Clyde Edwards-Helaire joins Saints after being cut by Chiefs

NEW ORLEANS -- The Saints have signed former Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire to the practice squad, the team announced Wednesday.

Saints running back Alvin Kamara's status for Monday's game against the Packers is currently unknown after he left Sunday's game with a groin injury.

Edwards-Helaire, a 2020 first-round pick out of LSU, was waived by the Chiefs on Monday. He did not play in a game for the Chiefs this season after starting the season on the non-football illness list.

During his time with the Chiefs, Edwards-Helaire missed some practices as a result of PTSD that partially stems from a 2018 incident while he was at LSU.
