GUS EDWARDS NEWS

Not playing against Saints Edwards won't play in Saturday's preseason game against New Orleans, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Edwards' absence might mean extra work for J.K. Dobbins, but it's more likely the Ravens will keep their depth backs busy in the preseason opener. Apart from a 10-day stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list at the beginning of training camp, there hasn't been any report of Edwards missing practice time with an injury or illness. He may just be working his way back into game shape, still catching up with teammates that didn't miss the early portion of camp.

J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards Are Both First-Teamers for Ravens J.K. Dobbins isn’t the only Ravens running back with big goals this season. Gus Edwards said he wants to roll for 1,000 rushing yards.

Co-starter for preseason opener Edwards is listed as a co-starter on Baltimore's depth chart for the preseason opener.

Impact J.K. Dobbins has been expected to be the leader of the backfield this season but Edwards carries enough cachet to warrant a significant role as well. Edwards -- who signed a two-year, $10 million extension this offseason -- has averaged a strong 5.2 YPC over 414 career carries in three seasons and he is particularly effective in short-yardage situations with his ability to gain positive yardage at an 86.8 percent clip. Even if Dobbins is the snap count leader, Edwards projects to see plenty of work as well.

Back on practice field The Ravens activated Edwards from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Edwards tested positive for COVID-19 on July 27 and has spent the time since progressing through the league's related protocols, so Friday's session will mark his first on-field activity of training camp. The 26-year-old running back, who inked a two-year extension with the Ravens back in June, can resume operating as the team's No. 2 running back behind J.K. Dobbins.

Out 10 days on COVID-19 list Edwards tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss the first 10 days of training camp, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact If he doesn't have symptoms, Edwards could still practice before Baltimore's preseason opener Aug. 14 against the Saints. He signed a two-year, $10 million extension in June, and appears locked in as the team's No. 2 running back behind 2020 second-round pick J.K. Dobbins. With Edwards now temporarily unavailable, Justice Hill figures to step into that No. 2 role for the first couple weeks of camp.

Agrees to two-year extension Edwards and the Ravens agreed to a two-year, $10 million contract extension Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Edwards received a restricted free-agent tender from the Ravens in mid-March and now has extended his stay in Baltimore through the 2023 season. Even so, Edwards is likely set to serve as the No. 2 back in Baltimore's backfield behind second-year rusher J.K. Dobbins, who could be in line for a slightly larger share of the work in his second professional season.

Gets RFA tender The Ravens gave Edwards a restricted free agent tender Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact General manager Eric DeCosta hinted at the transaction earlier in the week, but the team still hasn't specified which level of RFA tender Edwards will get. In the likely event that Edwards gets a second-round designation, he'll earn a $3.38 million salary in 2021, while the Ravens get the right of first refusal on any offer sheet. He's one of four backs on Baltimore's offseason roster, joined by J.K. Dobbins, Justice Hill and Ty'Son Williams.
