Clyde’s return gives the Chiefs some depth at the position behind starter Isiah Pacheco and comes on the same day the franchise hosted free agent RB J.K. Dobbins.
He didn’t impress in his 1st period with the team when Kansas City picked him in the 1st round 4 years ago. Edwards-Helaire made it through a full campaign in the past year after injuries plagued his 1st 3 years but did so as a reserve behind Pacheco, who became the starter in 2022 campaign.
He finished last campaign with 223 yards as Kansas City won Super Bowl LVIII in OT vs. the 49ers.
Clyde led the organization in rushing as a rookie with 803 yards but late-campaign problems make his play in the postseason worse and Kansas City lost that year at the Super Bowl to Buccaneers led by Tom Brady.
