Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire discusses struggles with PTSD

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- From time to time during his four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs and as recently as earlier in training camp, running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has missed practice time because of what the Chiefs called illness.

Edwards-Helaire recently posted on his X account the reason for his absences is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and talked Thursday about how debilitating the condition can be.

"Sometimes I'm admitted into the hospital, something like I can't stop throwing up and it's just, I [don't] know [anything] pretty much to stop it,'' said Edwards-Helaire, the Chiefs' first-round draft pick in 2020.
