This comes after the team decided against making a practice squad elevation in Week 11 against the\u00a0Denver Broncos. This time around,\u00a0they\u2019re mimicking the elevation strategy they used in Week 9\u00a0against the\u00a0Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"chiefs-elevate-rb-clyde-edwards-helaire-from-the-practice-squad-for-week-12-vs-colts\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-m-font-size\">Chiefs elevate RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire from the practice squad for Week 12 vs. Colts<\/h2>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">With Isiah Pacheco still out of the lineup, the Chiefs will seemingly go back to a running back rotation of Kareem Hunt, Brashard Smith, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Last week, the Chiefs opted to go with free agent RB Elijah Mitchell alongside Hunt and Smith.\u00a0He played just seven offensive snaps in the game, recording no carries. His lone target in the passing game ended up being a Patrick Mahomes interception. While Clyde Edwards-Helaire didn\u2019t do much more in Week 9 with two carries for a handful of yards, it\u2019s clear that this team has a measure of trust with Edwards-Helaire that they simply don\u2019t have with Mitchell.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-pairing-4 styles_container__87Nfz styles_wrapper__7ffG2 is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-2 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained is-style-pairing-4--2\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/group\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;metadata&quot;:{&quot;categories&quot;:[],&quot;patternName&quot;:&quot;core\\\/block\\\/303589&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;List Box&quot;},&quot;className&quot;:&quot;is-style-pairing-4 styles_container__87Nfz styles_wrapper__7ffG2 is-style-pairing-4--2&quot;,&quot;style&quot;:{&quot;spacing&quot;:{&quot;margin&quot;:{&quot;bottom&quot;:&quot;var:preset|spacing|2xs&quot;}}},&quot;layout&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;constrained&quot;,&quot;justifyContent&quot;:&quot;left&quot;},&quot;tagName&quot;:&quot;div&quot;}\">\n<h3 id=\"test\" class=\"wp-block-heading alignfull has-text-align-left styles_title__dHix3\">Clyde Edwards-Helaire quick facts<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list styles_list__HaxrQ\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/list\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;className&quot;:&quot;styles_list__HaxrQ&quot;,&quot;ordered&quot;:false,&quot;values&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\">\n<li data-wp-block-name=\"core\/list-item\" data-wp-block=\"[]\">Age: 26<\/li>\n<li data-wp-block-name=\"core\/list-item\" data-wp-block=\"[]\">Former No. 32 overall pick in the 2020\u00a0NFL Draft<\/li>\n<li data-wp-block-name=\"core\/list-item\" data-wp-block=\"[]\">Selected ahead of Colts RB Jonathan Taylor<\/li>\n<li data-wp-block-name=\"core\/list-item\" data-wp-block=\"[]\">2X Super Bowl champion (LVII, LVIII)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">Andy Reid will likely point out that Edwards-Helaire\u2019s usage is matchup-dependent. Edwards-Helaire\u2019s lone game against the Colts came in 2022, and it featured one of the weirdest stat lines you\u2019ll ever see. He had seven carries for 0 yards and one rushing touchdown. He also caught 5-of-5 passes for 39 yards.<\/p>\n<p>This marks the second time that Edwards-Helaire has been elevated so far this season. He\u2019ll have one more standard elevation available during the NFL\u2019s regular season. After three elevations, the team will have to risk Edwards-Helaire on waivers to elevate him to the 53-man roster. Hopefully, they won\u2019t have to worry about that\u00a0with RB Isiah Pacheco making progress in his recovery\u00a0from an MCL sprain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0are getting ready to face the\u00a0Indianapolis Colts\u00a0at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season.
