A report from NFL Network may shed a little light on Eric Berry’s mysterious persistent heel soreness.
Per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Berry is dealing with a Haglund’s deformity, a type of bone spur that affects the Achilles.
From Garafolo’s report on Good Morning Football:
“My understanding, and I’ve spoken to people familiar with his injury situation. He’s got what’s called a Haglund’s deformity in that Achilles. That’s a bone spur that basically digs into the Achilles. Shaun O’ Hara, our colleague at NFL Network, he had it. I spoke to him this week. He said it is extremely painful.
