KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire sprained the MCL in his left knee and will be out of the Kansas City Chiefs lineup for “a few weeks,” according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
In addition, Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill suffered a minor knee injury on Sunday night, but the team does not expect him to miss time.
Edwards-Helaire injured the knee in the third quarter of Sunday night’s 38-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He is the Chiefs’ leading rusher with 304 yards through the first five games.
Veterans Darrel Williams and Jerick McKinnon are the Chiefs’ backup running backs.
