Chase Edmonds Injury News & Updates

Edmonds reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Edmonds didn't see a snap on offense as he operated as the Commanders' RB4 behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Chris Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. However, Edmonds did play seven snaps on special teams and returned for kickoffs for 93 yards. The Commanders are on a bye Week 12, but Edmonds could be elevated to the active roster for Week 13 against Denver on Sunday, Nov. 30 if Washington needs a returner on kickoffs and punts.

The Commanders elevated Edmonds from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

Edmonds joined the Commanders' practice squad in mid-September, and he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Dolphins in Spain to provide additional backfield depth behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Chris Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols. Edmonds missed the entire 2024 season due to a knee injury and last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Buccaneers, when he turned 49 carries into 176 yards and caught 14 passes (on 17 targets) for 81 yards across 13 games.

Edmonds signed with the Commanders' practice squad Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Edmonds missed all of Tampa Bay's 2024 campaign due to a knee injury, but signing with the Commanders' practice squad Monday suggests he's moved past the issue. The 2018 fourth-round pick from Fordham last played with the Buccaneers in 2023, rushing 49 times for 176 yards while catching 14 passes for 81 yards across 13 regular-season contests. Edmonds' signing provides depth to a Washington backfield that just lost Austin Ekeler (Achilles) for the remainder of the season.

Edmonds was placed on season-ending injured reserve Monday due to a knee injury, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

The 28-year-old RB won't be designated for a return, meaning the only way he can play this season is if he reaches an injury settlement to be released by Tampa Bay. Edmonds hasn't practiced since the first week of training camp and recently had arthroscopic surgery on his injured knee.

The Buccaneers placed Edmonds (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Edmonds has been nursing an undisclosed injury throughout training camp, and it will now cost him the 2024 season. As a result, Bucky Irving, Sean Tucker and DJ Williams will be the remaining candidates for a depth role at running back behind Rachaad White. Edmonds was not given the IR designated to return option, so he will now set his sights on recovering for 2025.

Coach Todd Bowles indicated that Edmonds (undisclosed) is likely to begin the coming season on IR, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Edmonds has been sidelined with an unspecified injury that has lingered, and it looks like he'll begin the 2024 campaign on IR, a scenario that would see him miss at least four games out of the gate. In his looming absence, Rachaad White, Bucky Irvingand Sean Tucker profile as Tampa Bay's top backfield options ahead of Week 1.

Edmonds (undisclosed) isn't practicing Tuesday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Edmonds has been out with an undisclosed injury since the start of training camp, with his absence now nearing the one-month mark. Meanwhile, Bucky Irving worked ahead of Tampa Bay's other reserve running backs in both of the first two preseason games, putting him on track to enter Week 1 as the No. 2 RB behind returning starter Rachaad White. It's possible Edmonds won't have a spot on the roster even if he returns to healthy before cut-down day Aug. 27.

Edmonds (undisclosed) has missed nearly two weeks of practice and won't participate Tuesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Edmonds has been nursing an undisclosed injury since the early days of training camp. He was expected to compete with rookie Bucky Irving and others for backup roles behind starting running back Rachaad White, who played 78.1 percent of Tampa Bay's snaps on offense last season.

Edmonds isn't practicing due to an undisclosed injury, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Coach Todd Bowles declined to elaborate on the nature of the injury that has Edmonds sidelined for the start of training camp. The 28-year-old is expected to compete with rookie fourth-round pick Bucky Irving and others for backup roles behind starting running back Rachaad White.

Tampa Bay re-signed Edmonds on Wednesday.

Edmonds returns to a Buccaneers team that trusted him with the No. 2 role behind lead back Rachaad White last season. Across 13 regular-season appearances in 2023, Edmonds rushed 49 times for 176 yards and secured 14 of 17 catches for 81 yards, all without a single touchdown. He could be primed for a similar role in 2024, though Sean Tucker will be a candidate to carve out a larger workload Year 2, and Tampa Bay could still add to the backfield in free agency or April's draft.

Edmonds rushed four times for 19 yards and brought in both targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-23 divisional-round loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Edmonds overcame a questionable tag due to a toe injury to suit up for the postseason contest, and he filled his typically modest No. 2 role behind lead back Rachaad White. The veteran was reasonably effective with his opportunities during a 13-game regular season, recording 176 rushing yards at 3.6 yards per carry and adding a 14-81 receiving line. Edmonds then added 11 carries for 31 yards and three receptions for another 26 during Tampa Bay's two postseason games, and he's slated for unrestricted free agency this offseason after playing 2023 on a one-year deal.

Edmonds (toe) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

After being deemed a non-participant in Wednesday and Thursday's walk-throughs, Edmonds logged a limited session Friday and approached the contest listed as questionable. With his active status versus Detroit confirmed, the running back is available to maintain his complementary role behind starter Rachaad White. As long as White remains healthy, however, Edmonds -- who logged seven carries for 12 yards and one catch for eight yards in the Buccaneers' wild-card win over the Eagles this past Monday -- will profile as a speculative lineup option.

Edmonds (toe) returned to practice Friday and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Detroit, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Edmonds didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday despite handling his normal role in Monday's 32-9 win over the Eagles. He typically plays about one-fourth of Tampa Bay's snaps on offense, and he got 5-to-10 touches in each of the past four games (including eight for 20 yards in the wild-card win over Philadelphia). The Bucs' other backfield options behind starter Rachaad White are rookie Sean Tucker and practice-squad member Patrick Laird.

Edmonds (toe) didn't participate at Thursday's walkthrough.

Edmonds now was missed back-to-back walkthroughs due to a toe injury, placing a cloud over his potential to play in Sunday's divisional-round game in Detroit. Ultimately, the Buccaneers may make a ruling on his availability upon posting their final practice report of the week Friday.

Edmonds was held out of Wednesday's walk-through practice due to a toe injury.

Edmonds had no fewer than five touches and no more than 10 in each of Tampa's last four games, including a 32-9 win over Philadelphia in the wild-card round. If he were to miss Sunday's game against Detroit, it might mean more playing time for starter Rachaad White and likely would leave Sean Tucker as the backup RB.

