Report: Chiefs S Berry could practice this week

A right heel injury kept Berry out the first two games of the 2018 season. He's the league's highest-paid safety.

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry could return to practice this week, NFL Network reported Monday.

A right heel injury kept Berry out the first two games of the 2018 season. He's the league's highest-paid safety.

Kansas City ranks first in the NFL in points per game but is dead last at No. 32 in total defense through two games.

CBS reported during Sunday's telecast of the Chiefs-Steelers shootout in Pittsburgh that Berry would likely practice during the next two weeks.

Berry, 29, ruptured his left Achilles during Week 1 of the 2017 season. Head coach Andy Reid said the right heel was also an issue for Berry during previous seasons, including last preseason leading up to the left Achilles tear.
