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

Impact Edwards joined up with 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 2000 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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, putting his availability for the Bears' Week 16 matchup with the Seahawks in question.

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

Impact 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 the Bears' Week 15 game against the Vikings next Monday.

Will play Sunday Edwards (ribs) is active Sunday against the Packers.

Impact 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 8 games.

DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Logs full practice Edwards (ribs) logged a full practice Thursday.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.
