Report: Eric Berry Intentionally Skipped 2019 Season, Intends to Return in 2020

After former Chiefs safety Eric Berry missed the 2019 season, he intends to return to the NFL in 2020, according to the NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

Garafolo reports that Berry, 31, intentionally sat out this season but isn't calling it quits for his career just yet.

"He actually did have opportunities to play in the league this past year," Garafolo said on Good Morning Football. "He took a sabbatical. He wanted to make sure he could get himself right mentally and physically."

The Chiefs released Berry in March 2019 after nine seasons with the team.
