Limited to one carry in loss
Edmonds rushed once for 11 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 27-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: The reserve running back saw just five snaps on offense compared to 10 on special teams, underscoring how dominant a grip Rachaad White retains on the No. 1 role in Tampa Bay's backfield. Edmonds hasn't even been able to take advantage of the Buccaneers' frequent negative game scripts over their multi-week struggles, as White is a highly capable receiver in his own right and therefore often negates the need for Edmonds to be deployed on passing downs.

Garners 19 total yards in loss
Edmonds rushed four times for eight yards and brought in his only target for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Edmonds was the only back other than Rachaad White to log a carry for the Buccaneers but unsurprisingly found little running room. He was more successful on his one reception, but with just 14 snaps from scrimmage, the opportunities for him to make an impact were sparse, even with a game script favorable to his pass-catching prowess. Edmonds has logged 18 total touches in four games since returning from a four-game stint on injured reserve, but he remains off the radar in virtually all formats…read more

Logs five touches Sunday
Edmonds rushed four times for nine yards and brought in his only target for minus-2 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-6 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: Edmonds was the only other back besides Rachaad White to log a carry for the Buccaneers, although he was 16 rush attempts behind his backfield mate's tally. Edmonds has logged multiple rush attempts in each of his first three games following an IR stint due to a knee injury, but Sunday's four carries are his single-game high thus far in 2023.

Negative total yards in loss
Edmonds rushed three times for minus-5 yards and and secured his only target for minus-1 yard in the Buccaneers' 39-37 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Edmonds couldn't get anything going with his scant opportunities and logged one fewer carry than Ke'Shawn Vaughn, despite outpacing him by three snaps. Edmonds was still in on only eight offensive plays, however, and with Rachaad White a capable three-down back thanks to his outstanding pass-catching ability, the former's role is likely to remain modest for the time being.

Five touches in return
Edmonds (knee) rushed three times for five yards and brought in two of three targets for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 24-18 loss to the Bills on Thursday.
Analysis: Edmonds made his return from a four-game absence due to a knee injury and was very busy relative to opportunity. The versatile back logged only eight snaps from scrimmage, so in that context, his five touches were encouraging. Edmonds could continue to see his role expand in coming games, with his next opportunity coming in a Week 9 road matchup against the Texans.

Activated to roster
The Buccaneers activated Edmonds (knee) from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Edmonds was designated for return at the beginning of the week and listed as a full practice participant both Monday and Tuesday. He appears ready to play Thursday at Buffalo, though it isn't quite clear what his role will be given that starter Rachaad White has been better on passing downs than running downs and thus seems to have strengths that overlap with Edmonds'. Ke'Shawn Vaughn has been Tampa Bay's No. 2 back of late, mostly subbing in for White on early downs and taking a handful of…read more

Designated to return from IR
The Bucs designated Edmonds (knee) to return from injured reserve Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Edmonds went on injured reserve with a sprained MCL after Week 2 but has missed the required four games, and his designation to return opens his 21-day practice window. The 27-year-old hasn't been much of an on-field factor since leaving Arizona following the 2021 season. He recorded four carries for 20 yards and wasn't targeted in two games prior to being injured earlier this year. Edmonds may be on the cusp of returning to action Thursday in Buffalo after being listed as a full participant on…read more

Going to injured reserve
The Buccaneers placed Edmonds (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Edmonds exited this past Sunday's win over the Bears due to a knee injury and was ruled out after halftime. On Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Edmonds was slated for an MRI, specifically referring to his MCL. While the extent of the injury isn't clear, Edmonds will miss at least the next four games. The Buccaneers will continue to lean on Rachaad White out of their backfield, with Sean Tucker operating as the clear top backup.

Needs MRI
Edmonds will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of his MCL injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Edmonds was forced out of Sunday's win over the Bears, and it appears that the Buccaneers are concerned about him potentially having suffered a long-term injury. If Edmonds ends up having to miss time, it could pave the way for Ke'Shawn Vaughn to be active on game days behind Rachaad White and Sean Tucker.

Departs with knee injury
Edmonds exited Sunday's Week 2 contest against Chicago with a knee injury and is questionable to return.
Analysis: Edmonds hurt his knee during the first half. Prior to his departure, he rushed twice for 12 yards. If Edmonds is unable to return, Tampa Bay will be down to Rachaad White and Sean Tucker at running back.

Minor role in Week 1 win
Edmonds rushed twice for eight yards and wasn't targeted in the Buccaneers' 20-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Rachaad White and Sean Tucker handled the bulk of the Buccaneers' work in the ground game, with the former comfortably leading the way with 17 carries. That left Edmonds with a very modest touch count, and surprisingly, a total absence of targets. Offensive coordinator Dave Canales repeatedly made mention of Edmonds' diverse skill set in the ramp-up to the regular season, so the minor Week 1 role could prove to be an outlier as the season unfolds.

Clear of health concern
Edmonds (undisclosed) wasn't listed on the Buccaneers' first Week 1 injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Edmonds was held out of the Buccaneers' final preseason game with an unknown injury, but it won't affect his availability for Sunday's season opener at Minnesota. While the Buccaneers backfield is paced by a clear No. 1 option in Rachaad White, the breakdown of the reps behind him is up in the air. At the moment, Ke'Shawn Vaughn is away from the team for personal reasons, leaving undrafted rookie Sean Tucker as the sole competition for Edmonds.

In line for eclectic role
Edmonds (undisclosed) is viewed by the coaching staff as capable of handling multiple roles in the Buccaneers backfield, the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Edmonds is expected to be available for the Week 1 matchup against the Vikings despite dealing with an undisclosed injury late in preseason, and practice reports later this week figure to serve as confirmation of such. When Edmonds does get on the field, it seems likely he'll fill a versatile role that matches his diverse skill set.

Edmonds (undisclosed) was held out of practice Thursday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Edmonds' injury details are unclear, but it's expected he'll be ready for Week 1 against the Vikings. The veteran is expected to take over the passing down role from the departed Giovani Bernard this season and operate as the team's No. 2 running back behind Rachaad White.

