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.

He wasn't back on the sidelines after he tore it. They carted him off.

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
shit-canned.

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

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

Just business....

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.

No..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 the 2016 was the Brady revenge tour.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

I'm being uber optimistic as you can tell.

Depending on the severity. Could be 4+ weeks immobilized in a cast then rehab afterwards can take easily another several weeks.

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 kind been a weird situation where the obvious signs for a complete tear haven't been there but it's "suspected" by all the "professionals"

Make it so.

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.
