Chiefs trying to “be smart” with Eric Berry’s return

Whatever happens between now and the start of the regular season, it’s tough to imagine that there are going to be any football stories better than safety Eric Berry’s return to the field after finishing treatments for cancer.

It’s less than a year since Berry’s diagnosis, but he was cleared to start camp on the active roster and Tuesday marked his fourth straight day going through individual and position drills. That leaves the question of when he’ll take the next step and move into 11-on-11 drills with an eye on playing in a preseason game. It’s one Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton isn’t willing to answer right now.
