Impact 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.

Inactive Sunday Edwards-Helaire is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Impact 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.

Returns to active roster The Chiefs activated Edwards-Helaire from the reserve/non-football illness list Tuesday, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Impact Edwards-Helaire had missed the Chiefs' 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 Kansas City's Week 6 bye. With Isiah Pacheco (fibula) still on injured reserve, Edwards-Helaire could have an opportunity to carve out a role in the Kansas City backfield, though Kareem Hunt has fared well as the Chiefs' lead back for the past two games and should retain top slotting on the depth chart for the time being. Rather than presenting a threat to Hunt, Edwards-Helaire could more realistically challenge Samaje Perine for a change-of-pace/passing-down role.

Officially out for MNF Edwards-Helaire (illness) won't play Monday against the Saints, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Impact 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.

Listed as doubtful for Monday 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.

Impact 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 be playing, meaning the Chiefs will have the full backfield complement of Samaje Perine, Carson Steele and Hunt following Isiah Pacheco's multiple-month leg injury.

Another limited practice Edwards-Helaire, who remains on the reserve/non-football illness list, practiced in a limited capacity Friday.

Impact 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.

Practice window opened Chiefs head coach Andy Reid confirmed that Edwards-Helaire was designated for return to practice Wednesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Impact 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.

Cleared for practice Edwards-Helaire (illness) is returning to practice this week and should be available for games soon, NFL Network's Ian Rapaport reports.

Impact Edwards-Helaire didn't get much playing time outside of blowouts or clear passing situations last season, but he may take on a larger role now that Isiah Pacheco (fibula) is on injured reserve and likely out until at least November. The Chiefs otherwise have Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine and Carson Steele as their backfield options ahead of Monday's game against New Orleans, giving Edwards-Helaire a chance to mix in immediately if everything checks out in practice this week.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back this coming week Edwards-Helaire is on track to return from the non-football illness list this coming week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact With Isiah Pacheco on IR, the return of Edwards-Helaire would bolster the Chiefs' backfield depth while Pacheco recovers from his fibula injury. For now, the team's top available RB options are Carson Steele, Samaje Perine and Kareem Hunt.

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.

Impact Edwards-Helaire regularly missed practices during training camp due to what seems to be a recurring illness, and he also revealed in July that he deals with post-traumatic stress disorder. The exact nature of Edwards-Helaire's current ailment remains unspecified, but being placed 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.

Impact The report notes that Edwards-Helaire, who revealed last month that he deals with post-traumatic stress disorder, has missed a number of practices in training camp, however offensive coordinator Matt Nagy indicated Tuesday that despite the 2020 first-rounder's missed time the Chiefs "know who Clyde is and what he's done," adding "he's a guy that's put a lot of good film out there. He's had a lot of valuable snaps here in Kansas City. We know what his strengths are, and we know how to use him." Along with Edwards-Helaire, Deneric Prince and Carson Steele are also in the team's running back mix behind Pacheco ahead of Week 1.
