Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) remains on track for Kansas City
The Kansas City Chiefs think running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) is "heading in the right direction" to play in Sunday's Wild Card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, reports James Palmer of NFL Network.
What It Means:
Palmer essentially repeated what Chiefs head coach Andy Reid offered on Monday. Edwards-Helaire, who missed the last two games of the regular season, is expected to be ready for Sunday's postseason matchup with the Steelers. Darrel Williams is also expected to be available after injuring his toe last game.
numberFire's models project CEH for 13.2 touches and Williams for 11.4 touches versus the Steelers. Among the 50 running backs with at least 100 carries this season, CEH ranked 31st in Rushing Net Expected Points per carry. The Steelers finished the regular season with the No. 28 run defense and the No. 5 pass defense in numberFire's adjusted team rankings.
