Accepts reduced salary Edwards and the Ravens have agreed to a reworked contract that reduces his 2023 salary by about $1 million but gives him the opportunity to earn the money back via incentives, Jere...

Impact With his base salary dropping from $4.38 million to less than $3.5 million, Edwards likely will avoid being a cap casualty and play at least one more season for the only NFL team he's known. Injuries limited him to nine games last year after he missed all of 2021 with an ACL tear, but Edwards remained efficient on a per-carry basis with just a hair under 5.0 YPC (4.98). He turns 28 in April and has a good chance to keep the No. 2 RB job behind J.K. Dobbins, who also missed 2021 with an ACL tear and ultimately played fewer than 10 games in 2022.

Gets 12 carries in playoff loss Edwards rushed 12 times for 39 yards and caught his only target for 13 yards in Sunday's 24-17 wild-card round loss to the Bengals.

Impact Edwards rotated with J.K. Dobbins, but the latter was far more effective on a per-touch basis, totaling 105 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 17 touches. The Ravens were eliminated from the playoffs with this loss. Edwards has one more year left on his contract after rushing for 433 yards and three touchdowns in nine regular-season appearances.

Good to go Sunday Edwards (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's playoff opener against the Bengals.

Impact Edwards, who previously relayed that he had cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, was listed as a full practice participant Friday, paving the way for him to remain part of the Ravens' backfield mix this weekend. With top signal caller Lamar Jackson (knee) still out and Tyler Huntley (shoulder, questionable) a candidate to draw the start at QB on Sunday, the Ravens could lean heavily on their ground game versus Cincinnati. In that context, Edwards figures to log complementary touches behind J.K. Dobbins, with Justice Hill and/or Kenyan Drake in reserve.

Clears concussion protocol Edwards (head) has cleared concussion protocol and expects to play in Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Impact With Lamar Jackson (knee) out and Tyler Huntley (shoulder) a game-time decision, the Ravens will continue to lean on their rushing attack and defense. It's a tall task against the Bengals, but Edwards should provide some additional punch behind lead back J.K. Dobbins.

Returns to limited practice Edwards (concussion) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday.

Impact Edwards, who landed in the NFL's concussion protocol following Week 18 action, didn't practice Wednesday, but the running back's return in a limited capacity Thursday offers hope that he could gain clearance for Sunday night's playoff game against the Bengals. However, unless Edwards practices fully Friday, he figures to head into the weekend with an official injury designation.

Returns to practice Thursday Edwards (concussion) was present at practice Thursday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Edwards departed the Ravens' Week 18 loss in Cincinnati with a head injury and eventually was diagnosed with a concussion. After sitting out Wednesday's session, he was back on the field one day later wearing a non-contact jersey and a protective Guardian Cap, per Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun. While Edwards has made some progress through the concussion protocol, he seems destined to go down as a limited participant Thursday.

Not practicing Edwards (concussion) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Impact Edwards suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Bengals and now is in danger of missing a wild-card round matchup with the same team seven days later. The Ravens may also be missing quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) and perhaps even backup Tyler Huntley (shoulder), potentially setting up J.K. Dobbins to be the focal point of an undermanned offense.

In concussion protocol Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Edwards (head) is in the concussion protocol, Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Banner reports.

Impact Edwards exited the regular-season finale against the Bengals due to a head injury, and he appears to have been concussed on the play. He will have to pass the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to suit up for the rematch in the wild-card round. J.K. Dobbins is expected to lead Baltimore's backfield in the playoffs, but more touches could be available for Kenyan Drake or Justice Hill if Edwards is unable to play.

Exits Sunday's game Edwards is being evaluated for a possible head injury during Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Heightened role awaits Edwards is expected to be thrust into a larger role in the Baltimore backfield Sunday against the Bengals with J.K. Dobbins expected to be rested for the Week 18 contest, Jamison H...

Impact Even though it has the chance to host a playoff game next week with a win over Cincinnati, a Chargers loss to the Broncos and a favorable coin flip, Baltimore won't risk exposing Dobbins, its top running back, to a potential injury in advance of the postseason. With Dobbins having taken the lead role out of the backfield since being activated from injured reserve Week 14, Edwards has faded from the game plan. He saw a season-low three carries in last week's loss to the Steelers, with head coach John Harbaugh acknowledging afterward that he had "no excuse" for Edwards' reduced role. Dobbins' absence for Week 18 will allow Harbaugh to get Edwards more involved as the Ravens' top option on the ground, while Justice Hill and Kenyan Drake likely handle most of the passing-down and change-of-pace work.

Disappears from game plan Edwards had three carries for two yards in the Week 17 loss to the Steelers.

Impact After turning in his best game of the season -- 11 carries for 99 yards -- in Week 16, Edwards was barely involved against Pittsburgh. Edwards saw his snap count drop from 21 to nine as well. Edwards has as many games with single-digit carries (three) as he does games with double-digit carries (three) since returning from a hamstring injury in Week 12. His workload continues to be volatile, but it's unlikely his usage will be this low again Sunday against the Bengals.

Almost reaches century mark Edwards carried the ball 11 times for 99 yards in Saturday's 17-9 win over the Falcons.

Impact J.K. Dobbins saw one more carry than Edwards, but the latter was by far the more productive back as he set a new season high in rushing yards. In three games since Dobbins rejoined the lineup, Edwards has seen double-digit touches twice, and with the Ravens having locked up a playoff spot Saturday, the duo will likely remain in a timeshare for the final two games of the regular season.
