With Alvin Kamara hobbled, the Saints sign a former LSU star for backfield depth.
By Bob Rose - Saints News Network | SI
The New Orleans Saints are signing former Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire. This was first reported on Wednesday afternoon by Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football and since announced as an official move by the team.
Alvin Kamara, the Saints leading rusher, suffered a groin injury during last week's loss against Washington. The injury puts Kamara's status in major doubt when the 5-9 Saints play at the 10-4 Green Bay Packers this Monday night.
With Kamara's availability in serious question, New Orleans is extremely thin in their backfield. Taysom Hill is already out for the rest of the year, leaving the team with often-injured Kendre Miller, ineffective Jamaal Williams, and inexperienced/ineffective Jordan Mims.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire
Edwards-Helaire, 25, was selected in the first round (32nd overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. He played collegiately at LSU, where he rushed for 2,103 yards and added 595 more as a receiver while scoring 24 touchdowns in three years.
