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.

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.

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.
