It brings me back to my response to Meck in the other thread - there's so much ground to cover here that the fact that the national writers are just not mentioning it doesn't tell me that they have a clear answer - it tells me that they simply haven't considered it.

We've been hashing this out over a couple weeks and don't have a clear answer. I don't think the writers would either. And the truth is the only people that do are the team and Berry because that medical information is protected.
You may be onto something with him participating early in camp and being shut down, it does seem to ring a bell. What I'm thinking is that it is very possible that he passed the physical, nothing was found, and then he participated and there was discomfort and they then dug deeper and found this going on. Being that, it's not entirely clear in the limited time I've scanned the CBA (and maybe I will look it over once more tonight) what would happen. One thing I do believe is true is that once the injury was found, it appeared the Chiefs did not have Berry practice or play. Then I think the question becomes if Berry decided to anyhow and that will fall under an exemption from grievance. I may be wrong.
