Chiefs safety Eric Berry was selected to the Pro Bowl Tuesday night, just over a year after he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Berry was cleared to return just before training camp. He’s played almost every defensive snap this season for the Chiefs, who have won eight straight games.

Berry has two interceptions and eight pass breakups on the season.

The Pro Bowl selection is the fourth of Berry’s career. The selections of Berry and 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman — who’s returned from a gruesome knee injury — stand out among the players who were selected Tuesday night.

Berry complained of chest discomfort after a loss to the Raiders last November. A mass was found in Berry’s chest a few weeks later, leading to the lymphoma diagnosis.

Berry is one of five Chiefs to make the Pro Bowl; rookie cornerback Marcus Peters, linebacker Tamba Hali, linebacker Justin Houston and tight end Travis Kelce are the others. Ten players from the unbeaten Panthers were selected.
