The team re-signed veteran running back JERICK MCKINNON to a one-year contract for the… More upcoming season. Meanwhile, Kansas City declined the fifth-year option on the contract of fellow running back CLYDE EDWARDS-HELAIRE.

Edwards-Helaire was drafted in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft but has failed to live up to expectations while battling injuries along the way. Less

Factoid: Isiah Pacheco

Kansas City RB Jones on roster bubble?
After signing a one-year deal with Kansas City during the offseason, speculation began about running back RONALD JONES having a significant role in the team’s offense. Thus far through training camp… More and the preseason, Jones could actually be on the outside looking in after struggling to do much of anything noteworthy. The Kansas City backfield is crowded and, so far, Jones has done little to stand out from the likes of fellow running backs CLYDE EDWARDS-HELAIRE, JERICK MCKINNON, seventh-round rookie ISIAH PACHECO, and holdover restricted free agent DERRICK GORE.
