The Kansas City Chiefs rolled to a dominating victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers last week without one of their top playmakers, running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, as backup Jerick McKinnon stepped up with a huge performance. Edwards-Helaire, who has been dealing with a nagging shoulder injury, hasn't played since Week 16. Kansas City will need the former LSU star now more than ever, as halfback Darrell Williams was unable to practice on Wednesday. As it turns out, the Chiefs received an uplifting Edwards-Helaire update out of Wednesday's practice, as reported by NBC Sports' Pro Football Talk.

Edwards-Helaire was a full participant in Kansas City’s Wednesday practice with his shoulder injury. He was limited in last Wednesday’s session before sitting out on Thursday and Friday. He was ruled out for the Wild Card matchup against the Steelers.

This is a huge Clyde Edwards-Helaire update for the Chiefs ahead of the playoff rematch with the Bills. Edwards-Helaire was able to take on a full workload at practice Wednesday, which bodes very well for his chances of playing against Buffalo.

The second-year pro had a bit of a down season for the Chiefs this year, though he can still be a dynamic playmaker when fully healthy, as evidenced by his two 100-yard games this season, as well as his 161-yard effort against the Bills in the regular season last year.

Judging by Wednesday's Clyde Edwards-Helaire update, the Chiefs could be adding another top playmaker to their stable of weapons for the highly anticipated clash with the Bills.
