The physically unable to perform list has a running back on it.

The extent of the young man's injury is not known.

He missed a lot of games with a knee injury.

He didn't play in the final two games of the season because of a shoulder injury.

He didn't play when the Chiefs missed him. In the final two games of the season, they racked up 322 rushing yards and 142 rushing yards from Jerick McKinnon.

Helaire was a first-round pick by the Chiefs in the 2020 draft. In his first year, he had 1,100 yards from scrimmage and five total touchdown, but he didn't have more than 81 rushing yards in his last nine games.

In the third and fourth weeks of the season, he had back-to-back 100 yard rushing games, but he only had 226 rushing yards in the rest of the season.

Running the ball isn't necessary for Kansas City to have success because of the team's high-flying offense.
