The Kansas City Chiefs have waived running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, creating a roster spot. Edwards-Helaire quickly signed with the New Orleans Saints, marking a return to his home state of Louisiana.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid expressed gratitude for Edwards-Helaire's contributions and left the door open for a potential future reunion. The move comes amid concerns over Saints' star running back Alvin Kamara's injury, with Edwards-Helaire expected to provide depth in the backfield.
