• Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Returns to practice Wednesday

  19H ago • By RotoWire

  Edwards (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Edwards has been sidelined for the Bucs' last two games due to a hamstring strain he suffered in Week 13 against the Panthers. His return to practice Wednesday indicates he is progressing in his recovery, and Edwards will have two more chances to increase his practice participation this week ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

• Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Ruled out for Week 15

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Edwards (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Edwards' hamstring injury will force him to miss a second straight game. With Antoine Winfield (knee) also officially out for Week 15, Tampa Bay's defense will be without both its top safeties. That puts Kaevon Merriweather and Christian Izien (groin), if healthy, both in line for expanded roles Sunday against Los Angeles.

• Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Deemed DNP on Wednesday

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Edwards (hamstring) was estimated as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Edwards hurt his hamstring Week 13 against Carolina and missed Sunday's win over the Raiders. While Wednesday's practice was a walkthrough, it nonetheless doesn't bode well for Edwards' chance of returning Sunday versus the Chargers that he was deemed a non-participant. The Buccaneers' secondary is plagued by injuries at the moment, as Antoine Winfield (knee), Christian Izien (groin) and Tykee Smith (knee), among others, are also currently managing health issues.

• Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Sidelined for Wednesday's practice

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Edwards (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Edwards was diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain following the Bucs' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers this past Sunday. He's expected to be sidelined for Week 14 against the Raiders this Sunday, so his inactivity in Wednesday's practice doesn't come as a surprise. Still, Edwards would give himself a small chance to play if he were to return to practice over the next two days.

• Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Unlikely to play Week 14 vs. Vegas

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Edwards suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain during the Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers this past Sunday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. Edwards was unable to return to this past Sunday's game after straining his hamstring in the first half, and he finished the contest with four tackles (two solo). The Grade 1 strain indicates Edwards avoided a serious injury, but the expectation is that he'll likely be out for at least one week. If he's unable to play against the Raiders on Sunday, Edwards' next opportunity to suit up will be Week 15 against the Chargers on Sunday, Dec. 15. Christian Izien is the top candidate to start at strong safety alongside free safety Antoine Winfield due to Edwards' injury, and the Bucs added depth to the position by signing Kaevon Merriweather off the Lions' practice squad Tuesday.
