Chiefs Support Clyde Edwards-Helaire's Recovery

The Kansas City Chiefs have been commended for their compassionate decision to keep running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire on the payroll while he battles severe PTSD and mental health issues, despite placing him on the non-football injury list for the first four games of the season. Defensive end Chris Jones praised the organization on social media for this 'classy move,' highlighting the team’s commitment to player welfare. Edwards-Helaire, a former first-round pick, has seen his role diminish over the years, and in 2023, he recorded career lows in rushing attempts and yards. Meanwhile, the Chiefs continue to prepare for their season opener against the Baltimore Ravens, with intentions to pursue a third consecutive Super Bowl title. The decision to support Edwards-Helaire financially during his recovery reflects the franchise's culture of caring for its players. As the Chiefs start their season, they look to maintain their competitive edge amidst these challenges.
