The Kansas City Chiefs have officially waived running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, a former first-round draft pick. In a heartfelt social media statement, he expressed gratitude to the Chiefs and their fans, highlighting the support he received during challenging times.

Edwards-Helaire, drafted 32nd overall in 2020, had a promising start with a standout rookie season but saw his role diminish over the years. He has been on the non-football illness list this season due to PTSD and cyclic vomiting syndrome, conditions he has been managing since a traumatic incident during his college years at LSU.
