Broncofan Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Will find out tomorrow - but sure looked like the Achilles. Crusher if confirmed, season-ender, and worse, Chiefs are on hook for 40M guaranteed and pretty much locked in from 2017-19. Wow. Ian Rapoport ✔@RapSheet #Chiefs coach Andy Reid said star S Eric Berry has a potential Achilles tear. They'll know more tomorrow... but horrible news after a big W.

MrOaktown_56 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 This is definitely sad. A huge loss for KC, though they can cover up defensive injuries better than anyone in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Yeah, just a brutal way to start the season after such a huge win. KC just can't catch a break defensively the last few years - they always get into the playoffs, and then when they are there, they are down some vital piece. Sucks for them, and really sucks for Berry, who is a guy that is really easy to root for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakuvious Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 A real shame. We have good depth at S, so it's at least not going to be a downgrade to something horrible, but much of what Berry does you just can't replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwibrown Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 stinks for Eric Berry, also it is an awful injury, that can end careers, or shorten them. Much worse than ACL, PCL or MCL tears if it requires reconstruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks for them, and really sucks for Berry, who is a guy that is really easy to root for. It really does practically rotate, for us. For years Jamaal Charles, Justin Houston, Derrick Johnson, and Eric Berry have been taking turns having potentially career ending injuries. Those 4 players have missed the equivalent of 8 NFL seasons for us in the past 5 years to ACL and Achilles injuries (and that one bout of cancer.) It's ridiculous. And that's not including Ware and Kelce and Bailey who have all had season enders in recent years as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle21121 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Absolutely devastating to see. Just got the confirmation update. I feel for this dude and all he's been through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodo Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Terrible. One of my favorite players in the league even with being on a rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 One of my favorite players in the league right now... So easy to root for. Hope he can overcome this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Really sucks. I've never seen a player play Gronk as well as he did last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 To bad. Berry's such an inspiration and bad news coming out of a great win for the Chiefs last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Huge loss for a player that came up so huge in last nights game. He's such a good player too, so that makes it even harder to see since he's had injuries before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Terrible injury, but Berry has recovered from far worse. Might be the end of his season, but he's got a long way to go in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