Limited running room in opener
Edmonds rushed six times for 18 yards and brought in his only target for four yards in the Buccaneers' 27-17 preseason loss to the Steelers on Friday night.
Analysis: The veteran was the first back in with Rachaad White sitting out the contest, but as was the case for every Buccaneers rusher Friday, he found running room at a premium. Despite the quiet start to the exhibition slate, Edmonds is still projected to play a significant role in the scheme of new coordinator Dave Canales, who's talked up Edmonds' versatility throughout the offseason.

Listed as No. 2 running back
Edmonds is listed as the No. 2 running back on the first iteration of the Buccaneers' preseason depth chart, the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Edmonds may ultimately serve in more of a change-of-pace role behind top back Rachaad White and even potentially split out wide at times, while Ke'Shawn Vaughn could be the primary candidate to spell White on early downs. With that in mind, it's worth noting Edmonds has logged under 100 carries in four of his first five NFL seasons.

Earns high praise from coordinator
Edmonds, who signed with the Buccaneers this offseason, is envisioned as a multi-position asset by new offensive coordinator Dave Canales, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Edmonds has always been lauded for his speed and pass-catching ability, and Canales has certainly taken note of those attributes from his past experiences coaching against the sixth-year back. However, there's more to Edmonds' skill set, considering he's posted a 78.9 percent pass block win rate since 2018 and is also adept at playing special teams. Additionally, Canales, who refers to Edmonds as "lightning in a bottle" and a "really dangerous asset," also made mention of the fact the…read more

Gets chance in Tampa Bay
The Buccaneers are signing Edmonds to a one-year contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Edmonds is coming off a disappointing 2022 campaign, having suited up for eight games with the Dolphins and five games with the Broncos, but with just 245 rushing yards and two touchdowns (3.6 YPC) plus 16 catches for 157 yards and a receiving score. The 26-year-old did look better down the stretch in Denver, and from 2019-21 with Arizona he was one of the most efficient running back's in the NFL, so he's could be worth monitoring in his new landing spot.

Being let go by Broncos
The Broncos are slated to release Edmonds, Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report.
Analysis: Per Schefter, releasing Edmonds will free up $5.92 million in salary cap space for the Broncos. In 13 games (eight with Miami and five with Denver) this past season, Edmonds carried 68 times for 245 yards and two touchdowns while adding 16 catches for 157 yards and a receiving score. The 26-year-old will now look to catch on with another team in need of backfield help ahead of the 2023 NFL campaign.

Scores three touchdowns in 2022
Edmonds appeared in 13 games during the 2022 season, rushing 68 times for 245 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught 16 of 24 targets for 157 yards and one touchdown.
Analysis: Edmonds found a new home during the 2022 season after being traded from Miami to Denver on Nov. 1, a deal sending linebacker Bradley Chubb to the Dolphins. The veteran running back scored all three of his touchdowns while in Miami for the first eight weeks of the season. Following the trade, Edmonds appeared in just five games with the Broncos, rushing 26 times for 125 yards and catching six of seven targets for 61 yards.

Modest production in loss
Edmonds rushed seven times for 34 yards and caught all three of his targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Despite a relatively quiet fantasy day as the Broncos' No. 2 running back, Edmonds played 41 of Denver's 70 offensive snaps in the contest. Meanwhile, starter Latavius Murray played just one more snap than Edmonds. As the Broncos' disappointing season nears its end, it's possible the team wants to see more from its recently acquired veteran instead of relying too heavily on the 32-year-old Murray to close out the season. If a near-even split in playing time continues, Edmonds could have the…read more

Receives eight touches in return
Edmonds (ankle) was activated off injured reserve and gained 31 yards on six carries and 22 yards on two receptions in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Edmonds spent the minimum four weeks on injured reserve before being activated ahead of Sunday's tilt. The 26-year-old was mixed in behind starter Latavius Murray (8/41/0) and finished second in backfield touches ahead of Marlon Mack (2/17/0). Edmonds should continue to handle receiving duties while spelling Murray when the Broncos take on the Chiefs in Week 17.

Analysis: Edmonds, who last suited up for a game in Week 11, has bounced back from the high ankle sprain that landed him on IR and is slated to bolster the Broncos' backfield depth down the stretch after having returned to practice this past week. In his looming return, it remains to be seen how much work Edmonds sees in Week 16, but for now he figures to work alongside Marlon Mack behind Latavius Murray, assuming Murray -- who is listed as questionable with a foot injury -- plays Sunday, as he believes…read more

Denver designated Edmonds (ankle) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Edmonds, who last suited up Week 11, has been cleared to resume practicing Wednesday and is thus a candidate to be added back to the 53-man roster in advance of Sunday's game against the Rams. If that happens, Edmonds would bolster Denver's backfield depth down the stretch, while likely moving into a complementary role behind Latavius Murray. In this past weekend's win over the Cardinals, Murray carried 24 times for 130 yards and a touchdown.

On Monday, coach Nathaniel Hackett told Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com that Edmonds was slated to miss "a lot of time," which will be at least four games now that he resides on IR.

Coach Nathaniel Hackett noted Monday that Edmonds is in line to miss "a lot of time'" with a high right-ankle sprain, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It remains to be seen if Edmonds is headed to IR, but it sounds like he's going to miss multiple games. With Melvin Gordon no longer in the mix, Latavius Murray, Marlon Mack and Devine Ozigbo (currently on the practice squad) figure to lead the Broncos' rushing attack this coming Sunday against the Panthers.

Tending to high-ankle sprain
Edmonds suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Per Schefter, the injury is expected to sideline Edmonds for a couple weeks. If Edmonds heals quickly, he could see an expanded role behind Latavius Murray, as the Broncos waived fellow running back Melvin Gordon on Monday. Given that high-ankle sprains often require 4-to-6 weeks of recovery time, the possibility also exists that Edmonds may not heal up in time to make an impact before Denver's season ends.

