Louisiana product, LSU star, and new New Orleans Saints running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire is staring at a terrific opportunity in the season finale. Edwards-Helaire, Jamaal Williams, and possibly Jordan Mims will be the primary backs when the Saints take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Chris Olave's 2024 season officially came to an end Sunday when the Saints ruled him out ahead of their Week 18 game against the Buccaneers.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire will have the opportunity to play in front of his hometown crowd. It’s the former LSU Tiger’s first game with the New Orleans Saints, and he could have a clear cut role versus the Las Vegas Raiders.

Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire will be active on Sunday according to interim head coach Darren Rizzi. With Kendre Miller (concussion) out and Alvin Kamara (groin) doubtful, Edward-Helaire should factor into the run game alongside Jamaal Williams as he did in Week 17.

Edwards-Helaire is signing with the Saints, NewOrleans.football’s Nick Underhill reports. This comes after the Saints saw Alvin Kamara leave their Week 15 game with a groin injury.

Former first-round draft pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire is set to join the New Orleans Saints' practice squad after being released by the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday, according to multiple reports
