Injury bug bites Chiefs, nips at safety Eric Berry’s heel

Three starters and a productive running back missed all or some of practice for the Chiefs on Sunday at training camp.

Safety Eric Berry wasn’t with the team during workouts. His injury was described as a sore heel. If that sounds familiar, you have a good memory. Berry missed all of training camp last year with an injured heel. Then he missed the rest of the season after rupturing an Achilles in the opener.

Berry has been practicing, but he didn’t participate in the Chiefs’ preseason opener last week.

Injured during practice were guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardiff with a head injury, defensive lineman Xavier Williams with a stinger (pinched nerve) and running back Damien Williams with a shoulder injury.
