The 29-year-old linebacker did not practice all week after having surgery on a broken hand. Edwards played 234 defensive snaps during the past four games, logging 27 total tackles (12 solo) and three passes defended.

Edwards (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Edwards missed the team's regular-season opener against the Vikings on Monday while nursing a hamstring injury. The linebacker will look to increase his participation at the Bears' two remaining practices prior to Sunday's matchup with the Lions.

Edwards and fellow free-agent signee Tremaine Edmunds are expected to be the anchors of the revamped Chicago linebacker group, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

The Bears added Edwards in free agency, signing him to a three-year contract. After recording a career-high 159 tackles with the Eagles last year as a middle linebacker, he's expected to move to the weak side, which could impact the high tackle total he had last year.

A native of the Chicago area, Edwards mostly played middle linebacker for the Eagles but could slide over to the weak side for the Bears if they want to keep Jack Sanborn (ankle) in the middle after his solid showing as a rookie in 2022. Edwards' contract reportedly is for $19.5 million over three years, including $12 million in guarantees.

Edwards finished the season with 159 tackles, including 99 solo tackles, and a pair of sacks.

Edwards' tackle total led his team and tied him for seventh in the league. He improved on an already strong 2021 campaign, in which he tied for 15th in the league with 130 tackles. Edwards will be a free agent after the season, and the Eagles would presumably love to have him back, though his strong back-to-back seasons mean he could be due for a big raise.

Edwards logged 11 tackles (nine solo) during Sunday's 20-10 defeat versus the Saints.

Edwards once again finished as the Eagles' leading tackler while also posting double-digit stops for the eighth time this season.

Edwards amassed 14 tackles (eight solo) in Saturday's 40-34 loss to the Cowboys.

Edwards was on the field for all but four of Philadelphia's defensive snaps this past weekend in Dallas, and he matched his previous season-high 14 tackles in the contest.

Edwards recorded nine tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 25-20 win over the Bears.

Edwards logged more than seven tackles for the first time in four weeks, as he wound up playing nearly every defensive snap in this unexpectedly narrow win. Edwards is still far and away the Eagles' leading tackler this season with 124, and he is now seven stops shy of setting a new career high in this category. Edwards should have a very good chance to do just this while facing the Cowboy's prolific rushing offense Week 16.

Edwards tallied six tackles (two solo), including a tackle for loss, and one pass defended during Sunday's 48-22 win against the Giants.

Edwards wound up playing a season-low 75 percent of the Eagles' defensive snaps, as the team went up 41-14 midway through the fourth quarter. The linebacker has now logged exactly six tackles during back-to-back blowout wins.

Edwards recorded a team-leading six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's victory over the Titans.

Edwards' tackle total matched his season low but was still enough to lead the team. He has just one takeaway on the season and two sacks, but he continues to be the best on the team at bringing down the ball carrier.

Edwards recorded six tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 40-33 win over the Packers.

Edwards tied his season low for tackles while playing every defensive snap for the first time since Week 1. However, the linebacker still tied safety Reed Blankenship for a team high in stops Week 12, as the Packers' offense ran just 49 plays against the Eagles.

Edwards recorded 10 tackles (six solo), including two for loss, and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 17-16 win over the Colts.

Edwards recorded his fourth double-digit tackle outing over his last five appearances and his sixth overall. Across 10 games, the fourth-year linebacker has totaled 96 stops, five pass defenses, two sacks and one fumble recovery.

Edwards recorded 12 tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 31-22 defeat versus the Commanders.

Edwards notched his fifth double-digit tackle performance of the season.

Edwards recorded seven tackles and one tackle for a loss in Thursday's 29-17 win over the Texans.

Edwards was on the field for nearly every defensive play and has maintained a snap rate of over 90 percent in all eight of Philadelphia's games.

Edwards recorded eight tackles during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Cardinals.

Edwards' eight stops were good for third on the team and gave him 41 tackles through five games.

Edwards will look to continue his strong play against the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Week 6.

Edwards recorded six tackles (four solo) and one sack during the Eagles' 29-21 win over the Jaguars.

Edwards notched a team-high six tackles and his second sack of the season, as Philadelphia's defense held Jacksonville to just 219 total yards over 46 offensive plays.

Edwards corralled a game-high 10 tackles in Sunday's matchup against Washington, while he also contributed one of Philadelphia's nine sacks on the day.

Edwards recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) and one pass defended in Monday's 24-7 victory over the Vikings.

Edwards was all over the field during the Eagles' dominant defensive performance Monday, as he tallied double-digit tackles for the first time this season.

Edwards had seven tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 38-35 win over the Lions.

