Kansas City bosses will likely have runner-up Clyde Edwards-Helaire, but will run out of Le’Veon Bell for Sunday’s AFC championship game against the Buffalo Bills, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Edwards-Helaire appears to be questionable due to ankle and hip injuries. The team still doesn’t know exactly how much they will be able to play; it will depend on how you feel before the game and, if you are active, in the game, the source said.
Edwards-Helaire has not played since being injured in the Chiefs’ Week 15 win over the New Orleans Saints.
Bell, questionable with a knee injury, is unlikely to play, the source told Schefter. He had just two rushes for six yards in the Chiefs ’win over the Cleveland Browns last week.
Wide receiver Sammy Watkins, questionable with a calf injury, is considered a long shot to play, the source said.