Edmonds rushed seven times for 12 yards and brought in one of two targets for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 32-9 wild-card win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Edmonds filled his usual backup role alongside Rachaad White, but on this occasion, the gulf between their workload wasn't as expansive as usual. Dating back to Week 14, Edmonds has recorded at least four rush attempts in four of six contests, but his pass-catching work remains extremely modest with the exception of a five-reception tally against the Saints in Week 17. As long as White is healthy in front of him, Edmonds figures in for single-digit touches again in Sunday's divisional-round road matchup versus the Lions.

Edmonds rushed four times for 27 yards and brought in his only target for minus-3 yards in the Buccaneers' 9-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Edmonds gained 21 of his yards on one carry, leading to his second-highest rushing yardage total of the season. The veteran back had a slightly smaller role than he likely envisioned when he signed to the Buccaneers this past offseason, finishing the 2023 campaign with 49 carries for 176 yards and a 14-81 line through the air across 13 games. However, Edmonds did have eight- and 10-carry tallies within the final five games of the season, and he should continue operating as the primary backup to Rachaad White during the postseason, albeit likely in the same low-volume role.

Edmonds rushed three times for 16 yards and brought in five of six targets for 40 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-13 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

One week after recording a season-high 10 carries, Edmonds produced new 2023 high-water marks in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Game script helped lead to Edmonds' expanded opportunity, however, and it's possible the same scenario isn't replicated in Week 18 against the lowly Panthers in what is a must-win game for the Buccaneers.

Edmonds rushed 10 times for 25 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-12 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

The sixth-year veteran's usage shot back up Sunday after he'd followed a 10-touch tally in Week 14 with just three carries against the Packers in Week 15. Edmonds' carry total Sunday was a season high and qualified as his most usage on the ground since Week 1 of last season in his Dolphins debut. The encouraging increase in involvement does come with a caveat, however, as it appeared to be largely the byproduct of an extremely positive second-half game script for the Buccaneers' running game.

Edmonds carried three times for 13 yards and did not see a target in the Buccaneers' 34-20 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Edmonds' usage had spiked in Week 14, when the versatile veteran had logged 10 total touches in the high-scoring win over the Falcons. However, with Sunday's downturn, which included his first game without a target since Week 2, Edmonds' outlook is once again clouded and essentially makes him a fantasy non-factor for what remains of the season.

Edmonds rushed eight times for 40 yards and secured both targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Edmonds' final numbers are likely indicative of the type of opportunity that many, including the running back himself, figured he'd see on a weekly basis once he was acclimated to the Buccaneers offense. Whether his season-high carry, rushing yardage and receiving yardage are the first sign of a growing role or simply an outlier remains to be seen, but Edmonds draws a friendly matchup on paper against the Packers in a Week 15 road matchup.

Edmonds rushed twice for seven yards and brought in his only target for two yards in the Buccaneers' 21-18 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Edmonds was once again a distant second to Rachaad White in carries, logging 18 fewer rush attempts and four fewer targets. The complementary back is a perpetual afterthought in the offense, as he's yet to top four carries or three targets in any of the eight games he's suited up for.

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.

The reserve running back saw just five snaps on offense compare 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.

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.

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 with White enjoying a firm hold on the No. 1 running back job.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Buccaneers activated Edmonds (knee) from injured reserve Wednesday.

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 night 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's No. 2 back of late, mostly subbing in for White on early downs and taking a handful or so of carries per game.

The Bucs designated Edmonds (knee) to return from injured reserve Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Edmonds went on injured reserve with a sprained MCL 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 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 has minimal fantasy value outside of the deepest of formats.

The Buccaneers placed Edmonds (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Edmonds was forced out of Week 2 action this past Sunday at Tampa Bay 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 and Ke'Shawn Vaughn candidates for touches behind him.

Edmonds (knee) will undergo an MRI on Monday to test primarily for damage to his MCL, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

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.

Edmonds (knee) will not return Sunday against the Bears.

Edmonds exited in the first half with the injury. His absence will leave all the work at running back for Rachaad White and Sean Tucker for the remainder of their Week 2 contest.

Edmonds exited Sunday's Week 2 contest against Chicago with a knee injury and is questionable to return.

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.

Edmonds rushed twice for eight yards and wasn't targeted in the Buccaneers' 20-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

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.

Edmonds (undisclosed) wasn't listed on the Buccaneers' first Week 1 injury report Wednesday.

Edmonds was held out of preseason Week 3 with an unknown injury, but it won't impact his availability for Sunday's season opener at Minnesota. While the Buccaneers backfield is paced by a clear No. 1 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 his five-year career between the Cardinals, Dolphins and Broncos, Edmonds has averaged 4.5 yards per carry and hauled in 76.6 percent of his 188 targets in 70 games.

Edmonds (undisclosed) is viewed by the coaching staff as capable of handling multiple roles in the Buccaneers' backfield, the team's official site reports.

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. Although the coaching staff clearly sees lead back Rachaad White as capable of thriving on all three downs, new offensive coordinator Dave Canales is planning on rotating Edmonds into some early-down rushing work in addition to his projected pass-catching duties. If that holds true, that could give Edmonds a regular edge in touches over fellow reserves Sean Tucker and Ke'Shawn Vaughn, who Canales describes as having "a lot of value on first and second down as runners" more so than as safety valves out of the backfield on passing downs.

Edmonds (undisclosed) was held out of practice Thursday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

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 Giovani Bernard this season and operate as the team's No. 2 running back behind Rachaad White.

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.

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.

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.

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 according to some offseason chatter, while Ke'Shawn Vaughn could be the primary candidate to spell White on early downs. Nevertheless, at least for the first depth chart of 2023, it's Edmonds who's listed as White's direct backup, although it's worth noting the veteran offseason addition has logged under 100 carries in four of his first five NFL seasons.

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.

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 27-year-old is also capable of carrying out slot receiver duties.

The Buccaneers are signing Edmonds to a one-year contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

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. With the Buccaneers having released Leonard Fournette, Rachaad White currently stands as Edmonds' primary competition for touches.

The Broncos are slated to release Edmonds, Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report.

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.

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.

