KANSAS CITY (AP) — There have been checkpoints every step of Eric Berry's comeback from cancer, mile markers that have told him that he not only conquered lymphoma but just might be better than ever.
There were small ones early — the ability to do a single push-up during the energy-sapping rigors of chemotherapy. But there were much bigger ones later: running out of the tunnel and onto that brilliant green turf of Arrowhead Stadium for the Kansas City Chiefs' season opener.
Berry reached another big one this week when he was voted to his fourth Pro Bowl.
