Logs limited practice Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Impact Per Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com, Edwards-Helaire -- who last played Week 15 -- is progressing well from his high-ankle sprain, and the running back's presence at practice Wednesday bodes well for his chances of suiting up for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Browns. Time will tell if Edwards-Helaire approaches Kansas City's playoff opener with an injury designation, or if he's fully cleared to play in advance of the weekend.

Spotted at practice Edwards-Helaire (ankle) was present for Wednesday's practice, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact After Kansas City clinched the AFC's No. 1 seed in advance of the Chiefs' Week 17 game against the Chargers, Edwards-Helaire was held out of the team's regular-season finale. The running back's presence on the field Wednesday suggest that he's trending toward a return to action Sunday in the Chiefs' postseason opener versus the Browns. The Chiefs will issue their first official practice report of the week later Wednesday, revealing the extent of Edwards-Helaire's participation in the session.

Patrick Mahomes watching Chiefs' finale against Chargers
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is inactive for their meaningless regular-season finale against the Los Angeles ChargersJANUARY 3, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Out for season finale Edwards-Helaire (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Impact Fellow running back Le'Veon Bell (knee) is listed as questionable for the contest, but with Kansas City having clinched a first-round playoff bye, depth options Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson should both be in store for a fair share of touches regardless of Bell's status. Edwards-Helaire, meanwhile, will set his sights on being ready to play in time for the Chiefs' postseason opener Jan. 16 or 17.

Remains sidelined Thursday Edwards-Helaire (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact The same applies to fellow running back Le'Veon Bell (knee). If both players end up ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers -- which is plausible given that Kansas City (with the AFC's No. 1 seed clinched) plans to rest some key players this weekend -- the next players up in the team's RB pecking order are Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson, with Elijah McGuire a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad.

Remains absent from practice Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) didn't practice Wednesday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Edwards-Helaire appears destined to miss Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chargers due to his high-ankle sprain and strained left hip, especially after head coach Andy Reid already announced that he'll sit some of his starters. With Le'Veon Bell (knee) also banged up, Darrel Williams, Darwin Thompson and Elijah McGuire are all candidates for increased workloads Week 17.

Won't play Sunday Edwards-Helaire (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Falcons, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Impact This news comes via coach Andy Reid, which sets the stage for Le'Veon Bell to head the Kansas City backfield this weekend, with Darrel Williams, Darwin Thompson and possibly Elijah McGuire also in the mix. Looking ahead, Edwards-Helaire is also expected to miss the team's season finale Week 17 versus the Chargers.

Sitting out another practice Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) isn't practicing Thursday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Given that Edwards-Helaire is considered unlikely to play in either of the Chiefs' next two games with a left high-ankle sprain and a strained left hip, his absence from both of the Chiefs' first two Week 16 practices hardly comes as a surprise. Expect Kansas City to formally rule the rookie out for Sunday's game against the Falcons following Friday's practice.
