Edwards-Helaire (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Edwards-Helaire, who wasn't on the Chiefs' Week 10 injury report, will thus wait at least another week before making his regular-season debut. Versus Denver, Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine and Carson Steele are Kansas City's backfield options.
Edwards-Helaire (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Monday against the Buccaneers. Edwards-Helaire thus will be a healthy scratch for a third consecutive contest after spending the early portion of the season on the reserve/non-football illness list. With Isiah Pacheco (fibula) still on injured reserve, the Chiefs will continue to entrust the backfield to Kareem Hunt, while Samaje Perine and Carson Steele also will be on hand for RB reps.
Edwards-Helaire is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Edwards-Helaire, who wasn't on the Chiefs' Week 8 injury report, will wait at least another week before making his regular-season debut. Against the Raiders, Kansas City's backfield will be comprised of Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine and Carson Steele.
Edwards-Helaire is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers. Edwards-Helaire, who was activated from the reserve/non-football illness list Tuesday, practiced fully this week, but his regular-season debut won't occur for at least another week. As a result, the Chiefs' Week 7 backfield is comprised of Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine and Carson Steele.
Kansas City activated Edwards-Helaire from the reserve/non-football illness list Tuesday, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports. Edwards-Helaire had missed the team's first five games after landing on the NFI list following the preseason, but he resumed practicing with the team earlier this month and has now been deemed ready to play coming out of a Week 6 bye. With Isiah Pacheco (fibula) still on injured reserve, Edwards-Helaire could carve out a role in the backfield, though Kareem Hunt has fared well as Kansas City's lead back the past two games and should retain top slotting on the depth chart. Rather than presenting a threat to Hunt, Edwards-Helaire could more realistically challenge Samaje Perine for the change-of-pace/passing-down role.
Edwards-Helaire (illness) won't play Monday against the Saints, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. Edwards-Helaire was previously considered doubtful, so it isn't surprising that he won't be making his season debut Monday. Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine and Carson Steele will continue to hold down the fort in a Kansas City backfield that's without Edwards-Helaire and Isiah Pacheco (fibula). The Chiefs will be on bye in Week 6, so Edwards-Helaire's next chance to take the field will be a Week 7 Super Bowl rematch against the 49ers. He will first need to be activated from the reserve/non-football injury list to be eligible to play.
Edwards-Helaire, who remains on the reserve/non-football illness list, is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Saints, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. Week 5 would have marked the first week in which Edwards-Helaire would have been eligible to return, but it appears as if the team wants the running back to get an additional week of practice in before having him join the active roster. It likely helps that Kareem Hunt (shoulder) seems confident he'll playing mean the Chiefs will have the full backfield complement of Samaje Perine, Carson Steele and Hunt following Isaiah Pacheco's multiple-month leg injury.
Edwards-Helaire, who remains on the reserve/non-football illness list, practiced in a limited capacity Friday. The Chiefs placed Edwards-Helaire on reserve/NFI prior to Week 1, which ruled him out for at least the first four games of the campaign. The team then designated him for return this Wednesday, opening a 21-day window for him to be evaluated for a potential return to the active roster. Edwards-Helaire so far has managed back-to-back capped sessions this week, and Kansas City's final Week 5 injury report will include a game status for him ahead of Monday's matchup with the Saints. If he's listed as anything other than out Saturday, the team will have until Monday at 4:00 p.m. ET to activate him, which, if it comes to pass, could mean he's in contention to reps out of the backfield immediately along with Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine and Carson Steele with lead runner Isiah Pacheco (fibula) on injured reserve.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid confirmed that Edwards-Helaire was designated for return to practice Wednesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. Though Edwards-Helaire's 21-day evaluation window was opened Wednesday, he didn't take the field that day and instead made his return to practice Thursday for the Chiefs' first official Week 5 session. According to Derrick, Edwards-Helaire is scheduled to take part in scout-team work Thursday, and the running back's progress will be measured over the next few days before a determination is made on his availability for Monday's game against the Saints. Once activated from the reserve/non-football illness list, Edwards-Helaire could push for a role in a Kansas City backfield that currently includes Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine and Carson Steele while lead option Isiah Pacheco (fibula) is on injured reserve.
