News

  • Set to return in Week 11

    The Texans removed Edwards' roster exemption Monday.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old defensive lineman was reinstated from his four-game suspension by the NFL on Nov. 11, and his activation Monday suggests that he'll return for the Texans' Week 11 matchup against the Cowboys. Expect Edwards to serve as one of Houston's top rotational defensive lineman Monday night, having recorded 18 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, through six appearances this season.

  • Reinstated by NFL

    The NFL reinstated Edwards from his four-game suspension Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Edwards was suspended Oct. 14 for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, but he's since served his time and missed the Texans' last four contests. The veteran defensive lineman recorded 18 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one pass defended through six appearances before his suspension. He's expected to play in Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, but he must still be activated to the Texans' active roster in order to suit up.

  • Placed on Reserve/Suspended list

    The Texans placed Edwards on the Reserve/Suspended list Monday.

    Analysis: Edwards was officially taken off the active roster after it was announced earlier Monday that he would be suspended for four games without pay for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. In the 30-year-old's absence, Tim Settle will likely start at defensive tackle in his place.

  • Suspended for four games

    Edwards was suspended four games without pay Monday for violating the NFL's substance of abuse policy, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Edwards has appeared in all six of the Texans' games this season, recording 15 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and defending one pass. The Florida State product will be eligible for reinstatement ahead of Houston's Week 11 matchup against the Cowboys on Nov. 18.

  • Records sack versus Colts

    Edwards logged three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Texans' 29-27 win versus Indianapolis on Sunday.

    Analysis: Edwards recorded one of Houston's two sacks Sunday while starting in place of Denico Autry who's currently serving a six-game PED suspension. The 30-year-old should continue to see increased playing time until Autry's suspension comes to an end.

  • In for larger role

    Edwards is expected to start in place of Denico Autry, who will serve a six-game PED suspension to begin the Texans' 2024 campaign, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Edwards hasn't seen much of the field over the last three seasons, starting just nine games during that span, but he's set for a larger role now that Autry has been suspended. Last year, Edwards appeared in 15 games and played 392 defensive snaps for the Seahawks, posting 21 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one forced fumble. He's now expected to line up alongside Danielle Hunter to begin the Texans' 2024 season.

  • Signing with Houston

    Edwards is in line to sign a one-year contract with the Texans, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: In 15 regular-season games with the Seahawks in 2023, Edwards recorded 21 tackles and two sacks. Per Wilson, the 30-year-old is viewed as a strong fit in the Texans' 4-3 defensive scheme, with Edwards' ability to play all over the defensive line an asset to a unit that also currently includes Danielle Hunter, Will Anderson, Denico Autry, Khalil Davis, Tim Settle and Folorunso Fatukasi.

  • Visits Houston

    Edwards (knee) had a visit with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Edwards missed the final game of the 2023 season due to a knee injury. His visit in Houston indicates he has put that injury behind him. The journeyman recorded 21 tackles (15 solo), one pass defensed and one forced fumble across 15 games for Seattle last season. He is now looking for a new opportunity.

  • Two sacks with Seahawks

    Edwards (knee) recorded 21 tackles (15 solo), two sacks, a pass breakup and a forced fumble across 15 games during the 2023 regular season.

    Analysis: Edwards missed the final two games with a knee injury, but there isn't any indication at this time that it'll be a long-term issue. The 30-year-old defensive end will be an unrestricted free agent in March and could move onto his fourth team in four years. He'll be a rotational lineman wherever he ends up.

  • Missing another week

    Edwards (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old defensive lineman didn't practice all week, and he'll now miss his second consecutive game as he continues to nurse a knee injury. With Edwards missing more time, expect Myles Adams to see increased opportunities as a rotational defensive end.

  • Out Week 17

    Edwards will not play in Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a knee injury, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: No surprise here, as Edwards was unable to practice all week. As a result, Myles Adams will be the primary depth option at defensive end behind Dre'Mont Jones and Leonard Williams.

  • Eyeing starting job

    Edwards is projected to start at defensive end for the Seahawks this season, Michael Shawn-Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Edwards has been taking starting reps during training camp next to nose tackle Jarran Reed and opposite defensive end Dre'Mont Jones (toe). Last season with the Titans, Edwards recorded 17 tackles (12 solo), three sacks and a pass breakup. The 2016 second-round pick hasn't posted more than 20 tackles since 2017.