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. The 26-year-old missed four games after being placed on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain, further limiting his time on the field. Edmonds saw double-digit carries just once this season back in Week 1 with the Dolphins. Looking ahead to the 2023 campaign, Edmonds remains under contract and is set to become a free agent in 2024. With teammate Javonte Williams (knee) recovering from a season-ending right ACL tear, Edmonds could find himself in an increased role out of the backfield to start the season if Williams is not ready to go. With fellow running backs Latavius Murray, Marlon Mack

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.

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 their 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 opportunity to gain some positive momentum heading into the offseason in a Week 18 matchup against the Chargers.

Edmonds (ankle) was activated off of injured reserve and gained 31 yards on six carries and 22 yards on two receptions in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.

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.

The Broncos have activated Edmonds (ankle) from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.

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 he will.

Edmonds (ankle) is slated to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Edmonds, who last suited up in Week 11, has been designated to return from IR and is thus a candidate to be activated in advance of Week 16 action. If that happens, Edmonds would bolster Denver's backfield depth down the stretch, while likely moving into a complementary role behind Latavius Murray, who ran 24 times for 130 yards and a TD in this past weekend's win over the Cardinals.

The Broncos placed Edmonds (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Edmonds was unable to return to this past Sunday's overtime loss to the Raiders after getting injured, and he eventually was diagnosed with a high right-ankle sprain. 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. After the Broncos waived Melvin Gordon on Monday, Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack are the only running backs on the active roster, while Devine Ozigbo and Tyreik McAllister are candidates to be elevated from the practice squad.

Coach Nathaniel Hackett noted Monday that Edmonds is in line to miss "a lot of time'" with high right ankle sprain, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

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.

Edmonds suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Per Schefter, the injury is expected to sideline Edmonds for "a few weeks." If Edmonds heals quickly, he could see an expanded role behind Latavius Murray, as the Broncos released fellow running back Melvin Gordon on Monday. Given that high ankle sprains often require 4-6 weeks to recover from, Edmonds may not heal up in time to make much of an impact this season.

Edmonds was forced out of Sunday's game against the Raiders with an ankle injury.

Prior to his first-quarter exit from the contest, Edmonds carried twice for six yards. In his absence, Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray are available to handle Denver's backfield duties.

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.

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. The Broncos' continued offensive woes paired with what is likely to be a three-man committee at running back will likely put a cap on Edmonds' fantasy potential. However, it would make sense to see his involvement increase as the season progresses. The 26-year-old will look to take a step forward when the Broncos host the Raiders in Week 11, though he will be difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

The Dolphins agreed 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 Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

In the wake of Javonte Williams' season-ending ACL tear, Denver has operated with a timeshare out of the backfield, and Edmonds will be another piece for coach Nathaniel Hackett in that regard, joining Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray. It's unclear what kind of role Edmonds can expect in his new locale, 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.

Edmonds carried the ball four times for 14 yard during Sunday's 31-27 win over Detroit.

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.

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.

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 any point this season. For now, Edmonds should be considered an underperforming backup heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Lions.

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.

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.

Edmonds rushed once for one yard and failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 40-17 loss to the Jets.

Raheem Mostert mustered 122 scrimmage yards and a touchdown as Miami's clear lead back, while Alain Poupart of Sports Illustrated Fan Nation points out that Myles Gaskin supplanted Edmonds as Miami's change-of-pace back following a pair of dropped passes by Edmonds. Gaskin turned four carries and five targets into 33 scrimmage yards. It's too early to tell whether Edmonds' benching will carry over into Week 6 against the Vikings, but he'll be tough to trust regardless after generating fewer than 30 yards in each of his last three games.

Edmonds rushed five times for six yards and brought in two of three targets for 14 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 27-15 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night.

Edmonds logged 10 fewer carries than backfield mate Raheem Mostert, but he was able to find the end zone for the third time in the last two games via a seven-yard touchdown reception with seven seconds remaining in the first half. Edmonds has generated just 85 yards on 28 carries over his first four games, but he does have a pair of rushing scores along with Thursday's receiving touchdown, his first of the season. Edmonds figures to remain in a complementary role, albeit one that includes a solid red-zone presence thus far, irrespective of whether it's Tua Tagovailoa (head/neck) or Teddy Bridgewater under center for a Week 5 AFC East road showdown against the Jets a week from Sunday.

Edmonds rushed six times for 21 yards and two touchdowns and secured his only target for six yards in the Dolphins' 21-19 win over the Bills on Sunday.

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 and backfield mate Raheem Mostert (eight carries) had a near-even split of the rushing work Sunday, so the former certainly remains a viable fantasy option for Thursday night's Week 4 road showdown against the Bengals.

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.

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 riding the hot hand. Coach Mike McDaniel's backfield usage could vary on a weekly basis, making Edmonds a risky fantasy play versus the Bills in Week 3.

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.

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.

Edmonds (groin) practiced fully Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

After being limited Wednesday, Edmonds upgraded to full participation Thursday, as did fellow RB Myles Gaskin (neck). Looking ahead to Sunday's regular-season opener against the Patriots, Edmonds is in line to see his share of backfield touches, but it remains to be seen how much of a committee approach Miami elects to employ early on this season, with Raheem Mostert and Gaskin, to a lesser degree, candidates to log carries, and Salvon Ahmed (heel) on hand in reserve. Of that group, however, Edmonds profiles as the Week 1 upside play in fantasy.

Edmonds was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice on account of a groin injury, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Fellow Miami RBs 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. There was no previous signal of Edmonds managing an injury this summer, but it's worth watching to see if he upgrades to full participation ahead of Sunday's matchup with New England.

Edmonds not in line to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Eagles.

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.

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.

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.

Edmonds isn't slated to play in Saturday's preseason game in Tampa Bay.

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.

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.

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 training camp's 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. "He knows every receiver assignment and he's understanding of the blocking schemes and all that," McDaniel said. "But more so, he has a combination of feel to apply abstract coaching points." Those comments speak to Edmond's three-down versatility, which when combined with the fact that he signed a two-year, $12.1 million contract with the Dolphins, still appears to make him the favorite to lead what could be a multi-headed rushing attack.

