Of course he's like family. Dorsey was going to do the right thing and not give in to Berry's outrageous contract demands and Clark stepped in and gave Berry the money anyways.

Ah, so we should just let him play out the rest of his contract while he contributes next to nothing? That pain isn't going away until that bone spur is gone, and if the plan is to just wait until the offseason to do surgery then the Chiefs have really one upped their stupidly mismanage an injured player game.

I don't doubt it hurts really ****ing badly, but that doesn't change the fact that he's useless now.

Eric Berry lifted weights and strength trained THROUGH CHEMO and ignorant fools on here clown him for pain management.

Some of you are just hopelessly foolish.

You have no ide of the actual details of his condition, his bodies ability to recuperate and heal, the severity of the deformity or the severity of its proximity to his Achilles...and yet talk as if all the details are OT there.

I bet if you were informed, your outlook at the situation would be completely different...but you aren’t.

Are you saying this situation isn't very weird? Has anyone ever been day to day for 3 months? Has any team acted like its up to the player to decide when it's time and then a month later the player still isn't playing?

So you don't believe he actually has a Haglunds deformity, then?

You could be right and you could be very very wrong

I 100% agree with ALL you just said!

You sound like you are informed here.

Give us the scoop.

If this was as simple as a routine surgery to remove the bone spur, it would have been done years ago. Literally years ago. Especially if the recovery time is only 8 weeks.

The best sports medicine specialists in the world have decided what’s the best way to deal with this.

Be patient.

People tend to get annoyed when the team looks like a legit contender and the highest paid player sits on the sideline with what has been described as pain management.

Like it or not after a guy has been paid and that happens that creates hard feelings.

So you're just guessing too...

And the recovery time i'm seeing is 8 weeks to a YEAR.

His situation is unique in that his body got done fighting off cancer through chemo not long ago and that does a number on a persons immune system and ability to heal.

I think he’s had this deformity for 4 years (or more) and that the doctors are giving their best guess as how to treat it.

Or in this case possibly career ending.
