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.

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

Posts career high in sacks Edwards tallied one tackle in Chicago's 35-16 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Impact 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.

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