The Kansas City Chiefs are in the middle of destroying the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's been a fantastic display of football in all three phases from Kanas City. However, the team might be in trouble after this game, as Clyde Edwards-Helaire has fallen to another injury.
According to Field Yates, Edwards-Helaire is questionable to return. The team fears he's suffered a collarbone injury, which isn't ideal for a running back. The Chiefs' running back has struggled to stay healthy this year, but hopefully, this isn't serious.

The Chiefs have not made an official announcement yet regarding the seriousness of the injury. Although, it didn't look great, as Clyde Edwards-Helaire immediately doubled over in pain. Kansas City hopes their running back didn't break his collarbone, as that would keep him out for the remainder of the year.
It's a tough blow for a Chiefs team who has become red hot at the perfect time. If Edwards-Heliare misses time Patrick Mahomes and the passing attack will likely remain proficient. With Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, Kansas City is still a dangerous offense. Additionally, the backup running back Darrel Williams has served as a reliable option out of the backfield.
The Chiefs need their best players on the field, so it's unfortunate to potentially lose Edwards-Helaire. Keep an eye on Kansas City, as the coaching staff will monitor their young running back throughout the week. With Kansas City up by a large margin, Edwards-Helaire likely won't come back to the field. Instead, it's in his best interest to rest his collarbone and await the test results.