The Eagles were gashed for 181 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, but Edwards made some key tackles to help stem the bleeding just enough for Philadelphia's offense to pick up the slack. Edwards had 130 tackles last season, so the middle linebacker should produce plenty of similar outings this season if he can stay healthy.

Edwards (forearm) is fully recovered from his forearm injury suffered in the Eagles' wild-card loss to the Buccaneers, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Edwards played a significant role on the Eagles' defense beginning in Week 9 last season, where he played at least 88 percent of the defensive snaps from that point on. Although Edwards is not expected to keep that prominent of a role, he should still be a main fixture of the Eagles' defense in 2022.

Edwards (forearm) totaled 130 tackles (64 solo), a sack, an interception, a fumble recovery and five pass defenses across 16 games in 2021.

Edwards sat out the Eagles' Week 18 matchup against Dallas since the team had clinched a playoff spot, and he was forced out of the wild-card loss to the Buccaneers due to a forearm injury. However, he topped 100 tackles for the first time in his career during his third professional season. Assuming his forearm injury doesn't significantly impact his availability ahead of the 2022 campaign, the 25-year-old should play a prominent role in Philadelphia's defense once again next year.

Edwards (forearm) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers.

Edwards totaled six tackles before leaving the wild-card matchup in the first half. Shaun Bradley has been tasked with trying to replace the starting middle linebacker, who finished second on the team with 130 tackles during the regular season.

Edwards (forearm) is questionable to return Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Edwards racked up six tackles (four solo) before leaving the wild-card matchup in the first half with a forearm injury. The third-year pro out of Wisconsin finished the regular season with 130 tackles across 16 appearances, so his potential absence would be a huge blow for Philadelphia's defense. Shaun Bradley has replaced him for the time being.

Edwards recorded 16 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Giants.

Edwards posted a season high in tackles and lead the Eagles in stops Sunday.

Since he started playing a majority of the snaps, Edwards has averaged 10.5 tackles per game.

Edwards logged 11 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 33-18 win over the Jets.

Edwards led the Eagles in tackles during Sunday's victory, and he's now racked up double-digit tackles in four of the last six weeks. During that time, he's totaled 62 tackles (34 solo), an interception, a fumble recovery and three pass defenses.

Edwards (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

Edwards was a full participant in Friday's practice and will be able to play in Week 13 after he was limited by an ankle injury early in the week. He'll likely take on a starting role once again Sunday.

Edwards was listed as a limited participate at Wednesday's walkthrough due to an ankle injury.

Edwards apparently picked up the ankle injury during Sunday's loss to the Giants, but it doesn't appear to be a serious concern. The 25-year-old should be able to avoid an injury designation for this weekend's matchup with the Jets if he can practice fully Thursday or Friday.

Edwards signed a one-year contract extension with the Eagles on Monday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Edwards is in the midst of a career-best season, and he's racked up double-digit tackles in three of the last four games. During Sunday's win over the Saints, he totaled 10 tackles (seven solo), an interception, a fumble recovery and two pass defenses. The 25-year-old has spent the first three seasons of his career with the Eagles, and he'll be rewarded with a new deal that will keep him in Philadelphia for at least one more year.

Edwards racked up seven tackles and one pass deflection during Sunday's 30-13 win over the Broncos.

After totaling 27 tackles over his two previous contests, Edwards' seven-tackle performance left fantasy managers wanting more. However, as long as the 25-year-old remains the starting middle linebacker for the Eagles, he will likely remain a high-floor option in IDP leagues.

Edwards is listed as the Eagles' top middle linebacker heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Edwards already looked to be trending toward a promotion atop the depth chart after he amassed 13 tackles while playing a season-high 66 percent of the Eagles' defensive snaps in the team's Week 8 win over the Lions. The team's previous starter, Eric Wilson, was a healthy inactive for that contest before he was ultimately released Wednesday, clearing the way for Edwards to handle a full-time role moving forward. Rookie third-round pick Davion Taylor is also expected to benefit from increased snaps following Wilson's release.

Edwards totaled 13 tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 44-6 win over the Lions.

Edwards started for the sixth time this season and led Philadelphia's linebackers by playing 41 of 62 defensive snaps. The 25-year-old had 32 tackles through seven games entering Sunday's contest, and he'll need to continue with that higher level of production to be an IDP option.

Edwards notched 70 tackles (37 solo), two sacks, one defended pass, one interception and two forced fumbles in 12 games in 2020.

Edwards more than doubled his rookie totals despite playing in four less contests. The 24-year-old posted two double-digit tackle performances in 2020, giving him some upside in IDP fantasy formats, but usually his usage as a run stopper wasn't enough to make up for his lack of regular sacks or defensed passes.

