LSU running back Clyde Edwards Helaire "will play in a limited role" in the Peach Bowl against Oklahoma on Saturday, ESPN's Marcus Spears reported on the SEC Network.
Edwards-Helaire suffered a hamstring injury at practice on Dec. 17 and was expected early on to miss the College Football Playoff semifinal game. Spears said the Tigers want to test the running back's abilities rather then sitting him ahead of the national championship, which LSU will advance to if it beats the Sooners. The national title game is on Jan. 13.
Edwards-Helaire took the field for warmups at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
