Eric Berry Injury Megathread

[Chiefspants]

Let's post updates, reflect, and openly weep here.

EDIT: Update 2, confirmed, Berry done for the year.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Chiefs?src=hash">#Chiefs</a> coach Andy Reid confirms the fears: Star safety Eric Berry is done for the season with a ruptured Achilles.</p>&mdash; Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) <a href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/906203762020106240">September 8, 2017</a></blockquote>

[TLO]

I NEED AN UPDATE

[carcosa]

I'm so sad.

[kcpasco]

Hopefully minor

[lewdog]

I'm a trainer.

It's Achilles.

[kcpasco]

I'm a trainer.

It's Achilles.

Well better luck next year I guess. We aren't winning without him.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Let's pray it's an achilles strain that the MRI confirms tomorrow.

[Fritz88]

That guy literally wins games for us.

Huge blow. Huge.

Happy for the win, sad for the loss of Berry.

Well better luck next year I guess. We aren't winning without him.

Didn't say it's a tear.

Honestly didn't look like a tear. Maybe a strain?

[IowaHawkeyeChief]

Pretty sure it's a tear... Next man in, unfortunately...

[petegz28]

Didn't say it's a tear.

Honestly didn't look like a tear. Maybe a strain?

I said the same as well. Let's hope for a strain.

[wazu]

Didn't say it's a tear.

Honestly didn't look like a tear. Maybe a strain?

Seems like I never hear of one that isn't a tear. Let's hope.

[CupidStunt]

He didn't SEEM in that much pain or even discomfort. But maybe I'm just being too optimistic.

[carcosa]

He shut down Gronk tonight. Shut him all the way down. If he's done, I don't know how this defense holds up over an entire season.

[lewdog]

Seems like I never hear of one that isn't a tear. Let's hope.

It does seem to be rare.

Let's hope this is different. It just didn't give that classic pop look when it happened.

[kysirsoze]

He didn't SEEM in that much pain or even discomfort. But maybe I'm just being too optimistic.

Neither did DJ last year. Just mad. Reminded me of that.

[Black Bob]

DJ and Devito had Achilles injuries. Now possibly Berry? Seems like the conditioning coach is missing something.

[Chiefspants]

DJ didn't seem to be in that much pain last year either. Just solemn resignation, much like EB's reaction tonight.

[Easy 6]

I'm conceding nothing until its official

[Chiefspants]

Really hard to hate this guy.

Will love the day he leaves the Faiders

[O.city]

Fucking shit

[ThaVirus]

He's had a bum heel all offseason and he came up limping. Just like DJ didn't appear to be in any pain and Kobe walked off the court, he probably tore it.

Shame, too. Houston, Peters and Berry are far and away our best defenders.

[lewdog]

Ok I change my mind.

I think it's a tear. FUCK.

[Red Dawg]

This is bad. He can't be replaced. Gronk did nothing.

[Hydrae]

I don't want to have to go through another season without him! :deevee:

[notorious]

So sad.

I would happily give this win back for him to be healthy.

[O.city]

He's had a bum heel all offseason and he came up limping. Just like DJ didn't appear to be in any pain and Kobe walked off the court, he probably tore it.

It sucks because he didn't play any preseason snaps and then played like 70 tonight

Shame, too. Houston, Peters and Berry are far and away our best defenders.some butt-****ing moronic chiefs fans want to get rid of Peters. Seriously.

[Buehler445]

They didn't cart him off like DJ and Devito. Hopefully it's something besides a rupture.

[TLO]

It's an Achilles. Sucks :(

Link?

[Rain Man]

They didn't cart him off like DJ and Devito. Hopefully it's something besides a rupture.

I hate to tell you this, but they did cart him off.

[JakeF]

Hopefully just a strain

[thabear04]

Link?

That's what they keep saying on tv.

[OldSchool]

Fuck. He was huge this game. Hopefully Parker can pick up for him. Or Sorensen, who did an ok job in his absence a couple of years ago.

[kcpasco]

Of course this takes away from our win tonight. FUCK

[Baby Lee]

Let's pray it's an achilles strain that the MRI confirms tomorrow.

Didn't he already have a heel complaint? I'll take a strain, bruise, aggravation, . . . just lord not another tear

[MarkDavis'Haircut]

Hopefully, he is OK.

[L.A. Chieffan]

Looks like he was walking on the sideline as the game was almost over

[Chiefs4TheWin]

Link?

