Gus Edwards Limited In Practice Wednesday
4 weeks agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Edwards missed four games with the injury before returning in Week 10 so his presence on the injury report this early in the week is no surprise. Edwards was solid in his return in Week 10. He rushed 10 times for 55 yards. He only played 25% of the snaps so the Chargers were intentional with his playing time. Edwards has racked up 168 yards rushing on 3.5 yards per carry in five games this season. He was superseded by running back J.K. Dobbins before his injury earlier in the year. Additionally, Dobbins received eight more opportunities than Edwards in Week 11. As such, Edwards has been relegated to a status as a high-quality insurance running back. If anything were to happen to Dobbins, then Edwards would likely see a huge boost in volume. Unfortunately for Edwards, he will not see a significant enough role as long as Dobbins is healthy. Edwards appears on track to play on Sunday, but he should either be at the end of your bench or on waivers.
