Clear starter at linebacker
Edwards and fellow free-agent signee Tremaine Edmunds are expected to be the anchors of the revamped Chicago linebacker group, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Bears added Edwards in free agency, signing him to a three-year contract. After recording a career-high 159 tackles with the Eagles last year as a middle linebacker, he's expected to move to the weak side, which could impact the high tackle total he had last year. He's still a potentially solid IDP option. but it may not be wise to chase last year's stats.

Joining Chicago
Edwards is set to sign a three-year contract with the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: An undrafted free agent in 2019, the Wisconsin product caught on with Philadelphia and made at least 12 starts each of the past three seasons, including all 17 games in 2022 en route to a career-high 159 tackles. A native of the Chicago area, Edwards mostly played middle linebacker for the Eagles but could slide over to the weak side for the Bears if they want to keep Jack Sanborn (ankle) in the middle after his solid showing as a rookie in 2022.

Leads team in tackles
Edwards finished the regular season with 159 tackles, including 99 solo tackles, and a pair of sacks.
Analysis: Edwards' tackle total led his team and tied him for seventh in the league. He improved on an already strong 2021 campaign in which he tied for 15th in the league with 130 tackles. Edwards will be a free agent after the season, and the Eagles would presumably love to have him back, though his strong back-to-back seasons mean he could be due for a big raise.

Nine tackles Week 15
Edwards recorded nine tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 25-20 win over the Bears.

Edwards is still far and away the Eagles' leading tackler this season with 124, and he is now seven stops shy of setting a new career high in this category. Edwards should have a very good chance to do just this while facing the Cowboy's prolific rushing offense Week 16.

Moderate outing in blowout win
Edwards tallied six tackles (two solo), including a tackle for loss, and one pass defended during Sunday's 48-22 win against the Giants.
Analysis: Edwards wound up playing a season-low 75 percent of the Eagles' defensive snaps, as the team went up 41-14 midway through the fourth quarter. The linebacker has now logged exactly six tackles during back-to-back blowout wins. Edwards played almost every defensive snap over the first 11 contests of the season, but it's possible he could see decreased playing time if the Eagles roll out to another easy win against Chicago in Week 15.

Six stops in SNF
Edwards recorded six tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 40-33 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Edwards tied his season low for tackles while playing every defensive snap for the first time since Week 1. However, the linebacker still tied safety Reed Blankenship for a team high in stops Week 12, as the Packers' offense ran just 49 plays against the Eagles. Edwards now has now eclipsed 100 tackles for the second season in a row, and he'll look to continue putting up prolific stats while likely playing a near every-down role against Tennessee next Sunday.

Analysis: Edwards notched his fifth double-digit tackle performance of the season. The middle linebacker also played a season-high 78 defensive snaps, as Philadelphia's defense was stuck on the field for numerous long drives due to the team's lack of complementary play on offense. Edwards now has 86 tackles (53 solo), two sacks and five passes defended over nine games this season and, barring injury, should easily log the most productive campaign of his career.

Analysis: Edwards notched a team-high six tackles and his second sack of the season, as Philadelphia's defense held Jacksonville to just 219 total yards over 46 offensive plays.

Edwards had seven tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 38-35 win over the Lions.
Analysis: The Eagles were gashed for 181 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, but Edwards made some key tackles to help stem the bleeding just enough for Philadelphia's offense to pick up the slack.

Edwards (forearm) is fully recovered from his forearm injury suffered in the Eagles' wild-card loss to the Buccaneers, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Edwards played a significant role on the Eagles' defense beginning in Week 9 last season, where he played at least 88 percent of the defensive snaps from that point on. Although Edwards is not expected to keep that prominent of a role, he should still be a main fixture of the Eagles' defense in 2022.

Takes significant step in 2021
Edwards (forearm) totaled 130 tackles (64 solo), a sack, an interception, a fumble recovery and five pass defenses across 16 games in 2021.
Analysis: Edwards sat out the Eagles' Week 18 matchup against Dallas because the team had clinched a playoff spot, and he was forced out of the wild-card loss to the Buccaneers due to a forearm injury. However, he topped 100 tackles for the first time in his career during his third professional season. Assuming his forearm injury doesn't significantly impact his availability ahead of the 2022 campaign, the 25-year-old once again should play a prominent role in Philadelphia's defense next year.

Analysis: Edwards started for the sixth time this season and led Philadelphia's linebackers by playing 41 of 62 defensive snaps. The 25-year-old had 32 tackles through seven games entering Sunday's contest, and he'll need to continue with that higher level of production to be an IDP option.

Takes step forward in Year 2
Edwards notched 70 tackles (37 solo), two sacks, one defended pass, one interception and two forced fumbles in 12 games in 2020.
Analysis: Edwards more than doubled his rookie totals despite playing in four less contests. The 24-year-old posted two double-digit tackle performances in 2020, giving him some upside in IDP fantasy formats, but usually his usage as a run stopper wasn't enough to make up for his lack of regular sacks or defensed passes.

