KANSAS CITY, MO (AP) - The early report is that Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire sustained hip and ankle injuries and will miss the remainder of the regular season, though the team appears optimistic that he could return in the playoffs.
X-rays taken after the game on Sunday were negative. In the meantime, Le'Veon Bell is poised to take over the bulk of the work after the two-time All-Pro signed with the Super Bowl champions in October. Bell scored a TD on Sunday in New Orleans.
The Chiefs (13-1), who have already clinched the AFC West Division and currently sit as the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs, are next in action when they host the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Dec. 27. Kickoff in that game is set for noon, and it can be heard on KFEQ Radio at 680 AM and 107.9 FM.