Minimal involvement in loss
Edmonds rushed two times for nine yards and caught one of two targets for zero yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: In his debut with the Broncos, Edmonds played just 15 of Denver's 80 offensive snaps. The veteran played behind both Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray, as all three backs struggled to get much going on the ground. Any hope of the offense improving after the team's bye week was quickly diminished, as the team's only touchdown was on a busted coverage allowing Russell Wilson to connect with wide receiver Jalen Virgil.

On to Mile High
The Dolphins agreed Tuesday to trade Edmonds, a 2023 first-round pick and a 2024 fourth-rounder to the Broncos for pass rusher Bradley Chubb and a 2025 fifth-round selection, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: In the wake of Javonte Williams' season-ending ACL tear, Denver has operated a timeshare in its backfield, and Edmonds will provide another option alongside Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray. It's unclear what kind of role Edmonds can expect with his new team, but in five campaigns between Arizona and Miami, he's averaged 4.5 yards per carry, hauled in 76 percent of his 181 targets and scored 17 touchdowns in 65 games.

Unimpressive with four carries
Edmonds carried the ball four times for 14 yard during Sunday's 31-27 win over Detroit.
Analysis: Edmonds has now logged less than 4.0 yards per carry in seven of eight appearances this season, while Raheem Mostert (80 all-purpose yards versus the Lions) has emerged as the clear No. 1 option in Miami's backfield. Until such time as Edmonds shows some of the efficiency and versatility he flashed during his tenure with the Cardinals, his only fantasy value is as a backup option in case Mostert were to miss time.

Does little with seven carries
Edmonds rushed seven times for 17 yards and failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Edmonds' struggles continued as Raheem Mostert (20 touches for 106 combined yards and a score) keeps proving that he is the superior back in Miami. The 26-year-old received his second highest carry total this season, but he remained ineffective (2.4 YPC) on the ground while having no impact in the passing game. It is hard to recommend even rostering a player performing this poorly, but Edmonds could find himself back in the fantasy conversation quickly if the oft-injured Mostert goes down at…read more

Just four touches in loss
Edmonds had two carries for three yards and secured both of his targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: He was again overshadowed by Raheem Mostert, who had 14 carries for 49 yards and also saw two targets. Edmonds has now handled less than 50 percent of the offensive snaps in every contest since Week 1 and saw just a 39 percent load versus Minnesota. Until fantasy managers see proof that he has reclaimed a sizeable role in Miami's offense, he should be left on the bench or waiver wire in most formats.

Analysis: A week after the team's air attack took center stage, Edmonds recorded two of the Dolphins' three touchdowns with one- and three-yard runs in the first and fourth quarter, respectively. The veteran back has opened his Miami tenure with sub-par efficiency -- he's toughed out 79 yards on 23 carries -- but the pair of trips to the end zone naturally made his fantasy day Sunday.

Edmonds has five carries for 33 yards and secured one of three targets for eight yards during the Dolphins 42-38 win over the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: Edmonds saw six less carries than backfield mate Raheem Mostert, a significant change considering that he handled a lead role in Week 1. It's worth noting that Edmonds did play well against Baltimore outside of a dubious tripping penalty, and he had a 23-yard run with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter that proved key in securing Miami's comeback. That said, Mostert opened the game as the starter, indicating that his lead role was part of the game plan and not simply a matter of…read more

Works as lead back in Week 1
Edmonds rushed 12 times for 25 yards and caught all four of his targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 20-7 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Edmonds got 16 touches to Raheem Mostert's six, but neither new Dolphins running back found much running room against the stout New England front. While his yardage total was pedestrian, Edmonds' prominent usage in his Dolphins debut suggests better days are ahead, and one could come as soon as Week 2 against the Ravens.

Analysis: Fellow Miami backs Myles Gaskin (neck) and Salvon Ahmed (heel) also were limited participants, while oft-injured Raheem Mostert managed to duck the injury report after his lengthy offseason rehab. The Dolphins hadn't previously signaled that Edmonds was managing an injury at any point this summer, but it's still worth watching to see if he upgrades to full participation ahead of Sunday's matchup with New England.

Analysis: Edmonds made one appearance during exhibition season last Saturday against the Raiders, playing the first series and a portion of the second en route to three carries for three yards and two catches (on two targets) for 21 yards. On this occasion, he's the only Dolphins running back not suiting up, meaning position mates like Raheem Mostert, Sony Michel and Myles Gaskin may take the field Saturday.

Garners 24 total yards in loss
Edmonds rushed three times for three yards and brought in both targets for 21 yards in the Dolphins' 15-13 preseason loss to the Raiders on Saturday night.
Analysis: Edmonds started the game while Raheem Mostert (coach's decision) sat out, but the former was in for just the first series and part of the second before exiting. The speedy 26-year-old is expected to work in a fairly close tandem with Mostert to open the regular season and should have a solid role as a receiver given his pass-catching ability.

Not on pace to play Saturday
Edmonds isn't slated to play in Saturday's preseason game in Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Both Edmonds and Raheem Mostert will be unavailable in the Dolphins' preseason opener, joining starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle on the sideline. With Edmonds and Mostert out, the team's backfield will consist of Sony Michel, Myles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed, Gerrid Doaks and ZaQuandre White.

Backfield competition still ongoing
Coach Mike McDaniel said Sunday that the Dolphins' running back competition remains "fierce" and declined to name Edmonds, or any other player, the starter yet, David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
Analysis: McDaniel said he doesn't "want to limit an opportunity by having a preconceived notion," noting that a player like Raheem Mostert having familiarity with the scheme may not provide an advantage in the training camp competition. On the other hand, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports that McDaniel lauded Edmond's "cerebral approach," one which he called "unique" among Miami's backfield.

