Injuries struck both the Patriots and the Chiefs during Thursday’s season opener in New England.
Chiefs safety Eric Berry left the game after suffering a left Achilles’ tendon injury in the fourth quarter. NBC was at commercial when Berry was taken off the field, but they later showed a replay of where he got hurt.
Berry suffered the injury in coverage on Rob Gronkowski, mostly on a non-contact play.
The Chiefs in February made Berry the highest-paid safety in the game with a six-year, $78 million contract. Seeing him get hurt in his first game since signing the deal is rough for Kansas City.
