Clyde Edwards-Helaire has found it difficult to get regular game time for the Kansas City Chiefs this season. The running back has struggled with injuries and poor form, pushing him down the pecking order behind Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon.

Edwards-Helaire is currently listed as active on the Chiefs roster. He also trained with the team during the week.

Although he will be in the Kansas City squad, it's unlikely that Edwards-Helaire will play in the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

The Chiefs are expected to start the game with Pacheco leading their offensive backfield against the Eagles. They will utilize McKinnon as a potential backup, leaving Edwards-Helaire as their third-choice option.

However, he hasn't played for Kansas City since the end of November. A run of poor games saw Edwards-Helaire lose his starting berth to Isiah Pacheco.

Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts is having the best season of his career. The 24-year-old will be key to unlocking the Chiefs' backline.

Meanwhile, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is not fully-fit heading into this contest. Nonetheless, the 27-year-old is expected to play through some pain in order to potentially add another Super Bowl ring to his trophy cabinet.

As things stand, the Eagles are tipped as favorites to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. Only time will tell who ends up victorious in this crunch affair.
