Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Missing at least four games
The Chiefs are slated to place Edwards-Helaire (illness) on the reserve/non-football illness list Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Edwards-Helaire regularly missed practices during training camp, and he also revealed in July that he deals with post-traumatic stress disorder. His placement on the NFI list will rule him out for at least the first four games of the season and position Samaje Perine for a key backup role behind starting running back Isiah Pacheco. Meanwhile, UDFA Carson Steele bumps up into the No. 3 spot.

Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: In the mix behind Pacheco
Edwards-Helaire (illness) remains in line to fill a depth role out of the backfield behind Isiah Pacheco to begin the regular season, Jesse Newell of the Kansas City Star reports.
Edwards-Helaire, who revealed last month that he deals with post-traumatic stress disorder, has missed a number of practices in training camp. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said Tuesday that despite the missed time, the Chiefs "know who Clyde is and what he's done" and "know now what his strengths are" and "how to use him." Along with Edwards-Helaire, Deneric Prince and Carson Steele are also in the team's running back mix behind Pacheco.

Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Expected back at practice
Coach Andy Reid indicated that he expects Edwards-Helaire (illness) to practice Monday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Edwards-Helaire didn't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Lions, and it's unclear if he'll see snaps in Kansas City's exhibition finale versus the Bears on Thursday. When available, Edwards-Helaire slots in behind top back Isiah Pacheco, but the 2020 first-rounder's status is worth monitoring ahead of Week 1. In addition to Pacheco and Edwards-Helaire, Deneric Prince and Carson Steele also could factor into Kansas City's backfield equation out of the gate this season.

Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Out with illness again
Edwards-Helaire (illness) is not practicing Monday, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.
Edwards-Helaire suited up for Saturday's preseason loss to Jacksonville after missing time in recent practices due to an illness, and it appears the veteran running back is now sick again. He's competing with Deneric Prince for the No. 2 backfield role behind starter Isiah Pacheco. Edwards-Helaire entered Saturday's game second after Pacheco, with Prince taking the field third among Kansas City's running backs.

Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Limited action in preseason opener
Edwards-Helaire rushed twice for no gain and wasn't targeted in the Chiefs' 26-13 preseason loss to the Jaguars on Saturday night.
The fifth-year pro was the second back to log a carry after Isiah Pacheco helmed the ground attack on the Chiefs' opening drive. The backfield pecking order Saturday mirrors the one Kansas City is expected to start the regular season with, one where Edwards-Helaire logged a modest 87 touches in across 15 regular-season games in 2023.

Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Returns to practice
Edwards-Helaire (illness) is practicing Wednesday, Harold R. Kuntz of Fox 4 Kansas city reports.
Edwards-Helaire recently revealed via social media that he struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder, which is seemingly at least part of the reason he's been in and out of practice this summer. Of course, it's possible he also dealt with an illness unrelated to PTSD. Either way, Edwards-Helaire seems to have participated in more practices than he's missed, and there's not much concern about his knowledge of the Chiefs offense in his fifth season under head coach Andy Reid. He's competing with Deneric Prince for the No. 2 role out of the backfield behind locked-in starter Isiah Pacheco.

Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Dealing with illness
Edwards-Helaire (illness) is not practicing Tuesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Edwards-Helaire looks to primarily be competing with 2023 UDFA Deneric Prince for the No. 2 role behind starter Isiah Pacheco, so having to miss further reps could be significant. The fifth-year veteran landed on the active/non-football illness earlier in camp, and he missed a few days late in July due to sickness, but it remains to be seen whether his current ailment is a related issue.
