News

  • No snaps on offense Sunday

    Edmonds played no offensive snaps and 13 plays on special teams during Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Edmonds' role was far different than what it was prior to his three-game absence. primarily due to the presence of Kenyan Drake, who paced Cardinals running backs with 51 (of 64) snaps on offense and 15 touches. Meanwhile, David Johnson picked up the scraps (15 snaps and six touches). Without an injury or downturn in play from Drake or Johnson, Edmonds doesn't hold much sway in Arizona's offense.

  • Avoids Week 13 designation

    Edmonds (hamstring) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Rams, Mike Jurecki of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Cardinals listed Edmonds as a full participant in practice Friday for the second straight day, clearing the way for him to return to game action after a four-week hiatus. He'll rejoin an Arizona backfield that looks quite different from the last time he was healthy, as trade-deadline pickup Kenyan Drake has since taken over as the lead option. With Drake expected to garner the starting nod again in Week 13, Edmonds and David Johnson will vie for the primary backup duties.

  • Elevates to full participant

    Edmonds (hamstring) was a full practice participant Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Edmonds may have taken the final step in his recovery from a hamstring injury with his elevation to all activity. If he puts and end to a three-game absence Sunday against the Rams, he'll rejoin a backfield currently led by Kenyan Drake. Since Drake arrived in Arizona from Miami in Week 9, he's dominated the reps out of the backfield, seeing 57 touches to David Johnson's six while Edmonds was absent.

  • Limited off bye week

    Edmonds (hamstring) was limited at Wednesday's walk-through, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Coming off a Week 12 bye, Edmonds and defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard (foot) are the only Cardinals with injuries that are impacting their practice reps. While there's an expectation Edmonds returns from a three-game absence Sunday against the Rams, the state of the backfield is far different than his last appearance Week 8. Kenyan Drake, formerly of the Dolphins, has overtaken David Johnson for the top job, leaving nothing but scraps behind for the remaining backs. It remains to be seen if…read more

  • Likely to return Week 13

    Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that he expects Edmonds (hamstring) to play in the Cardinals' Week 13 matchup with the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After missing the Cardinals' previous three contests, Edmunds appears at or near full health coming out of the team's Week 12 bye. He was spotted on the field Monday in the Cardinals' informal practice session, but the extent of his activity won't be known until Arizona reveals its first injury report of Week 13 on Wednesday. Assuming Kingsbury's prediction comes to pass, Edmonds will rejoin a crowded backfield that now counts Kenyan Drake as its lead option. Prior to getting hurt Week 8,…read more

  • Spotted at practice Monday

    Edmonds (hamstring) was present for practice Monday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Edmonds no doubt benefited from the Cardinals' Week 12 bye and seems to be trending in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Rams approaches. That said, even if Edmonds is available this weekend, what sort of role he might have is cloudy, with Kenyan Drake and David Johnson also in the team's backfield mix.

  • Not playing Sunday

    Coach Kliff Kingsbury said that Edmonds (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Edmonds' absence for a third consecutive game paves the way for the tandem of Kenyan Drake and David Johnson to lead the backfield in Week 11. Per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com, Kingsbury declined to name a starter among the two healthy backs, instead noting that he would take a "committee" approach with Drake and Johnson, who are both expected to have packages on offense. The Cardinals' muddled backfield will become even cloudier if Edmonds is ready to play again coming out of Arizona's Week 12…read more

  • Remains sidelined at practice

    Edmonds (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Yet again, Edmonds was listed as a DNP on the team's injury report, but in the part of Thursday's session open to the media, Edmonds was spotted working on the side, per Urban. Until he takes part in practice, Edmonds won't be a candidate to return to action, leaving him in danger of missing his third consecutive game Sunday in San Francisco. In that reality, Kenyan Drake and David Johnson will share the team's Week 11 backfield duties.

  • Held out Wednesday

    Edmonds (hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Edmonds has made negligible progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury, missing every practice and two games since picking up the issue Week 8. With Kenyan Drake and David Johnson in their backfield, the Cardinals don't need to rush Edmonds through his rehab. Plus, the team has a bye after Sunday's game at Arizona, so it wouldn't surprise if Edmonds misses a third consecutive contest this weekend.

