Clyde Edwards-Helaire Status
rotoWire
Edwards-Helaire (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Super Bowl LVII against the Eagles on Sunday.
What it means:
Sidelined since suffering a high-ankle sprain Week 11, Edwards-Helaire had a chance to return to action for the Super Bowl when the Chiefs activated him from injured reserve Monday. That said, the team will continue to roll with the combination of Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon out of the backfield, relegating Edwards-Helaire to a healthy scratch Sunday. Behind Pacheco and McKinnon, Ronald Jones also will be available to Kansas City's offense.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) not listed on Kansas City's Wednesday injury report for Super Bowl LVII
What it means:
Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) is not listed on Wednesday's Super Bowl injury report.
Edwards-Helaire appears on track to make his debut this postseason after he was able to participate in today's practice. Expect the 23-year old to play a backup role behind Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon if he is active on Sunday.
In a matchup against an Eagles' defense allowing 20.1 FanDuel points per game to running backs this regular season, Edwards-Helaire's FanDuel salary stands at $6,500.

Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) officially activated off injured reserve
What it means:
The Kansas City Chiefs have activated running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) from the injured reserve ahead of their Super Bowl matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Edwards-Helaire hasn't been able to play since Week 12 of the regular season after suffering hip and ankle injuries, but he will now be available for the most important game of the year. The Chiefs had already begun to shift work away from the former first-round pick and towards rookie Isiah Pacheco and veteran Jerick McKinnon, so it will be hard to expect Edwards-Helaire to have much involvement in the Super Bowl.
Edwards-Helaire came out the gates blazing for the Chiefs earlier this season with 6 touchdowns across 7 games, but his role diminished as the season went on before his injury. He finished the regular season with 71 carries for 302 yards and 3 scores, and 17 catches for 151 yards and 3 more touchdowns.

The Chiefs activated Edwards-Helaire (ankle) off the injured reserve list Monday.
What it means:
Kansas City placed Mecole Hardman (pelvis) on IR in a corresponding move. Edwards-Helaire last saw game action Week 11, but he's managed to return from his high-ankle sprain with roughly a week left to practice ahead of Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12. Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon have been impactful as the Chiefs' backfield leaders since Edwards-Helaire's initial injury, so it remains to be seen how touches will be distributed in the big game versus Philadelphia. The extent of Edwards-Helaire's participation in practice could be telling as to his potential workload.
rotoWire
Edwards-Helaire (ankle) wasn't activated from IR ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bengals.
What it means:
With Edwards-Helaire, who last saw game action in Week 11, still unavailable, Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon are in line to continue to pace Kansas City's ground game versus Cincinnati. Edwards-Helaire will thus next target a potential return to action if the Chiefs are able to advance to the Super Bowl.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) will not play in Kansas City's AFC Championship contest
What it means:
Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) will not be activated for Sunday's Conference Championship game versus the Cincinnati Bengals.
Edwards-Helaire will remain inactive after Kansas City decided to keep their running back on the injured reserve. Expect Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon to play increased roles versus a Bengals' defense allowing 17.8 FanDuel points per game to running backs this regular season.
Pacheco's current projection includes 13.5 rushing attempts for 60.1 yards and 1.4 receptions for 11.7 yards while McKinnon's projection includes 7.8 rushing attempts for 32.1 yards and 3.4 receptions for 38.9 yards.
