KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—A person familiar with the situation says Chiefs safety Eric Berry(notes) has a torn ACL in his left knee and is done for the year.

 

Berry was hurt in the first quarter of Sunday’s loss to Buffalo during a block by Bills receiver Steve Johnson, according to the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the Chiefs have not disclosed details of the injury.

 

The second-year strong safety made the Pro Bowl last year and was being counted on heavily by the defending AFC West champions, who were hammered 41-7 at home by Buffalo in the opener.

 

Berry, a former Tennessee star, made 72 tackles and four interceptions last season, returning one of them for a touchdown. He was the fifth overall pick in the 2010 draft and he started every game his rookie season.

I really wanted this guy and he was turning into a stud safety. But after yesterday I'm completely happy with getting Joe Haden. That dude is money.

Agree and Agree. Berry is a monster n woulda been nice for the browns, but at the same time haden is solid as hell.