Edmonds remains the favorite to handle the majority of touches among Miami's backfield, Mike Masala of USA Today reports.

The Dolphins will likely also work in Raheem Mostert (knee) and Sony Michel on a weekly basis, 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 rushing scheme, at least on paper. If Edmonds can indeed emerge as a No. 1 option rather than a mere member of a backfield by committee, he could enjoy a true fantasy breakout during the 2022 campaign.

Edmonds has been joined by Raheem Mostert (knee) atop Miami's backfield depth chart, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports.

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 managers may have difficulty extracting predictable production. Incumbents Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed also remain in the building, but appear more suited for depth roles under the new coaching staff.

The Dolphins and Edmonds have agreed to terms on a two-year deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

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 in 12 games, adding 43 catches 311 yards. 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. Other running backs the Dolphins currently have under contract are Myles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed and Gerrid Doaks.

Edmonds rushed eight times for 28 yards in Monday night's 34-11 wild-card round loss to the Rams.

Edmonds played despite carrying ribs 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 yards (592) while scoring twice. He also caught 43 of 53 targets for 311 yards. After that uptick in production, the 2018 fourth-rounder is slated to enter free agency this offseason, making it unclear whether his career will continue with the Cardinals or not.

Edmonds (ribs/toe) will be joined by James Conner (ribs) in the Cardinals backfield for Monday's wild-card game at the Rams, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

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. The activity was enough for Conner to get the all-clear for Monday's win-or-go-home situation, 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 that, Edmonds seems to be healthier than Conner, so the former could get the upper hand in snap count.

Edmonds (ribs/toe) doesn't have a designation for Monday's wild-card game at the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

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. Conner's status is of particular interest for Edmonds' eventual workload. A decision on Conner won't be official until 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's absent Edmonds would be poised for most of the backfield reps. When Conner missed Weeks 17 and 18 with a heel injury, Edmonds reeled off 209 yards from scrimmage and one TD on 34 rushes and 13 catches (on 15 targets).

Edmonds (ribs) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

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. In that scenario, Edmonds would likely find himself in a three-down bellcow role for one of the few times all season.

Edmonds (ribs/toe) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

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). On Thursday, coach Kliff Kingsbury called both Edmonds and Conner game-time calls for Monday at the Rams, but the running back himself later stated he expects to play, per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site. How Edmonds and Conner fare in practice Friday and Saturday likely will determine their availability and likely breakdown of reps for the team's playoff opener.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury expects Edmonds (ribs) to be tested at Thursday's practice, Dana Scott of The Arizona Republic reports.

Kingsbury put Edmonds, James Conner (ribs/heel) and Jonathan Ward (knee) in the same category Wednesday, calling them day-to-day and suggesting they'd 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 to see Conner depart in the fourth quarter with a similar issue. With fourth-stringer Ward also banged up, No. 3 back Eno Benjamin is the only healthy RB on Arizona's roster as of mid-week. The Cardinals do have a bit of extra time with their upcoming playoff game against the Rams scheduled for Monday night.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that Edmonds (ribs) will not play Sunday against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

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 hope to make it back next weekend for the opening round of the tournament.

Edmonds (rib/toe) wasn't present for Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

With Edmonds set to go down as a non-participant on the Cardinals' first two Week 18 practice reports, he looks at risk of missing Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Seahawks. 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. If Conner is cleared to play this weekend and Edmonds isn't available, the former could find himself in a three-down role.

Edmonds was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to rib and toe injuries, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Edmonds has earned back-to-back starts for an injured James Conner (heel) the last two weeks, combining for 47 touches for 209 yards from scrimmage and one TD. The elevated workload has left Edmonds compromised on the health front, though, while Conner managed a limited session to begin Week 18 prep. Edmonds will have two more chances to put himself on a path to active status Sunday versus the Seahawks, but the script again may flip for the two running backs when it comes to the top option out of the Cardinals backfield.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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 daunting with the prospect of a timeshare added. Conner could be a game-time decision ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Edmonds (back) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Both of the Cardinals' top running backs are at less than 100 percent health at the moment, but Edmonds at least has been able to log some on-field work this week. 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. If that comes to pass, Edmonds again would be Arizona's unquestioned No. 1 RB -- assuming he's active -- which translated to 24 touches for 127 yards from scrimmage and one TD this past Saturday versus the Colts.

Edmonds was limited by a back injury at Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

After missing four games due to a high-ankle sprain, Edmonds returned to action Week 15 in Detroit, handling a 40 percent snap share on his way to six carries. 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 TD. Conner wasn't able to practice Wednesday and is set up to be a game-time decision again Week 17 at Dallas, so the healthier Edmonds could be poised for another outing with significant volume, even if the former is able to suit up Sunday.

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.

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 Edmonds should be in line for a larger share of the RB reps.

Edmonds (ankle) rushed six times for 53 yards and failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 30-12 loss to Detroit.

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.

The Cardinals activated Edmonds (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Arizona designated Edmonds for return prior to a Week 14 matchup with the Rams but ultimately didn't bring him back to the active roster. 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. The Cardinals may not place a heavy burden on Edmonds off the bat, but Conner likely will yield at least a handful of the 20.8 touches per game he handled during the former's four-game absence.

Edmonds (ankle) is running routes at Friday's practice and looks healthy, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com.

Edmonds is closing in on a return after four consecutive missed games, while James Conner is now dealing with an ankle injury of his own, though the 230-pounder did return to practice Friday. Unlike his teammate, Edmonds won't be listed on the practice/injury report this week, as he's technically still on IR (with a designation to return). The Cardinals need to move Edmonds to the active roster by Saturday afternoon to have him available for Sunday's game in Detroit.

The Cardinals didn't activated Edmonds (ankle) off injured reserve, and he will be out for Monday's game against the Rams, Darren Uban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The 25-year-old was unofficially 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. James Conner will continue to lead Arizona's backfield in Monday's divisional matchup, while Eno Benjamin works in a secondary role.

