Berry (heel) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Berry was inactive for Saturday's divisional-round win over the Colts and also sat out the team's regular season finale. The 30-year-old appears on track to return for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots, but that is certainly subject to change given that he's played in only two games this season.

Berry (heel) is officially listed as inactive for Saturday's AFC divisional-round game against the Colts, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berry has had two weeks to recover from a heel injury, but will ultimately watch Saturday's game from the sidelines. Daniel Sorensen figures to replace him as the Chiefs' starting strong safety. The veteran defensive back will now hope the team can get a win so he can set his sights on a possible return next week.

Hopes are not high that Berry (heel) will be able to play in Saturday's AFC divisional round contest against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berry was sidelined during the Chiefs' Week 17 season finale, so he has now had two weeks off to recover. Still, although he is listed as questionable, it is being reported that Kansas City is not optimistic he will be able to go. Should that ultimately come to fruition, Daniel Sorensen will presumably replace him at strong safety.

Berry (heel) is questionable for Saturday's divisional-round playoff game against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Berry was a non-participant in practice Thursday and Wednesday after having been limited Tuesday. Coach Andy Reid is non-committal about Berry's availability Saturday according to BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site, so the veteran safety's status could come down to a game-time decision. Daniel Sorensen would likely slot into the starting lineup if Berry were unable to go.

Berry (heel) did not practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
After practicing on a limited basis Tuesday, Berry did not participate during Wednesday's session. It's conceivable that the veteran's absence was simply due to a rest day, but his status for Saturday's divisional-round tilt against the Colts is murky at best. Thursday's injury report will shed some light on Berry's chances of suiting up.

Berry (heel) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berry practiced in full until Friday when he was downgraded to a non-participant. If the Chiefs would earn a first-round bye if they can beat the Raiders on Sunday, which would give the veteran safety some additional time to rest up.

Berry (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Berry is nursing foot and calf injuries in his right leg. The veteran safety missed much of the season with a heel injury in the same leg, so it wouldn't be a surprise if the Chiefs were to elect to have Berry rest Week 17.

Berry (foot) did not practice Friday due to foot and calf issues, Brooke Pryor of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berry is managing injuries to his right foot and calf, the same leg on which he had a heel injury that caused him to remain sidelined until Week 15, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports. It seems probable that the Chiefs could elect to take a cautious approach to Berry's recovery, and keep him sidelined for Sunday's tilt against the Raiders.

Berry (heel) didn't play in the second half of Thursday's loss to the Chargers, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berry thankfully didn't aggravate the heel injury that kept him sidelined to this point in the season, as the team planned on limiting his snaps from the get-go. "We came in with a plan and we just stuck with it," Berry said. "We didn't want to push it past that." The 29-year-old produced six tackles (four solo) on 30 defensive snaps and may continue to split time at strong safety with Daniel Sorensen as he is eased back into the fold defensively.

Berry (heel) is listed as active for Thursday's game against the Chargers, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Berry will officially take the field for the first time since tearing his Achilles during Week 1 of the 2017 season, though he's expected to be on a pitch count as the Chiefs ease the safety back into action. With Berry unlikely to receive a full workload of snaps, Daniel Sorensen and Eric Murray could see additional reps next to Ron Parker.
