Clyde Edwards-Helaire Absent From Saturday’s Practice
9 months agoKansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) was out sick from Saturday's practice. If the illness proves to be a minor one, the 24-year-old should be ready to rock by the time KC opens their preseason action in two weeks on August 13. His Week 1 status should be unthreatened at this point. Edwards-Helaire enters 2023 while standing third on the team's backfield depth chart. However, there's a chance he finds a pathway to some occasional early-down touches behind Isiah Pacheco (hand/shoulder), who does look on track for the opening week. If Pacheco ever needs to miss time, "CEH" would arguably have more fantasy value to gain than passing-down back Jerick McKinnon.
