• Titans' Mario Edwards: Inactive against Texans

  Rotowire Dec 24, 2022

  Edwards (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

However, his role has slipped in recent games as Tennessee's defensive line has gotten healthier, which leaves Edwards as the odd-man out in Week 16.

  Edwards (ribs) logged a full practice Thursday. Edwards missed each of Chicago's last two games and logged a limited session Wednesday, so the latest development is an encouraging sign ahead of his potential availability for Sunday's game against the Packers.

• Bears' Mario Edwards: Out Week 12 with rib injury

  Rotowire Nov 25, 2021

  Edwards is inactive for Thursday's game against the Lions due to a rib injury. Listed as questionable heading into the day, Edwards was listed as a full participant on the Bears' first two practice reports of the week before downgrading to limited activity Wednesday. The step back in terms of on-field reps looks like it was enough to keep Edwards sidelined for the first time since Week 2. When healthy, Edwards has filled a minor rotational role along the defensive line, as he's played no more than 40 percent of the defensive snaps in any of his eight appearances.

• Bears' Mario Edwards: Finds new home

  Rotowire Sep 6, 2020

  Edwards inked a contract with the Bears on Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. The 2015 second-round pick was released by the Saints on Saturday despite appearing in 14 games with the squad during the 2019 campaign.

Last season, Edwards logged just eight tackles (two solo), three sacks and a forced fumble.

• Raiders' Mario Edwards: Suffers right ankle injury

  Rotowire Dec 10, 2017

  Edwards has a right ankle injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. Edwards rotates with Denico Autry at defensive end opposite of Khalil Mack, so Autry will take a bulk of the snaps if Edwards can't return. It's a troubling sign for the Raiders' defensive line, though, as they only have five healthy men to fill four spots.

  Rotowire Nov 7, 2017

  Edwards recorded five tackles (four solo) and 0.5 sacks in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Dolphins. Edwards was dealing with a back injury all week, which limited his participation in practice.
