Chiefs elevate La’Mical Perine ahead of Week 9 vs. Dolphins

In Week 9, the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Miami Dolphins from Frankfurt, Germany. The game is set to begin Sunday at 8:30 a.m. Arrowhead Time.

On Thursday, the Chiefs announced that running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire would not make the trip due to an illness. Kansas City opted to elevate running back La’Mical Perine from the practice squad on Saturday.

Perine, 25, made a late push to make the Chiefs’ initial 53-man roster, but with the team keeping only three running backs, he was cut at the deadline and added to the practice squad.
