It didn’t take long for former Kansas City Chiefs running back and 2020 first-round selection Clyde Edwards-Helaire to sign with a new NFL team.
On December 18, exactly two days after Edwards-Helaire bid KC farewell, New Orleans Saints beat reporter Nick Underhill relayed that “CEH” would be making his NOLA return.
As a reminder, Edwards-Helaire was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and he later burst onto NFL radars during his time at LSU. A Saints signing means a homecoming for the embattled running back, and maybe that’s the best thing for him at the moment.
It’s been an eye-opening season off the field for Edwards-Helaire, who revealed that he’s been suffering from symptoms caused by PTSD since 2018. The same symptoms caused the former LSU star to miss parts of training camp and the preseason — which led to him beginning the regular season on the injured reserve.
As for the Chiefs side in all this, it appears Edwards-Helaire will not re-sign to the practice squad after all. On December 17, head coach Andy Reid made it very clear that he’d “love” to get CEH back at some point in the future, but that’s going to have to wait.
For now, Edwards-Helaire will continue his football career back in the exact same place that it started, the Big Easy.
