Edwards-Helaire won't practice Thursday due to an illness, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Isiah Pacheco (concussion) will join Edwards-Helaire as a spectator for Thursday's practice, leaving La'Mical Perine as the lone healthy back on the active roster at the moment. Given that Pacheco still has multiple phases of the five-step concussion protocol to clear prior to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Edwards-Helaire looks like the better bet of the two to overcome his health concern. If Edwards-Helaire is active this weekend and Pacheco isn't, the former could be in store for a three-down role out of the Kansas City backfield.