Edwards (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Saints.
Analysis: Edwards has started at middle linebacker in every game he's played this season, but he's had trouble staying healthy, specifically in regard to his hamstring. The second-year player will miss his fourth game of the season as a result. Shaun Bradley is the likely replacement this week.

Sits out practice Wednesday
Edwards (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Edwards sat out three games earlier this season with a hamstring injury. It's unclear if his current injury is related, but he's on the wrong track to start the week. The Wisconsin product has cemented himself as the starting middle linebacker recently, and he may be unavailable for Sunday's matchup against the Saints. Shaun Bradley could bump into a starting role if that's the case.

Leaves Sunday's game
Edwards (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers.
Analysis: Edwards was initially listed as questionable to suit up Sunday due to a hamstring injury, so it's possible that he's aggravated the pre-existing issue. Shaun Bradley could now see increased opportunities on defense.

Practice reps capped
Edwards (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Edwards spent three games on injured reserve earlier this year with a hamstring injury before returning in Week 8. It's unclear if his current injury is related, but soft-tissue injuries are always a cause for concern. Duke Riley and Davion Taylor are candidates to fill in at middle linebacker if Edwards can't play against the Packers this Sunday.

Piles up 12 stops
Edwards made 12 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Edwards has suited up in two games since returning from a hamstring injury and has been outstanding, stacking up 15 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble. The coaching staff has made it clear that he's the starting middle linebacker moving forward, and he's proven to have a solid floor for IDP purposes.

Monster effort in return
Edwards recorded 13 tackles -- two for a loss -- a sack and a forced fumble in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Edwards missed the previous three games with a hamstring injury, but he returned to action and started at middle linebacker. The Wisconsin product produced career-highs in snap share (78 percent) and tackles, and he notched his first sack of the year. The 24-year-old has locked up the starting job moving forward, so he's worth keeping an eye on in IDP fantasy formats.

Joins active roster
Edwards (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: After missing three weeks due to a hamstring injury, the Eagles have announced the 24-year-old will play in Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Edwards should help improve what's been a mundane Eagles rush defense.

Expected to start
Edwards (hamstring) will likely be activated for Sunday's game against Dallas, Mike Kaye of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: Edwards should slot into Nate Gerry's spot in the lineup now that the latter has been placed on IR with an ankle injury. The 24-year-old Edwards has missed the last three weeks due to his own injury, but he has been productive when on the field and is now looking at a significant uptick in playing time.

Designated to return
Edwards (hamstring) returned to practice Monday, indicating the beginning of his 21-day window to be activated from IR.
Analysis: Philadelphia's run defense has underwhelmed this season, allowing 152 yards on the ground per game and 11 total touchdowns. Edwards is expected to return to a starting middle linebacker role as long as he makes it through the week without a setback, and he'll be counted on to help turn the defense around. Through the first four games of the year, Edwards played more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps just once but still managed to record 15 tackles and a forced fumble.

Expected to return Week 8
Edwards (hamstring) is on track to be activated from IR for the Week 8 matchup against Dallas, Mike Kaye of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: Edwards has spent the requisite amount of time on IR and is apparently back to full health. The second-year linebacker out of Wisconsin is expected to return to practice during the upcoming week and likely will be activated after a full week of practice without a setback. According to Kaye, the Eagles could make Edwards the starting middle linebacker, which would bump Duke Riley back to the outside and Alex Singleton to a reserve role. It remains to be seen if that's how the rotation actually…read more

Shifts to IR
Edwards (hamstring) will be out at least three weeks after being moved to injured reserve Thursday.
Analysis: Edwards started at middle linebacker for the Eagles Weeks 1 through 4, after starting just four times across 16 appearances for the team last year. He was forced to exit Sunday night's win against the 49ers, and Monday coach Doug Pederson hinted at the possibility that Edwards would miss multiple games. That suspicion has been confirmed with Philadelphia's latest move, thus elevating sixth-round rookie Shaun Bradley into a starting role.

Expected to miss time
Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Edwards (hamstring) likely will miss games, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Edwards exited this past Sunday's win over the 49ers with a hamstring injury and likely will sit out Week 5's matchup against the Steelers. The second-year pro has been a consistent contributor at middle linebacker this season, but Alex Singleton and Shaun Bradley will likely rotate in until Edwards returns.

Set for increased role?
Edwards is eyeing an increased role on defense heading into Year 2, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Edwards only handled 115 defensive snaps across 16 games as a rookie. Though he officially logged four starts, he never played more than 22 snaps on defense in a single contest. If the undrafted linebacker out of Wisconsin is able to take a step forward in his development heading into the second year of his career, the Eagles could see fit to rely on him to handle an expanded interior role. At the very least, Edwards' ability to contribute on both defense and special teams should secure him a…read more
