The Kansas City Chiefs have released Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who plays as a running back for the team and former first-round pick, after dropping to the last side of their roster.

A hint about the update was shared in an online post by the running back Edwards-Helaire himself.

“Love ya KC!” Edwards-Helaire wrote. “A family I didn’t know I needed, y’all made a Kid from Baton Rouge dreams come true!

“To Chiefs Kingdom , its all love and the support I had in troubling times will forever be unmatched from you guys! With love!”

The player who is only 24 years old has yet to feature in any of the Chiefs games this season and was the fifth running back on the squad, coming after Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine, and Carson Steele.

The Chiefs are likely to substitute his position on the roster for wide receiver Hollywood Brown, who, by expectation, should get back from injury to play Saturday’s game against the Houston Texans.

Edwards-Helaire was drafted in 2020 by the Kansas City Chiefs from LSU. He was opportune to make a great rookie season with 803 rushing yards but did not do well after that, losing his starting opportunity to teammate Pacheco two years after he was drafted. 

The player also revealed that he has PTSD that was caused in 2018 due to an incident in college.

He was unable to participate in some practices to manage his conditions, and the Chiefs placed him on the non-football illness list at the start of the season before the team activated him.