They announced it during the game.

[Ming the Merciless]

Very shitty...he played a great game too...uggh

[Sassy Squatch]

We have the men to hold it down until he gets back.

[EPodolak]

Have come to hate the word "achilles".

Wow.. I would think that if it's torn he would be in the locker room with a shit ton of ice...

[Rasputin]

Eric Murray is going have to step it up. He can do it just expect some turbulence.

[penbrook]

Derek Carr @derekcarrqb
I really hope Eric Berry is alright! Praying for you bro! Amazing competitor and amazing person!

[penbrook]

Wow.. I would think that if it's torn he would be in the locker room with a shit ton of ice...

Was he even on crutches?

[TLO]

Wow.. I would think that if it's torn he would be in the locker room with a shit ton of ice...

Oh lord please

[Buns]

EB really didn't look too worried at first and he did flex his left ankle/calf without showing any pain or discomfort. Murray will have to step up in the meantime.

[thegame214]

Wow.. I would think that if it's torn he would be in the locker room with a shit ton of ice...

Zero chance he's standing or even out there if torn

[notorious]

Let's pray it's an achilles strain that the MRI confirms tomorrow.

What is the timeline for that?


Trying to stay positive.

[thegame214]

Was he even on crutches?

No

[oldman]

It appears he's standing on it, so that's a glimmer of hope.

[007]

Please be back for playoffs

no. I want him 100% for next season. If its a tear don't push him to be back at the end of the year.

[O.city]

The Peters jump thing with eb in the background was earlier in the game i think

[notorious]

No

Don't fuck with us my man.

[NIUhuskies]

EB really didn't look too worried at first and he did flex his left ankle/calf without showing any pain or discomfort. Murray will have to step up in the meantime.



I don't remember the replay, but if your saying he flexed his calf on his own then that means he didn't tear his achillies. If it was torn, he wouldn't be able to do that period

He was rotating his ankle all over the place. I don't know if that means anything.

[beach tribe]

I could have sworn that the feed I was watching that stayed live during commercial breaks caught a shot of him messaging his leg with some kind of device.

Doubting myself though.

He'll be back in 2019

[petegz28]

potential tear says Reid

[Eleazar]

They were doing the thompson test on the field, which tells you they immediately suspected an achilles injury. Guessing they will do imaging on it tomorrow, but if the information leaking out is based on a positive test and he needs surgery, then you are looking at 6 months.

[Beef Supreme]

This team's Achilles heel is Achilles injuries.

[CupidStunt]

Injuries are fucking annoying. And always to team's best players. Houston, Berry, DJ. We can't survive without these types of guys.

[petegz28]

That had to be way before he was injured.

I believe it was actually towards the end of the game

[WhiteWhale]

Can I be weird that I just feel bad for Eric Berry. Dude is humble, leader, does everything the right way.

ACL tear.
****ing CANCER
Now an achilles?
That shit isn't fair.

[notorious]

No that happened right at the end.

:hmmm:


I am not getting my hopes up.

[TRR]

I've said it multiple times. KC has a HUGE issues with their strength and conditioning staff/medical and training staff. The teams injuries every year are like no other. Would love nothing more than to see Rick Burkholder

Berry came back from cancer in a year. He will come back from a Achilles tear in 3 months. He will be back by playoffs because BerryStrong

What's the difference between a shallow tear and a full tear when it comes to recovery?

I dunno about achilles, but partial tears usually heal without surgery.

The peters jump video was earlier


Guy was carted off sides. He's done for the year

[Dylan]

Praying he is okay...

[penguinz]

I dunno about achilles, but partial tears usually heal without surgery.not with the Achilles. Little to no blood flow to this tendon so they don't really repair themselves. Possibly PRP could work but is still considered experimental .

[PutQuinnIn]

So, it is possible to walk with a tear?

I am getting my hopes up. Talk me down guys.

Yes, refer to Kobe Bryant making two free throw with a tear.

[carcosa]

I hope Eric Murray is ready.

[staylor26]

I imagine McQuay will be back on the roster

[Eleazar]

What's the difference between a shallow tear and a full tear when it comes to recovery?

They might shut him down and put him in a boot for 6 or 8 weeks and hope it heals on its own. They did this with Houston's knee in 15, hoping to get him back by playoff time, even though he clearly wasn't healthy when he came back. Surgery would mean IR.