Edmonds (ankle) is expected to be a game-time decision ahead of Monday's contest against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

It's a tricky situation as the Cardinals have until Sunday at 4 pm ET to activate the running back from injured reserve. Because Edmonds is currently on injured reserve the team does not have to release practice participation information which makes it difficult to really access the likelihood of Edmonds returning for Monday's pivotal divisional contest. The fact coach Kliff Kingsbury even left open the possibility of a return has to be considered a positive, though it's entirely possible the Cardinals' coach could be playing a bit of gamesmanship with his star running back.

Arizona designated Edmonds (ankle) for return from injured reserve Thursday, opening up a 21-day practice window in which he can be evaluated for a return to the 53-man roster, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Edmonds will be eligible to play as soon as Monday's game against the Rams, after he already missed the requisite three games while on IR due to a high-ankle sprain suffered Nov. 7 against the 49ers. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury suggested the running back will have a fair chance at returning to action Week 14, but the Cardinals will likely delay any decision about Edmonds' availability until seeing how he checks out during practices Thursday through Saturday. Whether he's reinstated from IR this week or later down the road, Edmonds will likely step back into a timeshare out of the backfield with James Conner, who has taken on a three-down role while the former has been sidelined for the past month.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury anticipates Edmonds (ankle) returning for a Week 14 matchup with the Rams on Mon., Dec. 13, Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic reports.

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 Cardinals. He's subsequently missed two games and a bye, and will 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 the timeshare once Edmonds is deemed healthy.

Edmonds (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Saturday's move was expected after Edmonds sustained a high-ankle sprain in last week's win over the 49ers. The 25-year-old won't be eligible to return until mid-December, while James Conner and Eno Benjamin should take on increased workloads in his absence.

Edmonds (ankle) will be placed on short-term injured reserve by the Cardinals, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Edmonds has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, and he'll have to miss two additional contests once placed on IR. On the bright side, Pelissero notes that the Cardinals are optimistic Edmonds will be able to return immediately after the three-game absence, which equates to four weeks because the Cardinals have their bye in Week 12. In Edmonds' absence, James Conner should see the majority of snaps in Arizona's backfield, with Eno Benjamin on hand in a change-of-pace role.

Edmonds (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Edmonds picked up a high-ankle sprain during the Cardinals' Week 9 win at San Francisco. With a recovery timetable of 3-to-4 weeks, he predictably didn't practice Wednesday through Friday before the team ruled him out for Week 10 action. It remains to be seen if Arizona will place him on injured reserve, but such a move would open up a valuable roster spot. For the time being, James Conner will act as the Cards' lead runner, but this offense has been able to accommodate two viable running backs this season, meaning second-year pro Eno Benjamin should earn regular reps while Edmonds is sidelined.

Edmonds isn't practicing Thursday and remains likely to miss 3-to-4 weeks due to the high-ankle sprain he sustained in the Week 9 win over the 49ers, but Arizona has yet to place him on injured reserve, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Additionally, head coach Kliff Kingsbury hasn't officially ruled Edmonds out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, though Kingsbury at least admitted Monday that the running back is unlikely to play Week 10, per Dana Scott of The Arizona Republic reports. A move to injured reserve (and an accompanying three-game absence) is still the most likely outcome for Edmonds, but the Cardinals could be inclined to wait until the end of the week to make the transaction official. Given the lack of established depth behind him, James Conner looks poised to handle a three-down role for Arizona while Edmonds is on the mend.

Emonds underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed a high-ankle sprain, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Edmonds suffered his injury early in Sunday's Week 9 win over the 49ers and is expected to miss 3-4 weeks while he recovers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. 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.

The Cardinals fear that Edmonds may have suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Edmonds was forced out of Sunday's divisional win after injuring his ankle during Arizona's first play. The results of Monday's MRI will confirm the severity of Edmonds' injury, but if he's indeed suffered a high-ankle sprain the Cardinals will likely place him on short-term IR. Rapoport notes that such injuries generally carry a recovery timetable of 4-6 weeks. James Conner will operate as Arizona's lead running back if Edmonds is forced to miss any amount of time, while Eno Benjamin would be a candidate to step into the No. 2 role.

Edmonds injured his ankle during Sunday's game at San Francisco, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Edmonds limped off the field slowly in the early moments of the contest. At the time of his departure, he had one carry for three yards. As long as Edmonds is sidelined, James Conner will be the Cardinals' lead runner, and with Jonathan Ward (concussion) inactive Sunday, Eno Benjamin is the only other RB available to the offense.

Edmonds (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

After being limited in the Cardinals' first two Week 9 practices due to the shoulder issue, Edmonds received the green light for Sunday after practicing in full Friday. Meanwhile, the two most important members of the Cardinals' passing attack -- quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) and wideout DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) -- are listed as questionable after failing to practice in any fashion, with head coach Kliff Kingsbury terming both as game-day decisions leading up to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. The potential absence of Murray in particular could prompt Kingsbury to opt for a more run-heavy approach Sunday, which could translate to more touches for Edmonds and James Conner out of the backfield.

Edmonds (shoulder) logged a limited practice Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Edmonds is operating under a cap on his reps this week, likely due to the play in which he left last Thursday's game against the Packers in discomfort after getting tackled. 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. If Edmonds' health remains a concern heading into the weekend, there's a chance he could be the player to take a backseat at running back. Still, it's difficult to project the Edmonds-Conner breakdown, especially with a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff on tap Sunday in San Francisco.

Edmonds was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Edmonds left last Thursday's eventual loss to the Packers after a six-yard run early in the fourth quarter, but he was back on the field three plays later and finished out the game. He paced Cardinals runnings backs with 59 percent snap share and 10 touches, while James Conner received 37 percent and five touches. Such a breakdown has been the norm for this backfield this season, but it'll be interesting to see if Edmonds' injury will result in role reversals for the two, as happened back in Week 6 (Edmonds had 36 percent, and Conner handled 54 percent of plays).

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.

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. The scoring scamper was Edmond's first visit to the end zone of the season, and he also notably got back to logging multiple receptions after seeing a five-game season-opening streak of such tallies snapped in Week 6. Edmonds will hope for a bigger overall workload in a Week 9 road matchup against the 49ers a week from Sunday.

Edmonds carried the ball 15 times for 81 yards and caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 31-5 win over the Texans.

