A suddenly much-needed reinforcement may be coming for the Chiefs soon. They designated Clyde Edwards-Helaire to return from IR on Wednesday.
The second-year running back has 21 days to be activated. Edwards-Helaire has been down since Week 5 due to an MCL sprain. In the time since, the Chiefs’ offense has encountered its most significant struggles of the Patrick Mahomes era.
While Edwards-Helaire has yet to solidly justify his first-round investment, he has been Kansas City’s starting running back since Week 1 of his rookie season. The LSU alum posted back-to-back 100-yard rushing games in his past two full contests this year and totaled 1,100 scrimmage yards in just 13 games last season. Fumbles have been an issue for CEH, but he represents another weapon the Chiefs can use as they attempt to navigate these unexpected offensive woes.
Edwards-Helaire will rejoin a backfield housing Darrel Williams, Jerick McKinnon and Derrick Gore. The latter has become a bigger part of Kansas City’s offense over the past two weeks.
“ Fumbles have been an issue?” Sam do you watch any games or pay attention to the stats before you write this garbage? He has 2 fumbles. 2 it isn’t like he is a fumble machine. OMG where do they get these writers?
He loses the ball alot. And chill dude, it ain’t that serious. Apparently you don’t watch the games.
