Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Ruled out for Week 15
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Mike 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.

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.

Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Unlikely to play Week 14 vs. Vegas
Mike Edwards suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain during the Tampa Bay 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.
