The New Orleans Saints makes headlines as they swiftly sign young talent from the chiefs Clyde Edwards to practice squad as they intend to replace.
In a move that has shaken up the New Orleans Saints’ backfield, the team has swiftly signed running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire to their practice squad. The move comes as the Saints look to bolster their running game in the wake of an injury to star player Alvin Kamara, who is currently dealing with a groin injury.
Kamara, who has been the centerpiece of the Saints’ offense for several years, has been dealing with a groin injury that has forced him to miss time. While the extent of Kamara’s injury is still being evaluated, the Saints are taking no chances, opting to add depth to their running back room by signing Edwards-Helaire.
Head coach Dennis Allen expressed confidence in Edwards-Helaire’s ability to quickly get acclimated to the team’s system, given his previous NFL experience. The Saints are hoping Edwards-Helaire can provide a reliable option in the backfield if Kamara’s injury keeps him sidelined for an extended period. With Edwards-Helaire now on the practice squad, the Saints will continue to monitor Kamara’s health and adjust their offensive strategy accordingly.
