Eric Berry had to pause his Pro Bowl career to fight and defeat cancer.

The Chiefs believe their star safety he can reach that level again -- but they won't push their luck.

“We just have to be smart with him," defensive coordinator Bob Sutton told the Kansas City Star. "He has to be smart and realize, ‘Hey, this is going to take a little time here."

Berry doesn't sound like the patient type. He kept up his workout regimen while receiving chemotherapy treatments.