With how many problems with his heel, and how long he has dealt with it, would be a miracle if it were minor.

A miracle here would be nice.

Eric Berry sat with his left foot in a cast, crutches leaned against his locker.

[O.city]

No the video was after Berry was carted off

It was shown after. Recorded prior


They're not carting a guy off and letting him come back out

[Rain Man]

Can anyone who has the game recorded cross-reference here? Was the Peters humping after Berry's injury or not?

On TV it was way after. The Peters hump was right at the end of the game. So unless they were saving the video for some reason, Berry was back on the sideline. But I guess it's possible that they could've saved the video from an earlier shot.

[L.A. Chieffan]

[Hammock Parties]

Hate to say it but I think he's done, period. The Chiefs will probably look for other options next year. Berry is injury prone. And his playing style doesn't lend itself to long-term health.

[Buehler445]

I hate to tell you this, but they did cart him off.

Shit. My bad. I was in the pickup listening when it happened then I saw him on the bench with a trainer. I thought for sure if they carted him off he'd have went to the locker room.

My fault.

It's weird they'd bring him back up though.

[carcosa]

Oh god. We're gonna play the Pats in the playoffs and Gronk is going to destroy us without EB on the field.

[Hammock Parties]

Contractually, they can't

Yes, but they're still going to look for a new starter ASAP. They can't rely on him.

[petegz28]

Was I wrong. Is TJ Ward still out there? I thought he got picked up?

[penbrook]

Calvin Pryor was released. He is available

[thegame214]

Yeah I just saw him trying to stand on tip toes holding trainers shoulder. Next man up but man that sucksssssss

With a tear you can't walk on your toes.

so Berry is just walking the sidelines after tearing an achilles...you cant make this shit up....well...yes you can

kind of like Brady going 16/36

And now this.

That's a lot of major shit for a team to sit there and say "yeah, we'll just pencil him in next year without a quality insurance policy."

I expect they'll give him every chance to rehab and win his spot back, but there will probably be someone brought in for competition/starter-quality backup.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Just got an alert on my phone that he tore his Achilles (ESPN)

[Simply Red]

No the video was after Berry was carted off

Definitely

Just seems premature since they haven't imaged it.

[Otter]

If this cheers anyone up: I'm quiet certain I saw Hill on the sidelines smiling and walking around normal after the 'cramps'. But yeah, Berry's injury did not look optimistic to my non-medically informed ass.

[Hammock Parties]

It's week 1.

They're not going to look to move ok from the guy

This offseason I expect a concerted effort will be made to find someone who can replace him.

Plus, achilles injuries are rough for skill position players. He might not be the same player.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

This injury sucks. Bad. No way around it.

But... if the offense could play at that level all season... I don't think it will matter much. We might have a legit 3-headed monster at WR, TE, and RB.

[O.city]

They were working on him on the sidelines.



Piss and shit. **** **** ****

Don't think so

I believe all the sideline stuff was earlier in the game

[Ecto-I]

Just got an alert on my phone that he tore his Achilles (ESPN)

There's no way the MRI is done. That's ESPN going off of what Reid said in the presser.

They have to keep the Raiders in the mix....Edelman, Amendola, Mitchell, Ware, Hightower, Berry, Ward.

Just business....

[Sassy Squatch]

Yep. It says potentially in the article.

[Psyko Tek]

Pretty sure it's a tear... Next man in, unfortunately...

THERE AIN;'T NO NEXT THERE' THE GUY WHO CAN SORTA PLAY, BUIT HE AINT GONNA BE ERIC

Are you suggesting the injury was planned? Are you fucking high right now?

[penbrook]

I was impressed with T Mitchell. He bounced back

[big nasty kcnut]

Question how much of a tear would be to not be season ending.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Teammates tweeting prayers out to EB now...

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Fuck

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Clay is trolling hard...Pathetic

[Chiefspants]

Looks like the best we can hope for is a partial tear at this point.

This reminds me of Gordo's injury in 2015 back when he was still leading the Royals. We all rejoiced when we found out it was a Grade 2 groin strain, and man did he return just in time for the playoffs and was a big reason why we won it all.

I'd love for Berry to do the same... it's just looking like a longshot with Breer, Sam's, and Andy's analysis.

[kcpasco]

Just fucking great

[Hammock Parties]

Clay is trolling hard...Pathetic

It's not trolling to say a player who is almost 29, has a catastrophic injury history and an extremely physical play style might be done playing at an elite level.

