Report: Clyde Edwards-Helaire Out for Chiefs vs. Browns with Ankle, Hip Injuries

running back will not play Sunday in his team's playoff game against the Cleveland Browns.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the star rookie "missed practice time" in the week leading up to Sunday's bout with the Browns due to ankle and hip injuries and won't take the field despite being listed as "questionable" on the official injury report.

While his loss is a blow to the Chiefs' offense for Sunday, they won't be needing a long-term plan for his replacement. Schefter reported that the 21-year-old "is very close to returning" and "should be back" if the Chiefs advance to the AFC championship, where they would face the Buffalo Bills.