  • Out another week

    Edmonds (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Edmonds was never expected to play and still hasn't returned to practice. It's unclear if he'll be a significant part of the backfield even after he gets healthy, considering the Cardinals also have David Johnson and Kenyan Drake. The team faces the 49ers in Week 11, followed by a bye in Week 12.

  • Misses another practice

    Edmonds (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: With David Johnson (ankle) back to full health and Kenyan Drake in the fold, the Cardinals can opt for caution with Edmonds, who hasn't practiced since Oct. 25. If Edmonds misses a second consecutive contest Sunday at Tampa Bay, the aforementioned duo will be the team's top two running backs in some order with Zach Zenner in reserve.

  • No practice Wednesday

    Edmonds (hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, David Johnson practiced fully and noted afterward he's "definitely playing" Sunday at Tampa Bay, per Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site. With Johnson past his ankle injury and Kenyan Drake coming off a dynamic debut with the team, the Cardinals can proceed cautiously with Edmonds. Still, a decision on Edmonds' Week 10 availability may not come until the end of the week.

  • Not expected back Week 10

    Edmonds (hamstring) isn't expected to return for Week 10 against Tampa Bay, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: David Johnson (ankle) seems to be closer to making his return, and Kenyan Drake went off for 162 scrimmage yards in Thursday's 28-25 loss to the 49ers. Edmonds may still have a role in the backfield once he's healthy, but it sounds like that won't happen any sooner than Week 11, or perhaps after the Cardinals' Week 12 bye.

  • Won't play Thursday

    Edmonds (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the 49ers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Edmonds is nursing a hamstring injury that could sideline him for multiple weeks, so his absence Thursday doesn't come as much of a surprise. With the status of No. 1 running back David Johnson (ankle) still up in the air, Arizona's backfield may consist of Kenyan Drake, Zach Zenner and Alfred Morris in Week 9.

  • Labeled doubtful by coach

    Coach Kliff Kingsbury characterized Edmonds (hamstring) as doubtful for Thursday's game against the 49ers, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The news doesn't come as a major surprise after Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported earlier Monday that Edmonds would likely miss a few weeks as a result of the hamstring strain he sustained in Sunday's loss to the Saints. Meanwhile, Kingsbury called David Johnson (ankle) day-to-day, though he too will have a tough time gaining clearance on a short week. In response to injuries to their top two backs, the Cardinals made a deal with the Dolphins on Monday to acquire Kenyan Drake, who could…read more

  • Likely out a few weeks

    Edmonds is expected to miss a few weeks due to a strained hamstring, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Cardinals' backfield has been decimated by injuries of late, as Edmonds got an opportunity to be the top option the past two games due to David Johnson's lingering ankle issue. Edmonds and Johnson are both expected to be sidelined Thursday against the 49ers, which explains why the team traded for Kenyan Drake on Monday. As long as the deal goes through, Drake seems like a decent bet to start this week, though Zach Zenner and Alfred Morris also are in the mix for RB reps.

  • May miss some time

    Coach Kliff Kingsbury said there's "definitely concern" Edmonds (hamstring) won't be active Thursday against the 49ers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Prior to Sunday's game in New Orleans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported David Johnson (ankle) was in line to sit out both Weeks 8 and 9. However, Edmonds was knocked out with a hamstring injury, so it stands to reason the Cardinals will reevaluate that stance if Edmonds is in worse shape than Johnson. Behind the pair, Zach Zenner (active Sunday) and Alfred Morris (inactive) are the healthy running backs on the Cardinals' 53-man roster.

    Edmonds is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints due to a hamstring injury, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Edmonds left the field late in the third quarter. With David Johnson (ankle) inactive, the newly signed Zach Zenner will serve as Arizona's only available running back if Edmonds is unable to return. Before leaving Sunday's contest, Edmond rushed seven times for eight yards.

    Edmonds will start Sunday's game in New Orleans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Edmonds unexpectedly fueled the Cardinals offense Week 7, when David Johnson (ankle) was active but played just three early offensive snaps before shutting it down for the day. With a 94 percent share of those plays, Edmonds ran over and through the Giants to the tune of 29 touches for 150 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns. While he'll find the going tougher against the Saints' ninth-ranked run defense, a workload similar to last Sunday should give Edmonds plenty of opportunity to…read more

