Eric Berry to reportedly be on 'pitch count' for Chiefs Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs defensive back Eric Berry (heel) will be on a "pitch count" versus the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday, reports Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

What It Means:

Berry will not be pitching on Thursday night, but he will be back in the defensive outfield for the first time since Week 1 of last season, so it's no surprise that the Chiefs want to ease him back into things. Even in limited fashion, Berry should provide a boost for Kansas City's porous pass defense.

The Chiefs D/ST is 20th in numberFire's Week 15 fantasy rankings.
