Former Tigers and current Kansas City Chiefs running back [autotag]Clyde Edwards-Helaire[/autotag] will be suiting up for Super Bowl LVII against the Philadelphia Eagles. Meanwhile, receiver Mecole Hardman has been ruled out.
This will be Edwards-Helaire’s first game action since November as he has missed the last nine games after he was placed on the injured reserve with an ankle injury.
Prior to the injury, Edwards-Helaire lost his starting spot to Isiah Pacheco amid diminishing production. He finished the 2022 regular season third on the team with 302 yards and three touchdowns on the ground to go with 151 yards and three touchdowns through the air on 17 receptions.
The #Chiefs have activated RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire from Reserve/Injured and placed WR Mecole Hardman on Reserve/Injured.

Pacheco has been a workhorse for Kansas City in the postseason, and he will almost certainly see the bulk of the carries. Still, Edwards-Helaire returning to the fold gives the team another option in the backfield.