  • Likely to head backfield Sunday

    Edmonds is expected to serve as the Cardinals' feature back in Sunday's game against the Saints with David Johnson (ankle) listed as questionable but not expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Johnson was active for last week's win over the Giants but played only three snaps on account of the injury, opening the way for Edmonds (27 carries for 126 yards and three touchdowns, two catches for 24 yards) to turn in a breakout performance. While Johnson's likely absence paves the way for Edmonds to lead the Cardinals' ground game again this weekend, the second-year back will likely struggle to replicate the volume he received in Week 7 due to the tough road matchup against a favored…read more

  • Could get another start

    Edmonds could get the start Sunday in New Orleans, with fellow running back David Johnson (ankle) viewed as a game-time decision, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Johnson technically was active for last week's 27-21 win over the Giants, but he was limited to three snaps while Edmonds racked up 150 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns. With backfield reinforcements now on hand in the form of Alfred Morris and Zach Zenner, the Cardinals can put Johnson on their inactive list if he doesn't look healthy before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. The situation will be far more difficult to decipher if Johnson is declared active.

  • Strikes thrice in win

    Edmonds ran for 126 yards and three touchdowns on 27 carries and added 24 yards on two catches during Sunday's 27-21 win over the Giants. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said after the game that David Johnson, who finished with one carry, was being used as needed, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Fresh off a Giants fumble, Edmonds took an inside handoff and weaved through the defense for a 22-yard score, his third touchdown of the game and fifth in the last three contests. Edmonds, who was scantly used as a rookie, has seen an uptick in usage in recent weeks as David Johnson deals with an ankle injury. That culminated in Sunday's 29-touch outing, which nearly tripled his past career high in usage. While a healthy Johnson deserves the lion's share of touches, Edmonds looks like he's done…read more

  • Could get Week 7 start

    Edmonds is the only healthy running back on the Cardinals' roster, with David Johnson (ankle) listed as questionable and D.J. Foster (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Johnson is considered a game-time decision, with coach Kliff Kingsbury sounding less than optimistic when he spoke to the media Friday afternoon. If Johnson lands on the inactive list before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Edmonds likely will handle a three-down role in a fast-paced offense that seemed to hit its stride the past couple weeks. The Cardinals would need to sign another running back in that scenario, potentially calling up Justin Davis from the practice squad. Meanwhile, the Giants…read more

  • Finds end zone again

    Edmonds carried the ball five times for 34 yards and caught both his targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-33 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Touches were limited for the Cardinals' No. 2 RB with David Johnson handling his usual workload despite the sore back he was dealing with during the week, but Edmonds once again made the most of his opportunities and found the end zone for the second straight week. The second-year player is proving to be a big-play option for Kyler Murray, but unless Johnson is forced to miss time, Edmonds' fantasy ceiling will be capped.

  • To remain backup RB

    Edmonds is expected to remain the Cardinals' No. 2 running back with David Johnson (back) active for Sunday's game versus the Falcons.

    Analysis: Edmonds totaled just eight touches through the first three weeks of the season, but injuries to the receiving corps and David Johnson's bad back allowed the second-year pro to notch 17 the last two games. There's a chance Johnson yields more work to Edmonds than normal Sunday, which could yield fruit as he's averaged 6.7 yards per carry and hauled in six of nine targets in 2019.

  • Ready for more work if it comes

    Edmonds is preparing for the possibility of an expanded workload in Sunday's game against Atlanta, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: David Johnson (back) expects to play after he returned to practice Friday as a limited participant, but coach Kliff Kingsbury is treating it as a game-time decision, and it's possible the running back will have his workload reduced if he's active for the game. Edmonds has done well with limited touches this season, averaging 6.7 yards on 19 carries and 7.2 yards on six receptions. His 37-yard touchdown run last week in Cincinnati helped the Cardinals secure their first win under Kingsbury.

  • Scores big TD in win

    Edmonds carried the ball eight times for 68 yards and a touchdown while catching three of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Arizona's No. 2 RB came into the game with only 14 touches through the first four games, but he was a much bigger part of the game plan with Christian Kirk (ankle) and Damiere Byrd (hamstring) both sidelined, and Edmonds capitalized with a 37-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. Despite the explosive performance, he remains firmly behind David Johnson on the depth chart and could see his touches evaporate once the wide receiving corps gets healthier.