Favorite for lead role
Edmonds remains the favorite to handle the majority of touches among Miami's backfield, Mike Masala of USA Today reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins likely will work in Raheem Mostert (knee) and Sony Michel on a weekly basis, too, while Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed remain available as depth options. However, Edmonds' two-year, $12.1 million contract is far and away the largest monetary commitment given out by Miami within the running back room, and he boasts enough versatility to play all three downs. In fact, the 26-year-old's skill set and track record of efficiency makes him an ideal fit for coach Mike McDaniel's zone…read more

Gets competition for touches
Edmonds has been joined by Raheem Mostert (knee) atop Miami's backfield depth chart, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: Edmonds and Mostert, who is recovering from knee surgery but expected to be ready for Week 1, look set to helm the Dolphins' revamped rushing game. New coach Mike McDaniel helped craft a prolific zone rushing attack in San Francisco, a scheme which Mostert has already proven himself in and which Edmonds appears perfect for, but it's uncertain whether each player's workload will be consistent. If the Dolphins employ a committee approach, or ride the hot hand on a game-by-game basis, fantasy…read more

Signing with Dolphins
The Dolphins and Edmonds have agreed to terms on a two-year deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Per the report, Edmonds' deal is for $12.6 million and includes $6.1 million guaranteed. While working in a complementary role alongside James Conner with the Cardinals last season, Edmonds logged 116 carries for 592 yards and two TDs and added 43 catches for 311 yards in 12 games. With Miami, the 25-year-old has a chance to head his new team's backfield and thus appears poised to see an uptick in touches and, in turn, fantasy relevance in 2022.

Quiet end to campaign
Edmonds rushed eight times for 28 yards and failed to catch his only target in Monday night's 34-11 wild-card round loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Edmonds played despite dealing with rib and toe injuries recently, alternating time with fellow banged-up tailback James Conner (ribs) and Eno Benjamin. Although Edmonds led the team in rushes and yards on the ground, his totals were nothing special, and it was Conner who scored Arizona's lone touchdown with a two-yard rush during the third quarter. Despite missing five games, Edmonds was a strong complement to Conner during the regular season, posting career highs in carries (116) and rushing…read more

To vie with Conner for touches
Edmonds (ribs/toe) will be joined by James Conner (ribs) in the Cardinals backfield for Monday's wild-card game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: While Edmonds emerged from prep for this contest without a designation after being listed as limited, limited and full on practice reports, Conner was questionable after managing just one capped session Saturday. That activity was enough for Conner to get the all clear for Monday's game, but the breakdown of reps between himself and Edmonds is up in the air. In 10 games when both were available this season, Edmonds was a close second to Conner in terms of touches (135 versus 112). Having said…read more

Edmonds (ribs/toe) doesn't have a designation for Monday's wild-card game at the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After sitting out the Cardinals' Week 18 loss to the Seahawks due to rib and toe issues, Edmonds practiced Thursday through Saturday and even capped the week with a full session. Meanwhile, James Conner (ribs) and Jonathan Ward (knee) followed DNP/DNP/LP regimens and have been deemed questionable to suit up Monday.

Edmonds (ribs) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Though Edmonds wasn't able to take a step forward in terms of activity for the Cardinals' second practice of the week, he at least appears to be in a better spot than backfield mate James Conner (ribs), who was held out of a second straight session. Unless Conner shows tangible improvement at Saturday's practice, he'll be in jeopardy of missing Monday's wild-card game against the Rams.

Edmonds (ribs/toe) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: As expected, Edmonds was back on the field to begin the week of prep after missing the Cardinals' season finale against the Seahawks with a rib injury. He's now listed with a toe issue as well, but he at least managed some activity, which can't be said for either James Conner (ribs) or Jonathan Ward (knee).

Head coach Kliff Kingsbury expects Edmonds (ribs) to be tested at Thursday's practice, Dana Scott of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: Kingsbury put Edmonds, James Conner (ribs/heel) and Jonathan Ward (knee) in the same category Wednesday, labeling them all as day-to-day and suggesting they would at least try to practice Thursday. Ideally, the Cardinals want Edmonds and Conner in a timeshare, but they've only had one or the other available throughout most of the second half of the season. That was the case Week 18 against Seattle with Edmonds sidelined by the rib injury, only for Conner to depart in the fourth quarter with a…read more

Out for Week 18
Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that Edmonds (ribs) will not play Sunday against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: James Conner missed the past two games with a heel injury and may thus be limited if he makes it back for Sunday's. Eno Benjamin and Jonathan Ward are the backfield alternatives for an Arizona team that's playing for the win Week 18, hoping to avoid a slide from a top-three seed to a wild-card spot. Either way, Edmonds will try to make it back next weekend for the opening round of the tournament.

Meanwhile, James Conner (heel), who missed Arizona's previous two contests, suddenly appears to be the healthier of the two backs, as he managed limited participation at Wednesday's practice and was on the field again Thursday.

Edmonds was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to rib and toe injuries, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Edmonds has earned two straight starts in place of an injured James Conner (heel), combining for 47 touches for 209 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown. The elevated workload has left Edmonds compromised on the health front, however, while Conner managed a limited session to begin Week 18 prep.

Moderate production Sunday
Edmonds carried the ball 18 times for 53 yards and caught five of six targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Despite the fact he once again didn't have to share the backfield touches with James Conner (heel), Edmonds wasn't able to come close to matching the 127 scrimmage yards and a TD he put up against the Colts the week before. His workload, and his production, in Week 18 against the Seahawks will depend largely on whether Conner is able to return to the lineup.

Edmonds will be the Cardinals' primary running back for Sunday's game in Dallas with James Conner (heel) sidelined, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Taking on the mantle of unquestioned No.1 running back Week 16 versus the Colts with Conner not available for that contest, Edmonds handled 24 touches and turned them into 127 yards from scrimmage and one TD. Edmonds should be poised for a similar workload versus Dallas' 12th-ranked run defense (109.5 yards per game).

