Chiefs' Jerick McKinnon: Designated for return

McKinnon (hamstring) was designated for return from IR on Wednesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Kansas City will have three weeks to bring McKinnon back onto the active roster, and he'll be eligible to practice with his teammates in the meantime. Given the uncertainty over the health of Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder), McKinnon could provide valuable backfield depth down the stretch if he's healthy enough to play.