  • Inactive against Texans

    Edwards (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Edwards was signed by the Titans in Week 3 and has been active in every game since. However, his role has slipped in recent games as Tennessee's defensive line has gotten healthier, which leaves Edwards as the odd-man out in Week 16.

  • Headed to Tennessee

    The Titans signed Edwards off the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Edwards joined Jacksonville's practice squad after he was released by Chicago ahead of the regular season. The 28-year-old defensive end collected eight tackles and two sacks while playing 200 defensive snaps over 12 games with the Bears last season. Now that he's with the Titans, the 28-year-old will look to carve out a role behind starting defensive ends Jeffery Simmons and DeMarcus Walker.

  • Signs with Jacksonville

    The Jaguars signed Edwards to their practice squad Sunday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Edwards recorded 25 tackles and six sacks across 27 appearances during two seasons in Chicago but was let go ahead of Tuesday's initial 53-man roster deadline. The veteran defensive end will look to work his way back to NFL action through the Jaguars' practice squad.

  • Posts no stats in loss

    Edwards had no statistical production in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with seven tackles and 1.5 sacks.

    Analysis: Edwards posted fewer than 10 tackles, and he's failed to surpass 17 tackles in each of his last four seasons. In addition, the situational pass rusher posted fewer than two sacks for the first time in five years. He's signed through 2023 with void years in 2024 and 2025, and the modest IDP value he'll have is when he records an occasional sack.

  • Activated from COVID-19 list

    The Bears activated Edwards from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: Edwards was unavailable for 10 days due to the league's COVID-19 protocols, but he'll now return to practice. The 27-year-old has missed three of the last four games but could serve as a starter Sunday against Seattle since Bilal Nichols (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.

  • Not activated Monday

    Edwards wasn't reinstated from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Monday's game against the Vikings, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

    Analysis: Edwards will miss his fifth game of the season after he was placed on the list Dec. 13. According to Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Edwards is unvaccinated, and because he wasn't reinstated to the roster after completing the five-day quarantine associated with players deemed to be high-risk close contacts, it's safe to conclude that the defensive end tested positive for the virus. That means Edwards will have to complete a 10-day quarantine period from his initial positive test,…read more

  • Goes on COVID-19 list

    The Bears placed Edwards on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: Edwards returned from a two-game absence due to a rib injury to play 19 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Packers, but he now finds himself at risk of missing time due to a new issue. According to Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Edwards is unvaccinated, so he'll be away from the team for a minimum of five days even if he's been deemed a close contact of an infected person. If Edwards has tested positive himself, he'll be out for at least 10 days, meaning he won't be available to play in…read more

  • Will play Sunday

    Edwards (ribs) is active Sunday against the Packers.

    Analysis: Edwards has been absent from the Bears' previous two games. After logging consecutive full practices Thursday and Friday, he'll make his return to the field. The seven-year veteran should resume a rotational role on the Bears' defensive line, where he's compiled seven tackles (two solo), 1.5 sacks and a pass defensed across eight games.

  • Logs full practice

    Edwards (ribs) logged a full practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Edwards missed each of Chicago's last two games and logged a limited session Wednesday, so the latest development is an encouraging sign ahead of his potential availability for Sunday's game against the Packers. Edwards has seven tackles (two solo), 1.5 sacks and one pass defended through eight appearances in 2021.

  • Out again Week 13

    Edwards (ribs) has been ruled out for the Bears' Week 13 game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old will miss his second consecutive contest while nursing the ribs injury. As a result of Edwards being out, Bilal Nichols will again get the start at right end.

  • Out Week 12 with rib injury

    Edwards is inactive for Thursday's game against the Lions due to a rib injury.

    Analysis: Listed as questionable heading into the day, Edwards was listed as a full participant on the Bears' first two practice reports of the week before downgrading to limited activity Wednesday. The step back in terms of on-field reps looks like it was enough to keep Edwards sidelined for the first time since Week 2. When healthy, Edwards has filled a minor rotational role along the defensive line, as he's played no more than 40 percent of the defensive snaps in any of his eight appearances.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Notches sack in debut

    Edwards posted two solo tackles and a sack in Sunday's 26-6 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: It was a long afternoon for the Bears, but Edwards managed to notch a sack in his season debut. However, Edwards played just 26 percent of the snaps, so we can't count on him for IDP purposes.

