KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs are sure glad they signed Le’Veon Bell midway through this season.

What seemed like a luxury at the time — a two-time All-Pro running back joining the Super Bowl champions to back up a standout rookie — has become an essential addition after Clyde Edwards-Helaire was bent at an awkward angle Sunday.

The early report is that Edwards-Helaire sustained hip and ankle injuries and will miss the remainder of the regular season.
