Chiefs RB Deneric Prince took reps ahead of RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire in Tuesday's training camp session, according to Arrowhead's Pride Pete Sweeney. RB Isiah Pacheco was the No. 1 RB, as expected. RBs Keaontay Ingram and Louis Rees-Zammit worked as the fourth and fifth RBs.
We're not over-reacting to one drill in a July training camp practice, but it's at least worth noting that Prince worked ahead of Edwards-Helaire here. This could be a legitimate battle for the No. 2 RB job.
The Chiefs re-signed Edwards-Helaire earlier this offseason, but he got just $1.7 million on a one-year deal. That followed an ugly 2023 season that saw CEH average a career-worst 3.2 yards per carry.
Prince drew some buzz last summer but was cut in late August and spent the season on Kansas City's practice squad.
This battle is officially a situation to monitor in the Chiefs' high-scoring offense. We'd still consider Edwards-Helaire the favorite to win the No. 2 job, but don't consider him locked in as the Pacheco handcuff.
The real winner here is Pacheco, who faces no legitimate competition for the lead RB job. He finished RB14 in PPR points per game last year, despite losing passing-down snaps to RB Jerick McKinnon. McKinnon remains unsigned as of now.
