He’ll have an MRI tomorrow to determine how serious it is. Rapoport said on Good Morning Football normally a collarbone injury means it's broken so he didn't rule out CEH coming back quickly since the X-rays were negative. There will be more to come on this so we'll keep an eye on it. The Chiefs are at Cincy in an early game in Week 17.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid told reporters Friday that Clyde Edwards-Helaire didn't practice due to the stomach flu. Reid is optimistic he will play Sunday night.

Stomach flu, the poops, general illness, or whatever it is, we hope CEH is good to go Sunday. If not, Darrel Williams will start.

It is also reported that CEH will start for Kansas City in their matchup against Dallas. Edwards-Helaire has missed five games since injuring his knee back in Week 5.

Darrel Williams will maintain a role in the Chiefs' offense after posting 101 yards receiving last week. Expect a committee approach to leave CEH as more of a RB2/3 with touchdown dependency.

Head coach Andy Reid told reporters in his Monday press conference that running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire is close to returning from his sprained MCL.

“I think he has a better shot [to play] this week. Pretty good chance,” Reid said, via Sam McDowell of the Kansas City Star.

Edwards-Helaire has been out since suffering the injury in Kansas City’s Week 5 loss to Buffalo. It will be interesting to see if CEH steps back into the top spot. Williams ran 11 times for 43 yards, but more impressively caught nine passes for 101 yards and a TD. CEH hasn't caught more than three balls in any of his seven games so far this season. The Chiefs have been forced to check down more and Edward-Helaire will need to be involved in the passing game to be a safe fantasy starter again.

The Kansas City Chiefs are designating RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire to return from Injured Reserve.

It's not a surprising move if you saw the injury - which turned out to be an MCL sprain. But the good news is CEH is expected to be back at some point, hopefully sooner than later. It's looking like Williams should get the early down work with perhaps McKinnon taking over the passing down duties.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire suffered an MCL sprain and is out for a few weeks, sources say. While he’ll miss time, not quite as bad as it appeared last night.

Things looked bad for CEH and his owners Sunday night as teammates had to carry him off the field after the injury. Eventually, CEH was able to walk to the locker room to get an X-ray under his own power, although very gingerly. If the sprain is mild, he could miss a couple of weeks vs. something more moderate which could keep him out longer. Williams will likely get most of the rushing workload while McKinnon could see his time on passing downs.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s improvement in the past two weeks — the first two-game stretch of at least 100 rushing yards in his career — could make the task of defending the Chiefs’ offense even harder for opponents.

CEH didn’t have a negative play in his 16 touches. Another major positive was that he didn’t fumble the ball, which occurred in the previous two games, turnovers that impacted the Chiefs’ surprising losses. Since his second fumble, Edwards-Helaire has generate 191 all-purpose yards and two receiving touchdowns on 29 touches, the story all said. There's been some talk, especially in keeper and dynasty leagues, that it's time to cut bait with CEH, but if the Chiefs continue to trust him going forward it will make the offense much more of a balanced attack.

Chiefs’ HC Andy Reid said today that RBs Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) and Darrell Williams (concussion) are expected to play in Sunday’s opener.

Schefter went on to tweet HC Andy Reid said it looked like both backs were moving around pretty good and expects both to be OK and ready to go against the Browns.
