Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire: Expected to play Sunday

Edwards-Helaire (illness) is expected to play Sunday against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Edwards-Helaire is officially listed as questionable but should be able to go Sunday, despite missing practices Thursday and Friday. Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) is also listed as questionable but is expected to play after clearing concussion protocol, so Edwards-Helaire will likely be working in a change-of-pace capacity in Week 17. After Jerick McKinnon (groin) was placed on injured reserve last week, Edwards-Helaire stepped in as Pacheco's top backup in the Chiefs' 20-14 loss to the Raiders on Christmas Day, playing 29 snaps while carrying four times for six yards and catching three passes for 42 yards.
