  • Chargers' Gus Edwards: Lands on IR

    Edwards (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Edwards' workload had tailed off in Weeks 3 and 4, as he recorded nine carries for 28 yards in the two prior weeks before the bye. J.K. Dobbins has been a revelation as the team's preferred starting running back, but with Edwards out, it's possible rookie sixth-round pick Kimani Vidal will see his first significant action at the NFL level.

  • Chargers' Gus Edwards: Won't play Sunday

    Edwards (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    With Edwards out versus Denver, Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal are candidates to see added complementary snaps this weekend behind top RB J.K. Dobbins. Edwards thus will target a potential return to action Monday, Oct. 21 against the Cardinals.

  • Chargers' Gus Edwards: Third straight DNP on Friday

    Edwards (ankle) remained a non-participant in practice Friday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Edwards has missed all three of the Chargers' practices, so he'll have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's ruled out on Friday's injury report. Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal could see additional opportunities behind J.K. Dobbins if Edwards doesn't play.

  • Chargers' Gus Edwards: Misses another practice

    Edwards (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.

    Edwards also missed Wednesday's session, so he'll likely need to practice Friday in order to have a chance to play Sunday against the Broncos. If Edwards is limited or out this weekend, Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal would be in line to see added complementary snaps behind top RB J.K. Dobbins.

  • Chargers' Gus Edwards: Misses Wednesday's practice

    Edwards didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

    Edwards' absence from practice comes as a surprise, considering that he wasn't known to be contending with an injury coming out of the Chargers' Week 4 loss to the Chiefs before the team went on bye for Week 5. He'll still have two more opportunities to increase his activity in practice, but if Edwards ends up missing this Sunday's game in Denver, Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal would be candidates to see complementary work behind top back J.K. Dobbins.

  • Chargers' Gus Edwards: Season low in snaps

    Edwards carried the ball six times for 19 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Chiefs.

    The burly running back played a season-low 25 percent of the snaps, which is an alarming number considering the game script was relatively favorable for Los Angeles' run-heavy approach. J.K. Dobbins didn't do a whole lot with the extra carries (14 for 32 yards), but Dobbins has proven to be a significantly more reliable target out of the backfield, which has limited Edwards' fantasy viability.

  • Chargers' Gus Edwards: Dramatic drop-off in carries

    Edwards carried the ball three times for nine yards in the 20-10 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

    It's a dramatic fall-off in touches for Edwards after he tallied 29 carries through the previous two weeks, although he averaged just 2.9 yards a carry on those looks. It's entirely possible the game plan was heavily reliant on the elusiveness and vision of J.K. Dobbins, who didn't do much with his 15 carries (44 yards), but the uneven split is something to monitor with Dobbins excelling to start the season, Sunday notwithstanding.

  • Chargers' Gus Edwards: Heavy workload in win

    Edwards rushed 18 times for 59 yards in the Chargers' 26-3 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Edwards actually outpaced backfield mate J.K. Dobbins by one carry but was markedly less efficient than his teammate. Nevertheless, the Chargers' ability to control both of their first two games and head coach Jim Harbaugh's penchant for the ground attack have combined to afford both backs a solid amount of opportunity to open the season. Dobbins is undoubtedly the more dynamic of the two, however, so Edwards may fall into more of a true complementary role if the game script is different in a Week 3 visit to the Steelers.
