Clyde Edwards-Helaire's first stint with the Kansas City Chiefs did not pan out as expected. Despite winning back-to-back Super Bowls with the team, he failed to establish himself as the lead back and left for the New Orleans Saints in 2024.On Tuesday, the veteran running back was released by the Saints as the team trimmed the roster to 53 players ahead of the deadline. After he was released, his wife JoJo O'Conner posted a TikTok saying she wanted the Chiefs to re-sign him.That's exactly what happened. On Wednesday, Edwards-Helaire signed with the Chiefs' practice squad with a view to being elevated in regular-season games.Edwards-Helaire was drafted in the first round in 2020 and delivered his best performances in Kansas City in his rookie season. He finished with 803 yards and four touchdowns as a rookie in 13 games. He failed to maintain consistency in subsequent seasons, and Isiah Pacheco took over his spot as the starter.Chiefs also reunited with Kareem Hunt in recent yearsWhen Edwards-Helaire was drafted, he was expected to fill a hole created by Kareem Hunt's release in 2018. Hunt was released after a video emerged of him pushing a woman to the ground and kicking her. Hunt was an important part of Kansas City's offense, but Andy Reid decided to cut the cord as soon as the video was made public.Despite his off-field problems, Hunt's career did not end. The Cleveland Browns decided to give the running back a second chance, and he spent five seasons with the team.He later returned to Kansas City, with Isiah Pacheco suffering from injuries midway through the 2024 season. Hunt led the league in rushing yards (1,327) during his rookie season in 2017.
