The Kansas City Chiefs have added an interesting piece to their roster just six days ahead of the Super Bowl.
While the team’s running backs, Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon, have looked great in previous weeks, the team has decided to include another player into the mix.
The #Chiefs have activated RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire from Reserve/Injured and placed WR Mecole Hardman on Reserve/Injured.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire has officially been activated from injured reserve, and will likely be added to the Chiefs Super Bowl roster.
This comes on the heels of the unfortunate news that Mecole Hardman will be placed on the IR due to his pelvis injury.
His season is effectively over and he will be unable to play in the biggest game of the season.
Edwards-Helaire hasn’t touched the field since the week of November 20, and has been sidelined ever since.
However, even before he was injured, Edwards-Helaire had not put together a strong showing on the season, as his best individual game was on October 2, where he had 62 rushing yards, two receptions, and two touchdowns.
Besides that game, he has been largely ineffective for the Chiefs.
Will the Chiefs place any faith in Edwards-Helaire to succeed in the postseason?
He does have a history of fumbling, especially in the team’s biggest moments.
We will soon see how involved Edwards-Helaire will be in this game, as the Chiefs look to win their second Super Bowl in the past five seasons.
Patrick Mahomes has spread the ball around to multiple pass-catchers this season, but due to Edwards-Helaire’s lack of playing time as of late, this will be a situation to monitor moving forward.