  • Suspension uplifted

    Edwards officially had his suspension uplifted by the league Monday, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Edwards was handed a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance enhancing substances following the 2020 season. He has now completed that ban and will be available for the Bears going forward. The 27-year-old recorded a career-high four sacks in 2020.

  • Inks three-year extension

    The Bears signed Edwards (suspension) to a three-year, $11.55 million contract Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Edwards managed a career-high four sacks during his inaugural season with the Bears last year, in addition to 17 tackles (11 solo) and one pass breakup. The 27-year-old's success as a rotational player in Chicago's scheme should allow him to continue making the most of his opportunities, but as long as he lacks a full-time role he'll be off the radar in most IDP formats. Edwards still is facing a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substance.

  • Handed two-game ban

    Edwards received a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Edwards posted a career-high four sacks to complement 17 tackles and a pass breakup in 2020. The sixth-year defensive end played in a reserve role, averaging just 17 defensive snaps per game. Edwards will be an unrestricted free agent in March.

  • Posts career high in sacks

    Edwards tallied one tackle in Chicago's 35-16 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Edwards served as a rotational player, as he's been in each of the last three seasons while playing for three different teams, and he ended the campaign with 16 tackles to go along with a career-high four sacks. After the Bears conclude their playoff run, he'll become an unrestricted free agent and likely remain as a rotational player going forward, regardless of where he lands.

  • Pair of sacks

    Edwards recorded two sacks and two tackles in the Bears' 36-7 victory over the Texans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Edwards has posted exactly two tackles in four of his last five games, and he now has four sacks on the season, but he remains a sack-dependent IDP option.

  • Ready for Week 4

    Edwards (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: Edwards was a late addition to the injury report Saturday and was listed as questionable, but he'll be available for Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old has played only 22 defensive snaps in the past two games and is unlikely to play a major role versus Indianapolis.

    Published: Sun, Oct 4 at 12:43pm by Rotowire.com

  • Injury pops up

    Edwards (foot) has been designated as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Colts, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Edwards was absent from the injury report all week, but now his status is uncertain for Week 4. The 26-year-old defensive end has played just 22 snaps over the past two weeks, so his possible absence would only affect the team's depth at defensive end behind Akiem Hicks and Roy Robertson-Harris.

  • Ready to rock

    Edwards (leg) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Edwards came into the contest questionable with a leg issue, however, he appears healthy to give it a go after testing it in pregame warmups. Edwards only saw eight defensive snaps in Week 2, so he'll likely be in line for a similar workload this week.

  • Finds new home

    Edwards inked a contract with the Bears on Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 2015 second-round pick was released by the Saints on Saturday despite appearing in 14 games with the squad during the 2019 campaign. Edwards will likely get a chance to see the field right away for Week 1, especially considering Eddie Goldman has opted out for the season and Akiem Hicks (quadriceps) is dealing with injury. Last season, Edwards logged just eight tackles (two solo), three sacks and a forced fumble.

  • Released by Saints

    Edwards was released by the Saints on Saturday, Amie Just of Nola.com reports.

    Analysis: After playing for the Raiders and Giants, Edwards spent 2019 with the Saints, where he appeared in 14 games. The team released him in favor of David Onyemata, Malcom Brown, Sheldon Rankins, Shy Tuttle and Malcolm Roach.

  • Solid in limited action

    Edwards recorded eight tackles (six solo), 3.0 sacks and a forced fumble during the 2019 NFL season.

    Analysis: He appeared in 14 games without a start in his first season with New Orleans, taking the field for 299 defensive snaps. He's not a guy who will take the field with regularity, though he's proved to be solid with limited opportunities. Edwards is under contract through 2021 and should be back with the team in 2020.

  • Records sack in dominant win

    Edwards recorded three tackles (two solo), one tackle for a loss and a sack in the Saints' 42-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Edwards recorded his first sack in three weeks, finishing 2019 on a high note. In 14 games on the year, he managed eight tackles (six solo), three sacks and a forced fumble.

    Edwards finished with one solo tackle and a sack in the Saints' 34-31 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Edwards recorded his first sack of the year in Sunday's victory, accounting for one of four New Orleans sacks on Kyle Allen. With just two tackles (one solo) to his credit on the season, Edwards is off the fantasy radar.
