Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire discusses struggles with PTSD
From time to time during his four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs and as recently as earlier in training camp, running back Clyd Edwards-Helaire has missed practice time because of what the Chiefs called an illness. Edwards-Helaire recently posted on his X account the reason for his absences is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and talked Thursday about his experiences. "Sometimes I'm admitted into the hospital, something like I can't stop throwing up and it's just, I [don't] know [anything] pretty much to stop it,'' said Edwards-Helaire, the Chiefs' first-round draft pick in 2020.Edwards-Helaire provided an exact date, Dec. 22, 2018, as the start of his PTSD. He didn't go into details other than to say he and a friend found themselves in what he called "a self-defense situation.'' Edwards-Helaire at the time was in college at LSU. Two LSU football players were trying to sell an electronic item on that date when one of them fatally shot an 18-year-old man trying to rob them, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, police said. The police didn't identify the players, but The Associated Press reported that Edwards-Helaire was one of them.
