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.
