REPORT: Kansas City Chiefs Offensive Star Is Suffering From PTSD, Ruled Out For Multiple Games
It looks like Marquise “Hollywood” Brown won’t be the only notable name missing from the Kansas City Chiefs’ lineup after news came out on running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
The reigning Super Bowl champions open the 2024 NFL season on Thursday, and they will be without the running back after they placed him on the non-football illness (NFI) list, as ESPN reported, guaranteeing at least a four-game absence due to an apparent mental health issue.
The former LSU standout has been battling PTSD.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire opened up about his battle with the disorder last month, saying it began in December 2018 over what he described as a “self-defense situation.”
That matter caused him to miss time at training camp.
Edwards-Helaire said the disorder has caused him to vomit or not be in his profession mentally. He was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and is now on a treatment plan.
Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire Reveals ‘Very Overwhelming’ Struggle With PTSD
Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire was absent from training camp practice for two days in July due to what the team referred to as an illness at the time.
The following Monday, Edwards-Helaire took to X — formerly Twitter — to explain what he’s dealing with.
“Living With PTSD is no small feat, it’s hard and very overwhelming,” Edwards-Helaire wrote. “Within the last month Ive Had many flare ups and the Amazing staff here at the #Chiefs have been helping me get through some tough times. I’ll be back rolling next Practice! All Love, Glydro.”
The 25-year-old did not elaborate further on what caused the post-traumatic stress disorder. It should be noted that he has been involved in two shootings since 2018.
Back in February 2024, Clyde Edwards-Helaire was declared a hero for shielding a child during a shooting at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl celebration.
In 2018, while still in college at LSU, he and a teammate were involved in a robbery gone wrong that resulted in the death of a man who was attempting to rob Edwards-Helaire and the teammate.
