NFL family shows support for Chiefs' Eric Berry

Published: Nov 24, 2014 at 10:14 AM

Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder announced Monday that doctors found a mass on the right side of Eric Berry's chest last week, prompting the team to put the star safety on the non-football injury list, ending his season.

Berry will visit a lymphoma specialist to determine a final diagnosis, Burkholder said.

Fellow members of the NFL, past and present, were quick to take to social media to show their support for and send their best wishes to the former Tennessee Volunteer:

Praying for Eric Berry @Stuntman1429 to have healing. Rooting for you to stay encouraged. Stay Strong boss.