Right now Brett Veach is thinking about what he's going to do at safety next season because I guarantee you doesn't want to rely solely on Eric Berry and a 31-year old Ron Parker.

[Eleazar]

Clay is trolling hard...Pathetic

The uncomfortable reality that is... having to troll about something other than Alex smith

[BlackOp]

Are you suggesting the injury was planned? Are you ****ing high right now?

Yes..I'm suggesting that the injury is fake....like the wwf. Like both Edelman and Ware going down to non-contact injuries simultaneously...

Before you get crazy...just remember I was one of only maybe 3 posters that said KC would win tonight.

I also made $1k off the Manning SB shitshow...and predicted that 2016 was the Brady revenge tour.

Hate away....

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

There's no way the MRI is done. That's ESPN going off of what Reid said in the presser.

Yea I don't see in the news where this has been confirmed. A trained physician... hell, even a technician can make this diagnosis pretty easily with a half decent portable ultrasound. Even if it's a partial tear.

But as usual, they'll do the MRI before releasing any news

[notorious]

I have to step away from this thread.

[jjchieffan]

I assume that Dane is going to get his wish and see McQuay back on the roster tomorrow. But dang, did it have to happen like this??

DJ had 2 and looked awesome tonight.

[BWillie]

How long would he potentially be out if it is a partial tear? I know full tear he's gonzo for year.

I also predicted KC would win 31-20. Somehow they surpassed that and Smitty surpassed my prediction of 255 yards and 3 TDs

[BWillie]

DJ had 2 and looked awesome tonight.

I noticed DJ looked slow as shit on at least 3 plays. But still has those great instincts. He made a living though off of being a faster than avg LB...

Most linebackers will look slow when covering Brandon Cooks. Johnson played well and had a nice pass breakup on Burkhead in the end zone.

[Hammock Parties]

DJ's game doesn't rely on 4.4 speed and changing direction in a fraction of a second. He's also not 210 pounds.

Berry attempts to play like a player who is 25 pounds heavier most of the time.

It will catch up to him. Maybe already has.

Yeah it's not like he was covering RB's lined up as receivers tonight.

Dane is right. You have no clue about anything Chiefs.

[Hammock Parties]

This is silly. The Chiefs will explore their options at the safety position in the offseason.

You know they can't rely on a guy with Berry's injury history now. It's not smart front office work.

Remind me again what happened after Priest's injury in 02.

His injury history isn't really that bad. He had a torn ACL from a cheap hit by that sack of shit stevie johnson. He had cancer. And he missed a few games here and there with small shit.

This is the first major injury that wasnt caused by some odd circumstance.

[BlackOp]

When homerism goes right.

It wasnt homerism on my part...I read the the signs. Over-Hype, strange injuries...anomalies in the universal flow.

All roads lead to Vegas...and their abortion of a stadium deal...dont be surprised when Brady isnt available for the Mexico game.

Blown ACL, Blown Achilles, CANCER. FUCKING CANCER.

And he's not injury prone?

Are you fucking serious?

I feel bad for the dude. He puts in the work, he's an amazing player, but shit just keeps happening for him. But he's certainly injury prone.

I actually guaranteed victory. You can see it in my posts, I think I said it three times that I guarantee victory over the Pats. I just don't foresee in my wildest dreams that Alex Smith could throw 28% as many TD passes in one game as he did all of last year. That is the part that blows my fucking mind.

Watch at 6:45

Berry lifts his leg and plantar and dorsiflexs his foot which suggests against a complete tear. They didn't perform a Thompson test on the field but I bet it would have been negative.

My guess is this is a strain or just a partial tear.

Yes..another anomoly. I said months ago that KC might have been "Green-lighted" by the NFL...they have 6 prime-time games. This just reinforces it...they curb-stomped a team that was 51-1 at home.

Sorry to piss on the parade...but if you're smart..you can make $$ off this.

They showed it on the table, I thought, just for a second. He was prone and they were doing what looked like the Thompson.

[Demonpenz]

when it doesn't hurt it is usually rupsured. Pop sounding and numbness

I wasn't paying attention and missed it. Hopefully that foot was moving!

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

From what I've read , he didn't feel a pop.

I'm being uber optimistic as you can tell.

[Demonpenz]

I hope it is a strain but then I hope it gets right and they don't press it to make worse.

[BWillie]

How long are you out with a partial tear? Roughly.

