Just read on Twitter that it's due to a mass in his chest. Prayers go out to him and his family!

"The leading consideration" is lymphoma for Eric Berry. No official diagnosis as of now. Tests continuing in Atlanta.

Just wanted a thread to gather the thoughts and prayers for Eric Berry as he begins to prep his fight with cancer. Things like this make you take a step back and make you realize football isn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.


Here's to you EB, good luck and God Bless you. Get well soon.

EDIT: Statement from Eric on kcchiefs.com

“I am truly thankful for all of the support from family, friends, coaches, teammates and the entire Chiefs kingdom. At first I was in shock with the diagnosis on Saturday and did not even want to miss a game, but I understand that right now I have to concentrate on a new opponent. I have great confidence in the doctors and the plan they are going to put in place for me to win this fight. I believe that I am in God’s hands and I have great peace in that. I know my coaches and teammates will hold things down here the rest of the season and until I am back running out of the tunnel at Arrowhead. I am so thankful and appreciative of being a part of this franchise and playing in front of the best fans in the NFL. I will be back!”

Hope he's right.

Oh, no! Terrible news.

Eric Berry is a true VFL. Hope UT shows support in some way.

I work with blood oncologists every day. Very treatable if caught early. Prayers for him and his family. Inky and the friendship they share, will definitely help.

Looks like his relationship with Inky will get even stronger.

I am sure Inky will be an amazing friend during this very hard process.