Cleared to play, Conner uncertain
Edmonds (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Dallas, while backfield mate James Conner (heel) is listed as questionable, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Conner returned to practice Friday in a limited capacity, hoping to gut it out after Edmonds erupted for 127 total yards on 92 percent snap share in last week's 22-16 loss to the Colts. It is possible Conner has a smaller-than-usual role even if he's active, but that'll be tough to count on for those with a tough lineup decision between Edmonds and another running back(s). Most of those decisions swing towards Edmonds if Conner is out again, while the matchup with Dallas starts to look awfully…read more

On the other hand, James Conner (heel) was listed as a non-participant on a fifth straight practice report and may be poised for a second consecutive absence Sunday in Dallas.

With James Conner (heel) out of the lineup entirely this past Saturday against the Colts, Edmonds took on a whopping 92 percent of snaps on his way to 24 touches for 127 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown.

Fruitful performance sans Conner
Edmonds tallied 16 carries for 56 yards and one touchdown and gathered in eight of nine targets for 71 yards during Saturday's 22-16 defeat to the Colts.
Analysis: With James Conner unable to play through a heel injury, Edmonds was thrust into a major role out of the Cardinals backfield, earning his highest touch count of the season. The result was Edmonds' third outing of the campaign with at least 100 yards from scrimmage, but it was his first since Week 4. Additionally, he visited the end zone for just the second time through 11 appearances. His week-to-week usage likely depends on the availability of Conner, but as long as the latter is banged up,…read more

Six touches in return from IR
Edmonds (ankle) rushed six times for 53 yards and failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 30-12 loss to Detroit.
Analysis: Edmonds was productive on a per-touch basis in his first action since Week 9, but neither he nor James Conner (70 scrimmage yards on 10 touches) were fed the ball much as the Cardinals surprisingly spent the entire game fruitlessly attempting to play catch-up. Conner thrived while Edmonds was out and will likely see the majority of touches in Week 16 against the Colts, but don't be too quick to write Edmonds off given his robust 5.9 yards per carry this season.

Now, after the fourth-year pro has a week of on-field reps under his belt, including running routes at Friday's session, he'll rejoin James Conner (ankle) at the top of the backfield pecking order.

Not activated for Monday
The Cardinals didn't activate Edmonds (ankle) off injured reserve, meaning he'll remain out for Monday's game against the Rams, Darren Uban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old unofficially was a game-time decision for Monday's contest and will end up missing his fourth consecutive game. Edmonds was designated to return from injured reserve Dec. 9, so there's still over two weeks remaining in his 21-day practice window during which he can be activated.

Because Edmonds currently is on injured reserve, the team doesn't have to release practice participation information, which makes it difficult to assess the likelihood of Edmonds returning for Monday's pivotal divisional matchup.

Head coach Kliff Kingsbury anticipates Edmonds (ankle) returning for a Week 14 matchup with the Rams on Dec. 13, Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: At that point, Edmonds will be five weeks removed from the initial injury, a high-ankle sprain he suffered on the first snap of a Week 9 loss to the 49ers. He then missed the Cardinals' following two games before their Week 12 bye, and he'll be out again Week 13 in Chicago, giving James Conner at least one more game in a dominant role. After that, it'll likely be back to a timeshare out of the backfield once Edmonds is deemed healthy.

Analysis: Edmonds suffered his injury early in Sunday's Week 9 win over the 49ers and is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks while he recovers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It appears likely that the 25-year-old will require a stint on injured reserve, and his absence should create more opportunities for James Conner and even Eno Benjamin.

He stayed in the contest and ended up with a 59 percent snap share and 10 touches. Meanwhile, backfield mate James Conner rang in with 37 and five, respectively.

Edmonds rushed seven times for 30 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of four targets for 39 yards in the Cardinals' 24-21 loss to the Packers on Thursday night.
Analysis: Edmonds and backfield mate James Conner both saw their rushing opportunities curtailed due to an unexpected game script that saw the Cardinals trail from the first quarter on. However, the fourth-year back still found a way to make an impact for fantasy managers with an 11-yard touchdown run in the first quarter that opened the scoring on the night.

Analysis: He was Arizona's leading rusher on the afternoon, although James Conner was also productive with 64 rushing yards and a TD.

Analysis: Edmonds continues to have his practice reps capped for a third week in a row. During his last two appearances, he tallied 10 carries for 61 yards and gathered in six of eight targets for 23 yards, and in Week 6 he managed just a 36 percent share of the Cardinals' offensive snaps. In the same time span, James Conner got the larger share of the work, turning 28 touches into 108 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown.

Logs season-low seven touches
Edmonds turned four carries into 46 yards and three catches (on four targets) into four yards during Sunday's 37-14 win at Cleveland.
Analysis: Edmonds' first touch of the game was a 40-yard run on the Cardinals' initial possession. Thereafter, his opportunities were sporadic, with none of his other six touches coming after halftime. Part of that was due to game flow, with Arizona sporting a double-digit lead from the 4:30 mark of the first quarter onward. As such, the team went with a grinder in James Conner to eat clock. On top of that, Edmonds has dealt with a shoulder injury for the past two weeks, so it's no surprise he was held…read more

Suiting up Sunday
Edmonds (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday at Cleveland, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Despite having practice limitations for a second week in a row, Edmonds will be available to the Cardinals offense Week 6. He continues to get the better end of offensive snaps over fellow running back James Conner, earning at least 60 percent in all five games while the latter has topped out at 48 percent twice. The result has been 72 touches for 429 yards from scrimmage and no TDs for Edmonds, while Conner has received 67 touches for 235 total yards and five scores.

