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.
Impact 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.

Ready to rock Edwards (hamstring) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Cardinals.
Impact After sitting out last week's win over the Saints, Edwards will return to the lineup. The second-year pro is expected to start at middle linebacker. He'll be responsible for containing Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, along with running backs Kenyan Drake and Chase Edmonds. Over his past five games, Edwards has registered 41 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble.

Limited to start week Edwards (hamstring) was limited in practice Wednesday.
Impact Edwards has battled a hamstring injury for much of the season, missing four games as a result, including last week's win over the Saints. The starting middle linebacker's ability, or lack thereof, to raise his practice participation level as the week progresses should help dictate whether Edwards will suit up Sunday against the Cardinals.

Ruled out for Week 14 Edwards (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Saints.

Sits out practice Wednesday Edwards (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Impact 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.

Impact 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.

The Wisconsin product produced career-high 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.
Impact 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.
Impact 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.
Impact 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.
Impact 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 shakes out, but it's worth keeping an eye on Edwards in IDP formats, as he posted 15 tackles and a forced fumble through the first four games despite playing less than 50 percent of the defensive snaps in three of those outings.
