Someone can "look okay" physically but struggle mentally. Chemo and radiation also can affect bone density, causing them to become brittle, so running 25 miles an hour and crashing into a 230 pound human being won't likely be recommended.
It would be fantastic if he could return to the NFL but as a fan, I'm more concerned about his long term health.

I think a lot of this will be dependent on how early they caught it and the level of medical tech he had access to. Cancer treatment for a wealthy star athlete with limitless insurance is much different than it is for us common folk.
I dont think Berry will ever play for the Chiefs again though...he's too expensive and they dont really need him. They did right by him though...Didn't he make like $12 million or close last season...that's ridiculous for a Safety.