Looking good for Week 6
Edmonds (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Edmonds was limited at practice all week, but he looks like he'll be able to work through his shoulder issue Sunday and continue to share backfield work with James Conner. Confirmation of Edmonds' Week 6 status will arrive upon the release of the Cardinals' inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the game's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Questionable for Sunday
Edmonds (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest in Cleveland, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: For a second straight week, Edmonds' practice reps were capped due to a shoulder issue. He was considered a game-time call for last Sunday's game against the 49ers, but he suited up and played a typical 60 percent of the offensive snaps on his way to nine touches for 34 total yards. Backup James Conner also logged a normal snap share (48 percent), turning 11 touches into 37 yards and one TD. A cloud continues to hang over Edmonds' availability, which won't be known until 90 minutes before…read more

Limited again Thursday
Edmonds (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: The shoulder issue resulted in Edmonds being labeled as a game-time decision ahead of the Cardinals' Week 5 matchup with the 49ers, but he proceeded to suit up in the team's victory, albeit while seeing a season-low six carries in the contest. Edmonds looks to be in better health heading into Sunday's game in Cleveland, as he's already turned in a pair of limited practices after managing only one limited session Week 5. The Cardinals will see if he can upgrade to full activity Friday, which…read more

Dealing with shoulder injury
Edmonds (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Edmonds logged a typical 60 percent of the offensive snaps (37 of 61) this past Sunday against the 49ers, but he easily had his worst statistical performance of the season (six carries for 15 yards, three catches for 19 yards on four targets). At the same time, fellow back James Conner drew 11 touches for 37 total yards and one touchdown on a 48 percent snap share. Now a week removed from the shoulder issue, Edmonds could take on a greater workload in the Cards' Week 6 matchup with the Browns.

Plays through hamstring issue
Edmonds (hamstring) ran for 15 yards on six carries against San Francisco on Sunday, adding three receptions for 19 yards on four targets.
Analysis: Between the hamstring and the tough matchup with a Fred Warner-anchored defense, there was a lot working against Edmonds on Sunday, and that's before mentioning the team's meager 17 points against the 49ers. Edmonds is a crucial part of the Cardinals offense and will usually go as the rest of the offense does, but there just wasn't as much going Sunday as usual. The Cardinals face a respectable Cleveland defense in Week 6, but there should be more opportunity for Edmonds all the same, health…read more

Suiting up Week 5
Edmonds (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the 49ers.
Analysis: Edmonds didn't get on the practice field until Friday, when his reps were limited. At the time, coach Kliff Kingsbury called Edmonds a game-time decision, but the fourth-year running back seemingly has progressed enough to play through his shoulder injury. With Edmonds in the lineup Week 5, the Cardinals likely will utilize the same 1A and 1B backfield situation (Edmonds and James Conner) as the first four games of the campaign.

Edmonds (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: The official designation became a foregone conclusion when head coach Kliff Kingsbury called Edmonds a game-time decision earlier Friday after the running back returned to practice (he sat out sessions Wednesday and Thursday). If Edmonds ends up on the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, James Conner could find himself in a not-at-all-unfamiliar three-down role.

Headed for game-time decision
Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that Edmonds (shoulder) will be a game-time decision for Sunday against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Edmonds' return to practice Friday, though likely in a limited capacity, gives him a shot to avoid his first missed game since November 2019. Shared workloads have helped Edmonds stay healthy since then, and it's possible the Cardinals give him fewer snaps and touches than usual if he suits up this weekend. He's been sharing work with James Conner, who is tied for second in the league with four rushing touchdowns despite averaging only 43 rushing yards and 6.5 receiving yards per game. Conner…read more

Returns to practice
Edmonds (shoulder) is on the field for Friday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: A return to practice after missing sessions Wednesday and Thursday should give Edmonds a shot to make it back for Sunday's game against the 49ers. If not, James Conner could be headed for a three-down role, with Jonathan Ward and Eno Benjamin (hamstring) providing depth. The Cardinals also have Tavien Feaster on their practice squad, but Conner and Edmonds are the only backs that have taken touches for the team this season.

It's unclear either way if an absence is possible for Edmonds this Sunday against the 49ers, but Friday's practice and subsequent injury report could go a long way in determining his potential to play.

Analysis: Both Edmonds and James Conner were listed as non-participants, but the latter's absence was attributed to personal reasons. Edmonds wasn't often tasked with significant workloads during his first three seasons in the league, but he's logged at least 60 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the Cardinals' four games en route to 63 touches for 395 yards.

Huge game on ground in win
Edmonds carried the ball 12 times for 120 yards and caught four of five targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.
Analysis: He did a lot of his damage in the fourth quarter as the Cards were grinding down the clock, including completing a 54-yard dash on Arizona's final scoring drive. Edmonds might have had an even bigger performance, but the team stuck to its backfield timeshare, and James Conner added 66 scrimmage yards and two TDs. Edmonds, who came into the game with only 135 rushing yards on the season, will look to carry this momentum into a Week 5 clash with the 49ers.

Analysis: Edmonds continued to outpace James Conner in offensive snaps (44 versus 25) and touches (18 to 12) Sunday. However, Conner was the first of the pair to reach the end zone this season, taking in two carries from inside the five-yard line. It's become clear through three games that Edmonds is the primary chain mover, while Conner gets more usage in the red zone, with the latter already up to eight such rushes and the former with five total touches inside the 20-yard line.

Edmonds turned eight carries into 46 yards and five receptions (on five targets) into 29 yards during Sunday's 34-33 victory versus the Vikings.
Analysis: In Week 1 at Tennessee, Edmonds (12 carries, four catches) and James Conner (16 rushes) earned the same number of touches, but the former doubled up the latter, 106-53, in total yards. One week later, Edmonds out-touched Conner, 13-8, and had 49 more yards from scrimmage (75 versus 26). If the preceding has revealed anything, Edmonds has a better chance than Conner to be utilized on a weekly basis and has been far more efficient with those looks.

Solid effort in Week 1
Edmonds ran for 63 yards on 12 carries at Tennessee on Sunday while catching four receptions for 43 yards on four targets.
Analysis: The Cardinals theorized a balanced backfield split between Edmonds and James Conner, with Edmonds the starter and in-space back and Conner an off-the-bench bruiser, and that scenario played out perfectly against the Titans on Sunday. Edmonds was efficient both as a runner and pass catcher, and there were still 16 carries left for Conner to run out the clock with late. The difference is that Conner didn't draw a single target, so the former Pittsburgh runner might disappear from the box score in…read more

Neither was targeted, while Edmonds had one three-yard carry to Conner's two rushes for one yard.

