The Kansas City Chiefs will miss an offensive weapon
The Kansas City Chiefs will be without another offensive weapon in the Super Bowl. Wide receiver Mecole Hardman was placed on injured reserve earlier this week. The Chiefs had good news on their Friday injury report for the wide receiver unit. But they have bad news on Sunday afternoon at the running back position.
According to Adam Schefter with ESPN, running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire will be inactive for the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

The Chiefs will have several offensive players battling injuries as they take on the best defense in the NFL in the Philadelphia Eagles. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes will play through a high-ankle sprain. Wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kardarius Toney will play through their injuries. They elevated Marcus Kemp on Saturday to give them depth at wide receiver.
The Eagles appear to be the healthier team coming into the contest. However, they may be without their rookie kick and punt returner against the Chiefs.
