Eric Berry's statement regarding his diagnosis

“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!”

This sucks. I hate the Chiefs, but Berry is a great safety and very fun to watch, right up there with Earl Thomas in terms of ability control the middle of the field make QBs pay for the bad throws their defensive line forces. I was a bit stunned when Latavius Murray ran away from him on the long touchdown last Thursday and noticed that he did not seem like himself in that game. Here is hoping for a speedy recovery.

Welcome to the club Eric Berry, it sounds the same as mine, I hope they caught it early and the treatment goes smoothly because it's curable the vast majority of the time.