Edmonds gained 10 yards on three carries and caught his only target for an additional 10 yards in Friday's preseason win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: The 25-year-old was only on the field for Arizona's first two drives of the night, but he flashed his three-down skill set before exiting. Interestingly, he got replaced in the red zone by Jonathan Ward (ankle) on the Cards' second drive (and first scoring drive), but that isn't necessarily a hint at Edmonds' usage during the regular season.

Gets competition in backfield
Edmonds has been joined in the Cardinals backfield by James Conner, whom the organization signed Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: After Kenyan Drake was allowed to explore free agency, eventually linking up with the Raiders, Edmonds was the highest profile holdover among Arizona's running backs before this acquisition. At 6-foot-1, 233 pounds, Conner has the stature of an early-down and short-yardage option, but Edmonds has two years of experience in coach Kliff Kingsbury's system, which has resulted in 4.8 YPC on 157 rushes, 65 catches on 88 targets and 10 total touchdowns in 29 games.

Meanwhile, Edmonds was leaned on by Kyler Murry in the passing game as he finished fourth on the team in targets with 67 in 16 games.

Edmonds (hip) is active for Sunday's road game versus the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: When available and serving as Kenyan Drake's direct backup this season, Edmonds has averaged 8.8 touches for 56.1 yards from scrimmage while scoring five TDs across 13 games. The potential exists for Edmonds to be inhibited by the hip injury that kept him off the practice field during the week. If that happens, whatever he's unable to handle likely will shift to Drake and (to a lesser extent) D.J. Foster.

Analysis: Edmonds is being treated as a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but he looks like he'll be able to contribute in some capacity during the regular-season finale. Kenyan Drake should remain Arizona's lead ball carrier Week 17, but an available Edmonds would likely serve as the team's top pass-catching option out of the backfield.

Scores on 66 scrimmage yards
Edmonds carried 11 times for 47 yards while catching three of five targets for 19 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 33-26 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Coming off a minor ankle injury, Edmonds easily out-rushed Kenyan Drake, who managed just 26 yards on 10 carries. He also garnered more targets, receptions and receiving yards while scoring his fifth touchdown of the year on a six-yard grab in the first quarter. Edmonds' superior playmaking ability in this one could earn him a few more touches next Saturday against the 49ers, but the two backs are likely to split the workload somewhat evenly.

Analysis: Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury indicated Wednesday that Edmonds would likely be a game-time decision for Sunday's tilt with the Eagles, so the running back's lack of activity with the main group for a second straight day isn't too surprising in that context.

Edmonds turned seven carries into 32 yards and four catches (on five targets) into 21 yards during Sunday's 26-7 road win against the Giants.
Analysis: Working behind starting running back Kenyan Drake, Edmonds continues to hover around 10 touches weekly en route to 57.8 yards from scrimmage per game and four touchdowns in 13 outings. Edmonds also earned almost as many offensive snaps as Drake -- 40 versus 44 (of 79) -- but the latter had 24 touches Sunday. Due to his versatility, Edmonds will continue to be a regular in the Cardinals offense, but his standing as the No. 2 RB hurts his ceiling.

Another 43 yards from scrimmage
Edmonds recorded six carries for 28 yards and two catches (on six targets) for 15 yards during Sunday's 38-28 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: As the Cardinals have become increasingly pass-heavy during their current three-game losing streak, Edmonds' target count has experienced an appreciable boost (five targets per game during that stretch, versus 3.6 prior to that point). Still, he's recorded two of his four lowest receiving yardage totals in that span. Due to the game script dictating more passing, though, Edmonds earned more offensive snaps than starting running back Kenyan Drake -- 37-29 -- and the former also reeled off a…read more

Manages 43 total yards
Edmonds had six carries for 29 yards and four catches (on five targets) for 14 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss at New England.
Analysis: On a day in which the Cardinals couldn't get much going through the air -- Kyler Murray averaged a measly 5.0 yards per attempt -- Edmonds' slight contribution as a receiver helped him finish third among the team's skill-position players with 43 yards from scrimmage. Only Kenyan Drake (93) and DeAndre Hopkins (55) compiled more such yards. In the 10 games that Drake has been available this season, Edmonds has averaged 8.2 touches for 56.7 total yards per game while scoring four TDs, so the…read more

Scores as receiver in loss
Edmonds rushed twice for 13 yards, brought in all four targets for 36 yards and a touchdown and returned five kickoffs for 100 yards in the Cardinals' 28-21 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.
Analysis: The versatile running back put his skill set on full display in the losing effort, with the highlight of his night coming on a three-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter to cap off a 15-play, 90-yard march. Edmonds did see his lowest rushing workload of the season, but he'd come close to matching Thursday's sparse usage with a trio of three-carry games earlier in the campaign. The 2018 fourth-round pick now have multiple receptions in four straight contests and has crossed the goal…read more

Effective in No. 2 role Sunday
Edmonds carried the ball eight times for 56 yards and caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 32-30 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Despite the return of Kenyan Drake to the lineup, Edmonds still saw double-digit touches and put together a productive afternoon. The duo will likely continue to share the load in the Cardinals' backfield in Week 11 against a porous Seahawks defense that just gave up three rushing TDs to the Rams.

Struggles with large workload
Edmonds carried 25 times for 70 yards and caught all three of his targets for an additional 18 yards during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: With Kenyan Drake (ankle) sidelined, Edmonds received nearly as many carries in this one as he had in the first seven games combined. Despite facing a favorable matchup on paper, the typically efficient back averaged just 2.8 yards per carry and couldn't break off any big gains in the passing game. Edmonds will likely be the featured back again next Sunday against the Bills and will look to take advantage of his favorable role in one of the NFL's more potent offenses.