He was Arizona's leading rusher on the afternoon, although James Conner was also productive with 64 rushing yards and a TD. Edmonds is still looking for his first score of the year, but he's collected at least 75 scrimmage yards in five of seven games heading into a Week 8 clash with the Packers.

Edmonds (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Houston, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Edmonds even closed out the practice week as a full participant, after being limited throughout October. The Cardinals may have enough to keep both Edmonds and James Conner happy this Sunday against the one-win Texans.

Edmonds (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Edmonds has been a productive member of the Cardinals' sixth-ranked run offense this season and aided in the team's fourth-ranked scoring offense. But he's tending to a shoulder injury for a third straight week, which has contributed to his two lowest yards from scrimmage tallies of the season in Weeks 5 and 6 (16 touches for a combined 84 total yards). Edmonds may enter the weekend with a designation next to his name, but considering he hasn't missed any games to date he should be out there Sunday against the Texans as the 1A runner for Arizona with 1B James Conner.

Edmonds (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

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 side of the RB equation in Arizona, turning 28 touches into 108 yards from scrimmage and one TD. As long as Edmonds is injured, his reality may be playing second fiddle to Conner.

Edmonds turned four carries into 46 yards and three catches (on four targets) into four yards during Sunday's 37-14 win at Cleveland.

Edmonds' first touch of the game was a 40-yard run on the Cardinals' initial possession. Thereafter, they were sporadic, with none of the six coming after halftime. Part of that was due to game flow, with Arizona sporting a lead of double-digit points from the 4:30 mark of the first quarter for the rest of the contest. With that reality, 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 to a season-low snap share (36 percent) and touch count. Assuming he's healthier this weekend, he should take on the larger share of offensive plays over Conner on Sunday against the Texans.

Edmonds (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday at Cleveland, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

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.

Edmonds (shoulder) is expected to play Sunday against the Browns, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Edmonds was listed as questionable for the contest after being limited at practice this past week, but it appears as though 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' inactives prior to the team's 4:05 ET kickoff.

Edmonds (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest in Cleveland, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

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 a 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 Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's available, Edmonds likely will work in a similar timeshare with Conner to the Week 5 breakdown.

Edmonds (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The shoulder issue resulted in Edmonds being labeled as a game-time decision ahead of the Week 5 matchup with the 49ers, but he proceeded to suit up in the Cardinals' 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 would likely allow Edmonds to enter the weekend without an injury designation.

Edmonds (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

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 TD on a 48 percent snap share. Edmonds tended to a hamstring issue last week, so his current shoulder concern will be one to monitor as the weekend draws closer.

Edmonds (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the 49ers.

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) is expected to play Sunday against the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The Cardinals officially listed Edmonds as questionable after he returned to a limited practice Friday, in the wake of missing Wednesday and Thursday's sessions. Confirmation of Edmonds' status will arrive upon the release of inactives ahead of Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff, but it he ends up limited or out versus San Francisco, James Conner would be in line for added backfield work in Week 5.

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.

The official designation became a forgone conclusion when coach Kliff Kingsbury called Edmonds a game-time decision earlier Friday after the running back returned to practice (he missed 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. Backup RB Eno Benjamin (hamstring) is also questionable, leaving Conner and Jonathan Ward as the truly healthy backfield options for the Cards. Edmonds, if he plays, is still probably the safest bet for production, while Conner has been more all-or-nothing with his reliance on goal-line touchdowns.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Friday that Edmonds will be a game-time decision for Sunday against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

His return to practice Friday, though likely in a limited capacity, gives him a shot to avoid his first missed game since Nov. 2019. Shared workloads have helped Edmonds stay healthy since then, and it is possible the Cardinals give him fewer snaps/touches than usual if he plays 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 43.0 rushing yards and 6.5 receiving yards per game. Conner should be good for more than that if Edmonds ends up on the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Edmonds (shoulder) is on the field for Friday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

A return to practice after missing 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.

Edmonds (shoulder) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Edmonds has yet to join any drills at practice this week, but he was spotted working on the side during the portion of Thursday's session open to the media, per Urban. 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. Elsewhere in Arizona's backfield, No. 2 RB James Conner returned to practice Thursday after taking off Wednesday due to a personal matter.

Edmonds didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder issue, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Both Edmonds and James Conner were listed as non-participants, but the latter's absence was attributed to personal reasons. Edmonds wasn't tasked with a regular and large workload 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. The elevated reps may be to blame for his current injury, but he'll look to get past it by week's end in order to play Sunday against the 49ers.

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.

He did a lot of his damage in the fourth quarter as the Cards were grinding down the clock, including 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.

Edmonds notched 11 carries for 26 yards and gathered in seven of eight passes for 49 yards during Sunday's 31-19 win at Jacksonville.

Edmonds continued to outpace James Conner in offensive snaps (44 versus 25 of 67) 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 in the region. Edmonds appears to be the more reliable option on a weekly basis due to his dual-threat ability, but there will be weeks in which Conner is more productive from a fantasy perspective due to the aforementioned work inside the 20-yard line.

Edmonds turned eight carries into 46 yards and five receptions (on five targets) for 29 yards during Sunday's 34-33 victory versus the Vikings.

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. In any case, it's clear Edmonds is in a split backfield, which likely will inhibit his output certain weeks.

Edmonds ran for 63 yards on 12 carries at Tennessee on Sunday while catching four receptions for 43 yards on four targets.

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 theory worked 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 late. The difference is that Conner didn't draw a single target, so the former Pittsburgh runner might disappear from the box score in games where the Cardinals need to throw more often. Edmonds, by contrast, should remain the lead Arizona running back regardless of the game scenario. His Week 2 matchup with Eric Kendricks and the Vikings might not be ideal, but Edmonds is an unconditional part of the Arizona offense and the Cardinals offense sure looked good Sunday.

Edmonds enters the 2021 season as the No. 1 running back on the Cardinals' depth chart.

