Chargers' Gus Edwards: Trending toward returning Sunday
Gus Edwards (ankle), who is still listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Titans, was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.As a result, Edwards will likely miss the minimum four games after injuring his ankle back back in Week 4. It'll be interesting to see just how much work the 29-year-old sees with the emergence of rookie Kimani Vidal and the established bell-cow role of J.K. Dobbins, who has 70 carries over the last four weeks.

Chargers' Gus Edwards: Questionable for Week 10
Gus Edwards (ankle) practiced fully Friday and carries a 'questionable' game status for Sunday's contest against the Titans.The Los Angeles Chargers designated Edwards for return from injured reserve Wednesday, and the running back could resume action as soon as this weekend if the team elects to activate him by Saturday afternoon. If Edwards does rejoin the mix in Week 10, in his return he'd presumably work in a complementary role in a Los Angeles backfield that's led by J.K. Dobbins and also includes sixth-round rookie Kimani Vidal.

Chargers' Gus Edwards: Limited in return to practice
Gus Edwards (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.Edwards took part in practice Wednesday after being designated for return from injured reserve earlier in the day. Though the Los Angeles Chargers will have a 21-day window to reinstate Edwards to the active roster, he could be activated from IR as soon as Sunday's game against the Titans, if the team is satisfied with how he looks during practice this week. Regardless of when Edwards returns to game action, J.K. Dobbins should continue to lead the Los Angeles backfield.

Chargers' Gus Edwards: Practice window opening Week 10
The Los Angeles Chargers designated Gus Edwards (ankle) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.Edwards hasn't played since prior to the Chargers' Week 5 bye, but he's eligible to return from IR and will resume practicing ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. Even if he doesn't get activated ahead of the Week 10 contest, Edwards will presumably be added back to the active roster at some point prior to the expiration of the 21-day practice window. Once available, Edwards will step into a backup role behind J.K. Dobbins.

Chargers' Gus Edwards: Lands on IR
Gus 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: Third straight DNP on Friday
Gus Edwards (ankle) remained a non-participant in practice Friday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.Edwards has missed all three of the Los Angeles 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 Wednesday's practice
Gus 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 Los Angeles 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
Gus 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.
