The Chiefs have won four of their last five games and they’ll get some help in their quest to make it five of six against the Jets this Sunday.
Coach Andy Reid said Friday that safety Eric Berry will play for the first time since spraining his ankle in September. Berry has missed the last five games while recovering from the injury and Reid said he wasn’t sure what his role would wind up being against the Jets.
“We’ll just see how he does, see how he feels,” Reid said, via Herbie Teope of the Associated Press.
Ron Parker has replaced Berry in the starting lineup during his time on the sideline and done a solid job, so Kansas City will likely find a role for him once Berry resumes a full workload in the secondary.
Cornerback Jamell Fleming, linebacker Josh Martin, cornerback Chris Owens and wide receiver Donnie Avery have all been ruled out.