[MeatRock]

Dudes not a doctor, he's a nurse if i remember correctly. Still, a nurse would have some knowledge i suppose.

[notorious]

I hope Tiger is right about Berry like he was about Alex.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

How long are you out with a partial tear? Roughly.

Depending on the severity. Could be 4+ weeks immobilized in a cast then rehab afterwards can take easily another several weeks as the leg muscle has atrophied and range of motion needs to be regained.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Dudes not a doctor, he's a nurse if i remember correctly. Still, a nurse would have some knowledge i suppose.

You must be the world's shittiest stalker.

I'll take it.

Make it so.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Yeah, they've gotta commit to getting it right no matter what.. I'd say he's done for the year either way. MAYBE a return in December.

[Simplicity]

I've also been going to college in a Athletic Training program and from what we've been taught so far is there are many complications with plantar and dorsiflexion after a complete tear in the Achilles. Also as most of you know there is usually if not always a pop or a snap that is quite audible. You can also visiually see the Achilles actually roll up the posterior calf and bunch up in a complete tear because the amount of tension the Achilles holds. So far it's been a weird situation where the obvious signs for a complete tear haven't been there but it's "suspected" by all the "professionals"

[MeatRock]

You must be the world's shittiest stalker.

Stalker? Where the fuck do you come up with that? I remember something posted here on CP about you being a nurse.

So, that's where it came from. :rolleyes:

I didn't see it roll up, and there was a clear view on the replay.

[Simplicity]

I didn't see it roll up, and there was a clear view on the replay.

Same, and if I do remember correctly with both of DJ's you could see his lower posterior leg actually shutter or "shake" when the rupture happened, could be wrong but that's off of pure memory.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

I'll take it.

Make it so.

With world class athletes, even a partial tear might be enough for the Orthopedist to convince him to do a surgery to work on the damaged tendons to reduce the likelihood of future re-rupture/full thickness tear. In that scenario he could be back later this season and Eric Murray will have good experience under his belt.

It's gonna be a long 12-16 hours

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Let's hope for the best and expect the worse. Again, this heel issue dates back to January. Might want to give him a lot of time off anyways.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Same, and if I do remember correctly with both of DJ's you could see his lower posterior leg actually shutter or "shake" when the rupture happened, could be wrong but that's off of pure memory.

Yea, DJ was completely stuck in a sitting position and didn't make any movement of the foot on the affected leg

[ROYC75]

How do you feel about giving Calvin Pryor a shot?

Maybe a change of scenery?

[pugsnotdrugs19]

There's no replacing Berry, but as I mentioned earlier-- if this is the offense we are going to get on a weekly basis, they will be fine. Much more balanced team.

[Tribal Warfare]

It sounds like he's out for the season

[Rasputin]

Eric Murray you are up to bat. You can do it son.

[Buck]

It sucks when your superstar has a major injury in the first game. He was playing almost perfect football tonight.

Went through the same thing with Keenan Allen last year. I feel very bad, but the difference is you guys are better than we were. I hope it's not major and he's back in a few weeks.

Also last year when Keenan got injured a bunch of you posted "stay down bitch." Doesn't feel so good when it happens to your guy.

For being out of all the pre season games he had to just shake off the rust it been awhile since he played a game.

[Nickhead]

is there a clause in his contract that he can be cut if he is injured for a full year, with his history and all?

i only ask is this will be what, his third year missed out of 8? :D

i joke, will miss him, but goddamnit :cuss:

Calvin Pryor was just released. Pretty good against run but don't know about his pass civerage

[Sure-Oz]

@RapSheet: Sources: #Browns are expected to release S Calvin Pryor just a few days before the opener after a fight with a teammate before practice.

[carcosa]

I 100% expect Pryor to be signed as soon as we have a diagnosis on Berry. It makes too much sense not to. Unless the consensus is that he's a psychopath, you gotta overlook the fight thing and do what you can to add veteran talent to the defensive backfield right now.

I bet since they give him a max deal that it has a clause for oncological diseases and they had Berry pay the insurance on it. But no, he gets the same rights as any other player on a contract for standard injuries

[lawrenceRaider]

Absolutely hate to hear about Berry. One of the class guys in the NFL, and despite being a Chief, one of my favorite guys to watch outside the Raiders. Hoping for the best outcome.

Yea that makes sense, spent his whole career with the Jets, was drafted by Ryan so he likely won't have a very steep learning curve here.