Poised to head backfield
Edmonds is in line to headline the Cardinals backfield with Kenyan Drake slated to miss "a few weeks" due to a high-ankle sprain, Kyle Odegard of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: With the help of Drake's departure in the fourth quarter of an eventual overtime win against the Seahawks on Sunday, Edmonds handled a season-high 61 percent of the Cards' offensive snaps en route to 12 touches for 145 yards. He reeled off a 32-yard run, a 21-yard catch-and-run and an 18-yard reception among his opportunities, which leaves him with a healthy 6.1 yards per carry and 6.9 yards per catch on the season. If Edmonds bumps up from his own 7.9 touches per game closer to Drake's 18.0…read more

Takes over lead role late
Edmonds carried five times for 58 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 84 yards Sunday in the Cardinals' 37-34 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Arizona had already been featuring Edmonds as its top pass-catching back this season, and the third-year player looks like he could be thrust into a lead role as soon as Week 9 against Miami after starter Kenyan Drake was carted off the field late in the fourth quarter with what appeared to be a serious ankle injury, according to Mason Kern of SI.com. Already in the midst of a strong game prior to Drake's departure, Edmonds has now upped his season averages to 6.1 yards per carry and 8.5 yards…read more

Totals 29 yards from scrimmage
Edmonds had five carries for 23 yards and one reception (on two targets) for six yards during Monday's 38-10 win at Dallas.
Analysis: Game flow helped starting running back Kenyan Drake match his season high with 20 rushes, which translated into 164 yards and two touchdowns. Edmonds himself logged a typical offensive snap share (37 percent), but his 29 yards from scrimmage marked his second fewest of the campaign. With an average of 7.2 touches per game in 2020, he's difficult to rely upon weekly in many formats.

Productive again on limited touches
Edmonds carried the ball three times for 36 yards and a touchdown and caught five of six targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.
Analysis: While Kenyan Drake saw 19 touches to Edmonds' eight, it was the latter who led the Arizona backfield in yardage as he dashed for a 29-yard TD in the first quarter and added a 30-yard reception in the second. It was Edmonds' best yardage total yet this season and he's making a strong case for a bigger workload, but he may not need many touches to make an impact in Week 6 against a porous Dallas defense.

Nine touches, one TD in Week 4
Edmonds notched four carries for 16 yards and gathered in five of six targets for 24 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-21 loss at Carolina.
Analysis: Edmonds' snap share (37 percent) wasn't out of the ordinary, but he matched his season high in touches and reached the end zone for the second time this season. Meanwhile, starting running back Kenyan Drake had an injury scare late in Sunday's contest, but on Monday it was revealed he merely had the wind knocked out of him. In the end, Edmonds should maintain his usual workload moving forward, barring something happening to Drake.

Has 34 yards from scrimmage Week 3
Edmonds compiled three carries for 13 yards and caught both of his targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Edmonds' touch count has decreased in each game this season, as he earned nine Week 1 and six Week 2 before five this past Sunday. He hasn't exactly been productive either, turning 20 touches into 92 yards from scrimmage and one TD. With his share of the offensive snaps hovering in the low-to-mid 30s, Edmonds' workload isn't enough to make him a consistent producer behind Kenyan Drake, who himself has yet to surpass 100 yards from scrimmage in a given game and has scored just one touchdown.

Notches six touches Sunday
Edmonds tallied three rushes for four yards and gathered in three of four targets for nine yards during Sunday's 30-15 win versus Washington.
Analysis: After playing 28 snaps on offense and scoring a TD on nine touches in the Cardinals' Week 1 victory at San Francisco, Edmonds logged 27 such plays but didn't find pay dirt on six touches one week later. Meanwhile, starting running back Kenyan Drake has racked up 108 offensive snaps and scooped up most of the backfield work (40 total touches). Edmonds will make the occasional splash play, like he did in the season opener, but as long as Drake is healthy, the former will have outings like…read more

Finds end zone vs. 49ers
Edmonds carried six times for 26 yards while catching three of five targets for 19 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-20 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Edmonds didn't do much on the ground outside of a 20-yard gain, but he did manage to get his team on the board with a 10-yard receiving touchdown in the first quarter. The production was likely a pleasant surprise for Edmonds' fantasy managers, as he wasn't expected to play much of a role in this one given the team's other offensive weapons. He remains a worthy backup to Kenyan Drake, but he seems unlikely to produce bankable fantasy numbers in next Sunday's home matchup against Washington.

Feeling heat from draft pick
Edmonds has some competition for backfield reps after the Cardinals drafted Eno Benjamin in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: A fourth-round pick in 2018, Edmonds could feel some heat for reps behind starter Kenyan Drake, who received the transition tag this offseason and is in talks with the Cardinals on a long-term contract. As evidence, Edmonds only received two touches in the five games in which both he and Drake were on the roster during the 2019 campaign. Additionally, Edmonds has averaged just 24.8 yards from scrimmage per game in 29 pro appearances, while Benjamin accrued 3,335 yards from scrimmage over his…read more

Racks up 408 yards from scrimmage
Edmonds had 60 carries for 303 yards, 12 receptions (on 21 targets) for 105 yards and five total touchdowns in 13 games during the 2019 season.
Analysis: Edmond got a chance to act as the Cardinals' lead running back for one contest, dashing 27 times for 126 yards and three TDs against the Giants in Week 7. Otherwise, he seemingly was an afterthought in the offense, especially after a midseason hamstring injury coincided with Kenyan Drake's arrival in Arizona. Drake enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, but his dynamic performance may have endeared himself to the team's brass. In any case, the Cards will head into the new league…read more

Notches one touch Week 14
Edmonds had a nine-yard carry and didn't haul in either of his two targets during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Since sitting out three games and using the Cardinals' Week 12 bye to get past a hamstring injury, Edmonds has lost all sway he may have built up earlier in the season. Over the last two contests, he's logged just 11 offensive snaps -- all of them Sunday -- while Kenyan Drake (90) and David Johnson (37) handled the vast majority of RB reps. Without an injury to that duo, Edmonds is unlikely to make a regular impact out of Arizona's backfield.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