  • Highly efficient in Week 4 defeat

    Edmonds accounted for 37 rushing yards on six attempts during Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: The second-year back benefited from his greatest workload of the season in this one, as he had garnered five carries on 42 offensive snaps coming into Week 4. Edmonds has been much-improved in a limited sample size compared to his rookie campaign of 2018, averaging 5.4 yards per carry thus far this season after logging 3.5 yards per attempt last year. Week 5 presents an encouraging matchup as Edmonds and the Cardinals' backfield prepare to face a Bengals defense that has allowed nearly 128…read more

  • Tallies 25 yards from scrimmage

    Edmonds totaled three carries for 15 yards and gathered in one of two passes for 10 yards during Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: Edmonds' four touches and 25 yards from scrimmage were both season-high marks, but they paled in comparison to David Johnson's 17 and 65, respectively. Their individual shares of the offensive snaps also reinforce the running back pecking order in Arizona: 65 of 75 for Johnson versus just nine for Edmonds. There doesn't seem to be much impetus to get Edmonds more involved, despite the left wrist issue that affected Johnson in Week 2.

  • Manages 17 yards from scrimmage

    Edmonds notched one carry for two yards and reeled in both targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss in Baltimore.

    Analysis: Edmonds' usage increased significantly from the season opener to this contest, primarily due to a left wrist injury suffered by David Johnson. Johnson missed one series entirely in the first half and shared reps with Edmonds upon his return, resulting in the latter boosting his offensive snap share from 11 percent Week 1 to 40 percent Sunday. Edmonds has yet to show much in 18 games as a pro, but a larger workload could be on the horizon if Johnson's wrist issue lingers.

  • Gains five yards in opener

    Edmonds had a five-yard carry during Sunday's 27-27 tie with Detroit. He was targeted once, but was unable to make the catch.

    Analysis: One carry and one target is not a great start and the timing of both paint an even less rosy picture. Edmonds' lone target came on a short pass facing third and long late in the second quarter. His lone carry was on the final play of the first half, allowing the clock to run out. Edmonds didn't get a lot of work as David Johnson's backup in 2018, and now the Cardinals are running their offense with more four-receiver sets and a quarterback who is himself a threat to run the ball. Edmonds is…read more

  • Nabs two catches Thursday

    Edmonds had two catches for 31 yards during Thursday's preseason loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Working with the second-team offense yet again, Edmonds hauled in those passes from backup QB Brett Hundley, both of them for first-down gains. Meanwhile, Edmonds' sole carry was negated by a penalty. With David Johnson scooping up the vast majority of backfield reps, Edmonds will have a difficult time being a regular meaningful contributor, but the coaching staff is making a concerted effort to ensure he'll get reps weekly during the regular season. At the very least, Edmonds' ability as a…read more

  • Minimal work in preseason opener

    Edmonds rushed twice for four yards in the Cardinals' 17-13 preseason win over the Chargers on Thursday.

    Analysis: Despite the fact he'd been working with the first team the majority of training camp thus far, Edmonds saw minimal action Thursday. The 2018 fourth-round pick came in on the Cardinals' second series after David Johnson started the contest, but he was unable to find much running room on his pair of carries. Edmonds enjoyed a fairly solid rookie season considering the sub-par offensive cast around him, as he garnered 311 total yards from scrimmage on 80 total touches.

  • Increasing profile in practice

    Edmonds has worked with the first-team offense during the first 10 days of training camp, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Edmonds wasn't put in a position to succeed as a rookie, working behind David Johnson in an inert offensive scheme. The results were underwhelming (five touches per game) but encouraging (87 percent catch rate) at the same time. During his first full offseason as a pro, the 2018 fourth-round pick has operated in two-back sets alongside Johnson and also lined up as the sole RB when Johnson moved to outside receiver. There's no telling if Edmonds will experience an uptick in his offensive snap…read more

  • Expects more frequent role in 2019

    Edmonds is confident he'll have a regular role in the Cardinals offense in his second season, Kyle Odegard of the team's official site reports. "Me and Dave are definitely pushing for (two-back looks)," Edmonds said during OTAs. "It opens up his dynamic ability and mine as well. Whether it's two-back sets or Dave in the slot, me in the slot, it doesn't really matter."

