Edwards (knee) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards remains on the Chiefs' sideline and appears to be trying to test his knee, per Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star. In the event that Edwards isn't able to return, Chamarri Conner and Deon Bush could step into larger roles on defense.

Edwards (illness) carries no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards' status for Sunday looked up in the air after logging back-to-back DNPs, but he was a full participant in Friday's practice and seems to be over his illness. Edwards had his most productive game of the season in Week 14 against the Bills when he registered 11 tackles (10 solo) while playing a season-high 71 defensive snaps.

Edwards (illness) will not practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards was also unable to practice Wednesday putting his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots in question. Assuming he can get over his illness in the next couple of days, he should be able to suit it up for the contest. If not, Chamarri Conner would likely step in for Edwards at safety.

Edwards (hamstring) is "one hundred percent" heading into the Chiefs' training camp this month, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards arrived to the Chiefs' facilities early due to a lingering hamstring injury that limited him during OTAs, but the safety appears ready to go now ahead of the team's upcoming training camp. Edwards is entering his first campaign in Kansas City after four years with the Buccaneers, recording a career-high 82 tackles, including a sack, while adding three pass deflections and two interceptions over 13 contests in 2022.

Edwards is dealing with a hamstring injury, according to head coach Andy Reid, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards joined the Chiefs this offseason as a free agent after spending the first four seasons of his career in Tampa Bay. It's unclear when the 27-year-old picked up the injury, but he should be ready by training camp, according to Reid. He's expected to at least compete for the starting job at free safety across from Justin Reid.

Edwards signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards is coming off of the best season of his career, where he set a new high in tackles with 82 (52 solo). The 2019 third-round pick should be in line to start at safety alongside Justin Reid, and he will look to help improve the defending Super Bowl champions' secondary.

Edwards totaled 10 tackles (six solo) and one pass defensed in the Buccaneers' 31-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys on Monday night. He finished the 2022 regular season with 82 tackles (52 solo), one sack, two interceptions -- including a pick-six -- and three defensed passes overall across 13 games.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards checked in second in tackles on the night for the Buccaneers in his return from a one-game absence due to a hip issue, putting a strong cap on what was a productive 2022 campaign overall. The fourth-year safety set a new career high in tackles while recording multiple interceptions for the third straight season, and factoring in Monday's production, he posted four double-digit tackle tallies overall. Edwards is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year in mid-March, and it remains to be seen if he'll be deemed a priority re-signing by the Buccaneers.

Edwards (hip) has been ruled active ahead of Monday's wild-card game against the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards will return to the field after sitting out the regular-season finale against Atlanta with a hip injury. The 26-year-old was a full participant during each practice ahead of Monday's playoff tilt, so it's likely he'll retain his every-down role alongside strong safety Antoine Winfield.