In the one preseason game in which Edmonds and offseason acquisition James Conner played together in August, Edmonds earned seven snaps on offense to the latter's six. Neither was targeted, while Edmonds had one three-yard carry to Conner's two rushes for one yard. Not much was learned about the potential breakdown of backfield reps between the two for the regular season, but coach Kliff Kingsbury has since told Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site, "We see it as 1A and 1B, either one can come in and start games for us and get the lion's share of the touches." That's not exactly great news to hear from a fantasy perspective, but Edmonds' experience under Kingsbury and Conner's voluminous medical chart may allow the former to be the main RB more weeks than not in Arizona.

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.

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. He's expected to form a backfield tandem with James Conner (COVID-19/toe) come Week 1, but Conner's inability to stay healthy during his career could lead to Edmonds seeing a big workload at times.

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.

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. The Cardinals still may add another RB during the upcoming draft, but Edmonds likely has the upper hand for more work between him and Conner considering the latter's injury history (he's played 50 of a possible 64 contests).

Edmonds compiled career highs in carries (97), catches (53) and yards from scrimmage (850) during the 2020 campaign.

Edmonds was aided on the carry front when starting running back Kenyan Drake logged his only absence of the season Week 9, racking up 25 rushes in that contest. 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 is a key cog of the Cardinals offense under coach Kliff Kingsbury, and the RB enters the offseason as the most highly regarded player at the position under contract in 2021 with Drake set to be an unrestricted free agent. Depending on how Arizona proceeds with its backfield in free agency and the draft, Edmonds could be its lead option in the fall.

Edmonds (hip) is active for Sunday's road game versus the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

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.

There is "optimism" that Edmonds (hip) will suit up Sunday against the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Per the report, Edmonds is viewed as a game-time decision for Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff and if he is able to give it a go, he'll continue to work in tandem with Kenyan Drake out of Arizona's backfield in Week 17.

Edmonds (hip) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site, coach Kliff Kingsbury said Edmonds and WR Larry Fitzgerald (groin) will be game-time decisions ahead of the 4:25 ET kickoff. Neither logged any level of practice participation this week, but Edmonds did suit up last week after two DNPs and one limited session. He was then forced out after 16 snaps and two touches in the 20-12 loss to San Francisco, suffering a hip injury to add to the ankle and knee issues that put him on the injury report in the first place. DJ Foster stepped in to play 17 snaps behind Kenyan Drake last week, finishing with one carry and no targets.

Edmonds (hip) was held out of practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

In the 13 games in which a healthy Edmonds has spelled starting running back Kenyan Drake this season, Edmonds has averaged 8.8 touches for 56.1 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring five TDs. After leaving this past Sunday's game versus the 49ers in the first half with a hip issue, though, he has yet to step foot on the practice field. If he fails to get all the way back and misses his first contest of the campaign Week 17 against the Rams, the aforementioned reps likely will fall on Drake and D.J. Foster.

Edmonds (hip) wasn't present for Thursday's practice and is expected to go down as a non-participant on the Cardinals' official report, Kyle Odegard of the team's official site reports.

Edmonds' lack of activity at the Cardinals' first two practices of Week 17 is worrisome ahead of Sunday's must-win game against the Rams, but the running back will attempt to get in some reps Friday before Arizona decides on his status for the regular-season finale. The hip issue resulted in Edmonds being removed early in the Cardinals' Week 16 loss to the 49ers, allowing top back Kenyan Drake to handle a slightly larger snap share than he normally would.

Edmonds (hip) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Edmonds has been tending to multiple injuries for the past few weeks, with Week 17 prep being hindering by a hip issue. He managed one limited session last week before being active this past Saturday versus the 49ers, but he lasted just 16 snaps before departing in the first half, ending his day with two catches (on three targets) for 18 yards. Kenyan Drake took on a larger workload (52 offensive snaps, 20 touches) in Edmonds' stead, while D.J. Foster saw his most significant run of the season (17 such plays, one carry). If Edmonds is unable to go Week 17 against the Rams, the Cardinals likely will have a similar breakdown of work between Drake and Foster.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Edmonds (hip) is "day-to-day," Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Edmonds was forced out of Saturday's loss to the 49ers due to a hip injury, and he entered the contest with both ankle and knee issues. If he can't go against the Rams in Week 17, Jonathan Ward and D.J. Foster will operate as backups to Kenyan Drake.

Edmonds (hip) won't return to Saturday's game against the 49ers, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Arizona Republic reports.

Edmonds caught two passes for eight yards before departing in the second quarter. Kenyan Drake is the clearcut lead back for the rest of the game, while Jonathan Ward and D.J. Foster should rotate in occasionally.

Edmonds left Saturday's game against the 49ers with a hip injury and is deemed questionable to return.

Edmonds left early in the first half with an apparent hip injury. Kenyan Drake will take on an extended role with Jonathan Ward possibly getting additional snaps.

Edmonds (ankle/knee) is active for Saturday's game versus the 49ers.

Edmonds again will take the field somewhat compromised, marking his second straight contest doing so. In Week 15, he racked up 14 touches for 66 yards from scrimmage and a receiving TD. Edmonds will continue to work in tandem with Kenyan Drake out of the Cardinals backfield.

Edmonds (ankle/knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Edmonds played through the ankle injury in last week's win over the Eagles, but he seemingly tweaked his knee along the way. With the Cardinals facing a quicker turnaround for the Week 16 contest, Edmonds' pair of injuries kept him sidelined in practices Tuesday and Wednesday before he returned to the field in a limited fashion Thursday. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury hasn't indicated if the limited workout will be enough for Edmonds to gain clearance for Saturday, so fantasy managers will want to check back in on the running back's status leading up to the 4:30 p.m. kickoff. If Edmonds can't go this weekend, Kenyan Drake would likely be in store for one of his biggest snap shares of the season while filling a three-down role out of the backfield.

Edmonds (ankle/knee) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

Last week, Edmonds was contained to one limited practice session due to an ankle injury before he was eventually deemed active for Week 15 against the Eagles and handled his second-highest touch count (14) of the season. On this occasion, he hasn't taken the practice field yet, the result of ankle and knee issues. Edmonds has one more chance to prove his health this week before the Cardinals give him a designation for Saturday's game versus the 49ers.