    Analysis: Edmonds is referencing backfield mate and 2016 All-Pro David Johnson, who has averaged 94.5 yards from scrimmage per game and scored 42 offensive touchdowns in 49 regular-season appearances. Clearly a bell cow, Johnson's noted ability as a receiver allows him to line up just about anywhere in the formation, whether its out of the backfield, in the slot or outside. This versatility should give Edmonds, a 2018 fourth-round pick, more chances to get on the field this fall. In a dreadful offense…read more

  • Notches 311 scrimmage yards

    Edmonds recorded 60 carries for 208 yards and two touchdowns while hauling in 20 of his 23 targets for 103 yards across 16 games during the 2018 campaign.

    Analysis: The Cardinals already had an established lead back (David Johnson) prior to the 2018 draft, but it didn't stop general manager Steve Keim from selecting Edmonds in the fourth round with the 134th overall pick. Outside of a two-score performance in a Week 13 upset win over Green Bay, Edmonds was unable to make much of a dent in Johnson's workload. A stagnant offensive scheme partly was to blame, but Edmonds earned double-digit touches just once as a rookie (Week 15 in Atlanta). With Johnson…read more

  • Garners five touches in loss

    Edmonds ran four times for 20 yards and added a one-yard reception during Sunday's 31-9 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Edmonds has now recorded at least five touches in five of his last six games, averaging a respectable 4.2 yards per carry during that span. A two-touchdown explosion in Week 13 aside, the rookie has been quiet for much of the season, a byproduct of playing on a woeful offense behind a quality do-it-all back in David Johnson.

  • Tallies 44 yards in ugly loss

    Edmonds ran for 22 yards on eight carries and added 22 yards on two catches during Sunday's 40-14 loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: Week 13's two-touchdown game in which Arizona shocked Green Bay appears to have been a blip. Arizona has struggled mightily over the past two weeks with Edmonds not providing much production as David Johnson's clear backup. The rookie back did manage to record double-digit touches for the first time this season, but four of those came in the fourth quarter with the Cardinals down by multiple scores. Maybe, with the season and -- potentially -- this regime on its last legs, Arizona will try to…read more

  • Notches 14 yards rushing

    Edmonds had three carries for 14 yards and returned one kickoff for 17 yards during Sunday's 17-3 defeat to the Lions.

    Analysis: Acting as the clear No. 2 running back behind David Johnson, Edmonds has been afforded a shade over five touches per game this season. However, outside of a Week 13 outburst in which he totaled 66 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns, Edmonds has averaged a dismal 2.7 YPC with no end-zone visits. In reality, the aforementioned outing was an aberration, meaning anyone who took a chance on the rookie should get used to performances like Sunday's.

  • Vultures two touchdowns in win

    Edmonds rushed five times for 53 yards and two touchdowns while hauling in both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Packers.

    Analysis: Edwards only got five carries to David Johnson's 20, but the rookie scored both of Arizona's touchdowns, much to the chagrin of the embattled early pick's owners. In addition to his 6-yard score in the second quarter and 8-yard touchdown in the third, Edwards also peeled off a 29-yard run. Johnson is still Arizona's primary running back -- as evidenced by the workload distribution -- but Edmonds may have earned himself a few more carries in Week 14 against the Lions and beyond.

  • Ineffective in loss

    Edmonds ran five times for zero yards during Sunday's 45-10 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Edmonds also returned one kick for 13 yards. The rookie fourth-round pick's five carries tied a season high, but he was unable to make any sort of impact with his touches against the Chargers' revitalized run defense. He'll look to bounce back against the Packers in Week 13.

  • Records five carries

    Edmonds ran for 17 yards on five carries during Sunday's 23-21 loss to Oakland.

    Analysis: The five carries tied a season high for Edmonds, though he struggled to make much of them against a Raiders run defense that is among the worst in the NFL. Edmonds, after catching nine passes in his first two games, has been quiet in the passing game as of late, but he gets a somewhat favorable matchup on the ground Sunday against a Chargers defense surrendering 4.6 yards per carry, placing them among the bottom half of the league.

  • Gets just two carries Week 10

    Edmonds notched two carries for seven yards during Sunday's 26-14 loss at Kansas City.

    Analysis: Yet again, Edmonds did little more than spell David Johnson, who accounted for 183 yards from scrimmage and both of the Cardinals' touchdowns on the afternoon. To make matters worse, Edmonds wasn't the most productive reserve running back. That honor went to T.J. Logan, who hauled in both of his targets for 14 yards on three offensive snaps. Sure, Edmonds handled 17 such snaps, but his outlook appears barren due to the amount of volume taken on by Johnson.