Edwards (hamstring) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Cardinals.

After sitting out last week's win over the Saints, Edwards will return to the lineup. The second-year linebacker is expected to start at middle linebacker. He'll be responsible for containing Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, along with running backs Kenyan Drake and Chase Edmonds. Over his past five games, Edwards has registered 41 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble.

Edwards (hamstring) was limited in practice Wednesday.

Edwards has battled a hamstring injury for much of the season, missing four games as a result, including last week's win over the Saints.

Edwards (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Saints.

Edwards has started at middle linebacker in every game he's played this season, but he's had trouble staying healthy, specifically with his hamstring. This second-year player will miss his fourth game of the season as a result. Shaun Bradley is the likely replacement this week.

Edwards (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

Edwards sat out three games earlier this season with a hamstring injury. It's unclear if his current injury is related, but he's on the wrong track to start the week. The Wisconsin product has cemented himself as the starting middle linebacker recently, and he may be unavailable for Sunday's matchup against the Saints. Shaun Bradley could bump into a starting role if that's the case.

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

Edwards had his practice reps capped to begin the week, but he was a full participant Friday. He's on track to draw his usual start at middle linebacker against the Packers.

Edwards (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Edwards spent three games on injured reserve earlier this year with a hamstring injury before returning in Week 8. It's unclear if his current injury is related, but soft-tissue injuries are always a cause for concern. Duke Riley and Davion Taylor are candidates to fill in at middle linebacker if Edwards can't play against the Packers this Sunday.

Edwards recorded 13 tackles -- two for a loss -- a sack and a forced fumble in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Cowboys.

Edwards missed the previous three games with a hamstring injury, but he returned to action and started at middle linebacker. The Wisconsin product produced career-high in snap share (78 percent) and tackles, and he notched his first sack of the year. The 24-year-old has locked up the starting job moving forward, so he's worth keeping an eye on in IDP fantasy formats.

Edwards (hamstring) was activated after injured reserve Saturday.

After missing three weeks due to a hamstring injury, the Eagles have announced the 24-year-old will play in Sunday's game against the Cowboys. With Edwards returning to the Eagles' defense, he should hopefully help improve a mundane rush defense.

Edwards (hamstring) will likely be activated for Sunday's game against Dallas, Mike Kaye of NJ.com reports.

Edwards should slot into Nate Gerry's spot in the lineup now that the latter has been placed on IR with an ankle injury. The 24-year-old has missed the last three weeks due to his own injury, but he has been productive when on the field and is now looking at a significant uptick in playing time.

Edwards (hamstring) returned to practice Monday, indicating the beginning of his 21-day window to be activated from IR.

Philadelphia's run defense has underwhelmed this season, allowing 152 yards on the ground per game and 11 total touchdowns. Edwards is expected to return to a starting middle linebacker role as long as he makes it through the week without a setback, and he'll be counted on to help turn the defense around. Through the first four games of the year, Edwards played more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps just once but still managed to record 15 tackles and a forced fumble.

Edwards (hamstring) is on track to be activated from IR for the Week 8 matchup against Dallas, Mike Kaye of NJ.com reports.

Edwards has spent the requisite amount of time on IR and is apparently back to full health. The second-year linebacker out of Wisconsin is expected to return to practice next during the upcoming week and likely will be activated after a full week of practice without a setback. According to Kaye, the Eagles could make Edwards the starting middle linebacker, which would bump Duke Riley back to the outside and Alex Singleton to a reserve role. It remains to be seen if that's how the rotation actually shakes out, but it's worth keeping an eye on Edwards in IDP formats, as he posted 15 tackles and a forced fumble through the first four games despite playing less than 50 percent of the defensive snaps in three of those outings.

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

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

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

Edwards exited this past Sunday's win over the 49ers with a hamstring injury and likely will sit out Week 5's matchup against the Steelers.

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

Edwards only handled 115 defensive snaps across 16 games as a rookie. Though he officially logged four starts, he never played more than 22 snaps on defense in a single contest. If the undrafted linebacker out of Wisconsin is able to take a step forward in his development heading into the second year of his career, the Eagles could see fit to rely on him to handle an expanded interior role. At the very least, Edwards' ability to contribute on both defense and special teams should secure him a spot on the 53-man roster.

Edwards recorded 30 tackles over 16 regular-season games in 2019.

Although Edwards made four starts, he never played more than 22 defensive snaps in a game. The undrafted rookie out of Wisconsin showcased a strong special-teams presence, as he finished second on the team in special-teams tackles with nine. The Eagles are returning their entire linebacking corps next year, so Edwards is set up for a similar role in his sophomore campaign.