Edmonds (ankle/knee) wasn't present for the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

What Edmonds is able to do at practice Thursday will thus be telling with regard to his status for Saturday's game against the 49ers. Edmonds is back on the fantasy radar heading into Week 16, after carrying 11 times for 47 yards and catching three of five his targets for 19 yards and a TD in this past Sunday's win over the Eagles.

Edmonds (ankle/knee) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The third-year running back didn't practice until Friday last week, but he recorded 66 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown while running ahead of Kenyan Drake in a win over the Eagles on Sunday. It's possible that he's following a similar regimen, although it's worth noting that the knee injury is a new addition for Edmonds. If he can get on the field by Thursday's practice, he'll have a decent chance to play Saturday against the 49ers.

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.

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.

Edmonds (ankle) is listed as active Sunday against the Eagles.

The Cardinals proceeded with caution this week, holding Edmonds out of practice until Friday, when he logged a limited session. Considered a game-time decision, he put in a pregame workout to determine whether he was fit to go on his ankle. With his status confirmed for Week 15, Edmonds will work in tandem with Kenyan Drake out of the backfield, likely capped at the 8.4 touches per game in which he's acted as the latter's backup.

Edmonds (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com suggests Edmonds could be a game-time decision, while Urban reports that the team could make the call after the running back works out Saturday morning/afternoon. Of course, the Cardinals won't necessarily broadcast their decision to the public even if they know ahead of time, so we may not have a clear read on Edmonds' status until the team releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the 4:05 ET kickoff Sunday. Kenyan Drake likely would take on extra work if Edmonds were to miss the game, while Jonathan Ward, Eno Benjamin and D.J. Foster would be the candidates for backup work.

Edmonds (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Edmonds was absent Wednesday and Thursday, but it now seems his ankle injury isn't too serious, with Urban relaying that the running back was "moving around pretty well" during Friday's practice. There was no sign of any problem last week in a 26-7 win over the Giants, as Edmonds took 11 touches for 53 yards while playing 51 percent of offensive snaps. Even if he's expected to play, he'll likely be listed on the Friday injury report after missing back-to-back practices. Kenyan Drake likely would take on more snaps if Edmonds were to miss Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Edmonds (ankle) was unable to practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Edmonds kicked off the session with a workout on a side field, and ultimately he was a non-participant for a second straight day. Coach Kliff Kingsbury suggested Wednesday that Edmonds will be a game-time call for Sunday's contest against the Eagles, a decision that will be made approximately 90 minutes before the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If Edmonds does sit out this weekend, Kenyan Drake likely will take on a larger workload than normal, considering the only other Cardinals RB to earn a touch this season is practice squad member D.J. Foster.

Edmonds (ankle) was working out on a side field during the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, suggesting he'll be listed as a non-participant for the session, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

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. Should Edmonds' ankle injury prevent him from suiting up Week 15, top back Kenyan Drake would likely take on a heftier snap share after playing between 45 and 56 percent of the Cardinals' offensive plays in each of the past five weeks.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Edmonds (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Eagles, Kevin Zimmerman of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Edmonds made a surprise appearance on Wednesday's practice report as a non-participant due to an ankle injury. When acting as Kenyan Drake's direct backup this season, Edmonds has averaged 8.4 touches per game in those 12 outings. If those reps suddenly are up for grabs, it's anyone's guess who among Jonathan Ward (shoulder), rookie seventh-rounder Eno Benjamin or practice squad member D.J. Foster would be in line for those snaps.

Edmonds didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Edmonds is among the more utilized No. 2 running backs in the NFL, averaging 8.4 touches per game in the 12 contests in which starter Kenyan Drake has been active this season. Meanwhile, the only other Cardinals running back to garner touches this season -- D.J. Foster with two -- resides on the practice squad. There's no indication that Edmonds is in danger of sitting out Sunday versus the Eagles, but his status now is of interest as the Cardinals prepare for Week 15.

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.

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) -- while 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.

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.

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 54-yard kick return that helped set up Arizona's final TD of the day. As long as Drake is healthy, Edmonds will find it difficult to reach 10 touches per game (he's done it three times in 11 games with Drake active).

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.

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 latter still has utility when used as a complementary option out of Arizona's backfield.

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.

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, although 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 does now have multiple receptions in four straight contests and has crossed the goal line three times as a receiver, which continues to give him fantasy utility in deeper full PPR formats. He'll look to put together another productive effort versus the Patriots in a Week 12 road tilt on Sunday, Nov. 29.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Edmonds reeled off a 32-yard run, 21-yard catch-and-run and another 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 during the latter's absence, he'll be a must-start in the short term. Any reps that remain will be taken by 2020 seventh-rounder Eno Benjamin, undrafted rookie Jonathan Ward and potentially practice-squad RB D.J. Foster.

Edmonds could be in line for a larger workload following a potentially-serious injury to starter Kenyan Drake in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Seahawks.

Drake had to be carted off the field late in the 4th quarter following what appeared to be a potentially-serious ankle injury that had the running back in tears. Edmonds was already having a great game prior to his teammate's injury, rushing five times for 58 yards and catching all seven of his targets for 87 yards. The 24-year-old is averaging 6.1 yards per carry and 8.5 yards per reception as the Cardinals' change-of-pace/third-down back. Even if those averages took a slight hit with a larger workload, Edmonds would still project to have a high fantasy ceiling as the starter in this dynamic offense. Arizona is entering its bye week, but if Drake's ankle injury keeps him sidelined past Week 8, then Edmonds would immediately become a must-start fantasy asset.

Edmonds had five carries for 23 yards and one reception (on two targets) for six yards during Monday's 38-10 win at Dallas.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Sunday's more often than not.

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.

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.

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.

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 final two seasons at Arizona State.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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 Saints squad. Still, with newcomers Alfred Morris and Zach Zenner the only healthy options behind him, Edmonds should dominate the snaps and perhaps see an expanded role in the passing game. Schefter's report adds that Johnson is also unlikely to be available for the Cardinals' Thursday night game against the 49ers in Week 9, so Edmonds could be looking at a two-game run in the starting lineup.

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

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.

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.

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 have given up the 10th-most fantasy points to running backs, including 33 catches for 347 yards on 36 targets (9.6 YPT).

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

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.
