It appears CEH has a sprain.
#Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire suffered an MCL sprain and is out for a few weeks, sources say. While he’ll miss time, not quite as bad as it appeared last night.

The Kansas City Chiefs already weren’t having a good game and then things went from bad to worse.
Midway through the third quarter, Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Halaire caught a screen pass from Mahomes and took it for a nice gain and a first down. Unfortunately, Edwards-Helaire got tangled up under a couple of Bills defenders and his knee got bent back and trapped underneath him.
Edwards-Helaire got carried off of the field by a couple of teammates and after getting examined on the trainer’s table, he gingerly limped to the locker room to get an X-ray. He was ruled out for the rest of the game.
Hopefully, Edwards-Helaire’s injury isn’t too serious and he will be able to return next week In his absence, Darrel Williams and Jerick McKinnon will get the bulk of the carries.
As of this posting, the Chiefs are down 18 points so it isn’t likely they will be running the ball much anyway. Keep your eye on Arrowhead Addict and we will bring up updates as soon as we get some clarity on CEH’s injury.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire injury video:
Someone on Twitter managed to capture the video of Clyde Edwards-Halaire injuring his knee. As you can see, his left gets pinned under him and he hyperextends his knee. Hopefully nothing tore.
