Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Breaking News

Reverts to practice squad

Edwards-Helaire reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Edwards-Helaire was elevated to the active roster to operate as a third option at running back behind Kareem Hunt and Brashard Smith in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win against the Colts. Edwards-Helaire logged 17 snaps on offense, compiling eight yards on five carries while catching both of his targets for nine yards. He finished third at his position in offensive snaps behind Hunt (68) and Smith (18), while Isiah Pacheco (knee) and Elijah Mitchell (coach's decision) were unavailable. Pacheco was estimated to be a full participant at the team's walkthrough Monday, so he may be set to make his return to action following a three-game absence. If Pacheco can't go Thursday against the Cowboys, there's a good chance that Edwards-Helaire would garner another elevation in Week 13.

Elevated to active roster

The Chiefs elevated Edwards-Helaire from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Nick Jacobs reports. Edwards-Helaire will offer added depth to the running back position, as starter Isiah Pacheco (knee) is out for Week 12 against the Colts. The 2020 first-round pick will likely be active behind Kareem Hunt, Elijah Mitchell and Brashard Smith.

Placed back on practice squad

The Chiefs reverted Edwards-Helaire to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Edwards-Helaire saw his first action of the season Sunday against Buffalo and logged two offensive snaps, carrying twice for five yards in the second quarter. That made him a distant third in Kansas City's running back pecking order behind Kareem Hunt (47 offensive snaps) and Brashard Smith (12). The team's No. 1 tailback, Isiah Pacheco (knee), was unable to suit up Sunday, and with Pacheco expected to return in Week 11 following the team's Week 10 bye, Edwards-Helaire may have to wait a while before being elevated again.
