Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire Opens Up About PTSD Diagnosis After Practice Absences

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire spoke with reporters Thursday at training camp about living with post-traumatic stress disorder, which he revealed to the public on X Monday (h/t Chiefs Digest).

"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," Edwards-Helaire said, per ESPN's Adam Teicher.

"Real bad dehydration ... but it's really just mentally just not being there. It is one of those things where early on guys who kind of pay attention like Travis [Kelce] and Kadarius [Toney], at times they can even, they'll know ahead of time like, 'OK, Clyde's not laughing, he's not giggling, he's not himself.
