Could we be seeing Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire back on the field in the near future? It’s sure looking that way. On Wednesday, the speedster was spotted at practice and the team has officially designated his return from Injured Reserve.

With this, Edwards-Helaire now enters a 21-day window for the Chiefs to activate him. While Edwards-Helaire has been battling a knee injury, it looks like he’ll be able to get back on the field sooner than later.

Now, the Chiefs will have three weeks to make the call on Edwards-Helaire. Again, it’s looking like he’ll be all set to suit up and help the Chiefs offense get back into a groove. While things have looked rough for the Chiefs at times this season, Edwards-Helaire is the kind of impact player to get things going again in a flash.
