It’s official: Eric Berry is active.
For the first time since Week 1 of the 2017 season, the safety will take the field for the Chiefs. Berry, who missed last season because of an Achilles tear and the majority of this season because of a sore heel, is expected to start the Thursday night game against the Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium.
Three season ago, Berry also made his home debut on a Thursday night. On Sept. 17, 2015, Berry played his first game back from cancer at Arrowhead. The Chiefs also wore red-on-red that night, but lost to Denver 31-24.
