Joins Dolphins' active roster
Miami signed Edwards to the 53-man roster from Washington's practice squad Friday in preparation for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots.
Analysis: Edwards could get a chance to contribute out of the backfield behind Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon versus New England, with No. 1 RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) having missed three straight practices in preparation for Week 18 and considered a game-time decision. The undrafted rookie out of Michigan flashed during the preseason while with the Jets, but he couldn't stick with New York for the regular season.

Washington signed Edwards to the practice squad Wednesday, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.

Fails to make Jets roster
Edwards was waived Tuesday, Randy Lange and Eric Allen of the Jets' official site report.
Analysis: Edwards had a productive preseason, but the rookie out of Michigan failed to win a roster spot in a Jets backfield that consists of Breece Hall, Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis (ankle) and Kene Nwangwu heading into the regular season. Assuming Edwards passes through waivers unclaimed, he's likely to end up on the Jets' practice squad.

Analysis: Edwards didn't log a touch until halfway through the third quarter but played well once he got into the game. The rookie running back is a contender to land on the Jets' practice squad after signing with the team in April as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan, but he's unlikely to earn a roster spot over Breece Hall, Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis (ankle) or Kene Nwangwu (calf), the last two of whom got banged up Saturday with injuries that are expected to be minor.
