Safety Eric Berry has been cleared medically to practice with the Kansas City Chiefs, about eight months after being diagnosed with lymphoma.
Berry will join Chiefs quarterbacks, rookies and players with recent injuries Wednesday for the start of a three-day minicamp at Missouri Western State University. The Chiefs begin full-squad training camp Saturday.
Berry will answer questions Wednesday afternoon at a news conference in St. Joseph. Earlier Tuesday, Chiefs coach Andy Reid had said Berry was finishing a round of testing but hinted that positive news might follow shortly.
Berry complained of chest discomfort after a late November loss to the Raiders in Oakland. A mass was found in Berry’s chest, leading to a diagnosis of lymphoma.
Berry subsequently underwent treatment that included chemotherapy and radiation near his offseason home in Atlanta.
