Former Vol Eric Berry, who has been battling Lymphoma since last December, was cleared to practice late Tuesday evening by the Kansas City Chiefs.
From Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com:
The Chiefs announced the surprising news Tuesday night that Berry has been cleared to take the field again on Wednesday morning for the first time since being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma last December. He missed the final five weeks of last season, and concluded treatment on his cancer in June.
Berry will speak to the media on Tuesday, and the Chiefs will address his medical future. But clearly his return to football practice is a strong sign of confidence and great news regarding Berry’s health. The Chiefs say that Berry undertook several rounds of thorough testing before getting cleared.
