New Injury Update For Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire
On Sunday afternoon, the Kansas City Chiefs destroyed the Pittsburgh Steelers in an impressive showing by a final score of 36-10.
Unfortunately, the win may have come with a cost. During the game, running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire suffered a tough hit from a Steelers defender and landed on his shoulder.
He initially left the game and was listed as questionable, but eventually was forced out of the game with a collarbone injury. Thankfully, the Chiefs received somewhat positive news on Sunday night.
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Edwards-Helaire’s X-rays came back negative.
“X-Rays on the collarbone of #Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire were negative. He’ll have an MRI tomorrow to determine how serious it is,” Rapoport said.

That’s a significant piece of news for the Chiefs. If Edwards-Helaire had broken his collarbone, he likely would have been done for the season – even the playoffs.
The MRI should show how much damage his shoulder sustained. Hopefully it’s not significant and he’ll be able to return to the team before a playoff run.
We’ll have the latest when it becomes available.
