The Chiefs recently opened up the 21-day practice window for Edwards-Helaire and he has been limited at both practices to start the week. We won't know what his official game status is until after Saturday's practice, but if he's active, he could see a lot of work out of the backfield with Isiah Pacheco (leg) currently on injured reserve.

Edwards-Helaire has been sidelined for the first four weeks of the season while on the NFI list, but the team has officially opened his 21-day practice window and he took part in Thursday's practice as a limited participant.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who was placed on the non-football illness (NFI) list, is set to return t practice after missing the first four games of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Edwards-Helaire had been working through PTSD, getting some time away from football to focus on himself and his health. Now that he is eligible to return to action from the NFI, he is anticipated to return to practice ahead of Week 5. It remains to be seen whether or not he is fit, mentally or physically, for real-game action, but if he is ready to play again, he will be competing with a trio of RBs for reps (Samaje Perine, Kareem Hunt and Carson Steele) with Isiah Pacheco out.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire has been placed on the non-football illness list and will miss at least the first four games of the 2024 season.

Reports have come out recently that Edwards-Helaire has been struggling with some mental health issues, and the team has put him on the non-football illness list for the time being to give him some time to recover. He will miss at least the first four games of the regular season this year, which will open the door for newly signed veteran Samaje Perine to see a lot of receiving work in Kansas City's offense.
