  • Returning in Week 14

    Edwards (hand) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

    Analysis: Edwards missed Chicago's last four games due to a hand injury, but following a full practice session Friday, he'll return for the Week 14 divisional contest. The 29-year-old has appeared in just five games this season, recording 31 total tackles and three passes defensed. Now fully healthy, he's expected to assume Chicago's top middle linebacker duties Sunday.

  • Returns to practice

    Edwards (hand) was estimated to be limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.

  • Remaining out Week 13

    Edwards (hand) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup against Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Edwards suffered a hand injury in Week 9 against Cincinnati and hasn't been able to play since. He was deemed a DNP in all three practices this week (though two were walkthroughs), so it's not clear if he's anywhere close to returning. Fellow linebackers Ruben Hyppolite (shoulder) and Noah Sewell (elbow) have also been ruled out for Friday, and Tremaine Edmunds (groin) landed on IR on Saturday, so the Bears will be extremely thin at the position.

  • Another DNP on Thursday

    Edwards (hand/hamstring) did not practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Edwards underwent surgery on a broken hand last Friday and is dealing with a persisting hamstring injury which has kept him out of the last five consecutive practices.

Edwards played 234 defensive snaps during the past four games, logging 27 total tackles (12 solo) and three passes defended. The absence of the starting middle linebacker will likely create an opportunity for Amen Ogbongbemiga to log some snaps with the Bears' linebacker corps in Sunday's game.

    Head coach Ben Johnson told reporters Friday that Edwards had surgery on a broken hand and is still dealing with a hamstring injury, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Johnson added that Edwards will wear a cast on his broken hand but likely isn't a candidate to be placed on the injured reserve list. The Wisconsin product has appeared in just five contests this season, recording 31 total tackles and three passes defended. He's likely a longshot to play in the Week 10 matchup against the Giants, and Amen Ogbongbemiga could have an expanded role in the Bears' linebacker corps if Edwards is sidelined Sunday.

    Analysis: Edwards has spent the requisite amount of time on IR and is apparently back to full health. The second-year linebacker out of Wisconsin is expected to return to practice during the upcoming week and likely will be activated after a full week of practice without a setback. According to Kaye, the Eagles could make Edwards the starting middle linebacker, which would bump Duke Riley back to the outside and Alex Singleton to a reserve role. It remains to be seen if that's how the rotation actually…read more

  • Shifts to IR

    Edwards (hamstring) will be out at least three weeks after being moved to injured reserve Thursday.

    Analysis: Edwards started at middle linebacker for the Eagles Weeks 1 through 4, after starting just four times across 16 appearances for the team last year. He was forced to exit Sunday night's win against the 49ers, and Monday coach Doug Pederson hinted at the possibility that Edwards would miss multiple games. That suspicion has been confirmed with Philadelphia's latest move, thus elevating sixth-round rookie Shaun Bradley into a starting role.

  • Expected to miss time

    Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Edwards (hamstring) likely will miss games, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Edwards exited this past Sunday's win over the 49ers with a hamstring injury and likely will sit out Week 5's matchup against the Steelers. The second-year pro has been a consistent contributor at middle linebacker this season, but Alex Singleton and Shaun Bradley will likely rotate in until Edwards returns.

  • Return questionable due to hammy

    Edwards (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Edwards joins an extensive list of prominent injured Eagles on both sides of the ball. Shaun Bradley should take over at middle linebacker as long as Edwards is out.

  • Set for increased role?

    Edwards is eyeing an increased role on defense heading into Year 2, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Edwards only handled 115 defensive snaps across 16 games as a rookie. Though he officially logged four starts, he never played more than 22 snaps on defense in a single contest. If the undrafted linebacker out of Wisconsin is able to take a step forward in his development heading into the second year of his career, the Eagles could see fit to rely on him to handle an expanded interior role. At the very least, Edwards' ability to contribute on both defense and special teams should secure him a…read more
