Edmonds was placed on season-ending injured reserve Monday due to a knee injury, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
The 28-year-old RB won't be designated for a return, meaning the only way he can play this season is if he reaches an injury settlement to be released by Tampa Bay. Edmonds hasn't practiced since the first week of training camp and recently had arthroscopic surgery on his injured knee.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Lands on IR
Rotowire
The Buccaneers placed Edmonds (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Edmonds has been nursing an undisclosed injury throughout training camp, and it will now cost him the 2024 season. As a result, Bucky Irving, Sean Tucker and DJ Williams will be the remaining candidates for a depth role at running back behind Rachaad White. Edmonds was not given the IR designated to return option, so he will now set his sights on recovering for 2025.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: IR stint expected
Rotowire
Coach Todd Bowles indicated this weekend that Edmonds (undisclosed) is likely to begin the coming season on IR, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Edmonds has been sidelined with an unspecified injury that has lingered, and it looks like he'll begin the 2024 campaign on IR, a scenario that would see him miss at least four games out of the gate. In his looming absence, Rachaad White, Bucky Irvingand Sean Tucker profile as Tampa Bay's top backfield options ahead of Week 1.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Not practicing
Rotowire
Edmonds (undisclosed) isn't practicing Tuesday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Edmonds has been out with an undisclosed injury since the start of training camp, with his absence now nearing the one-month mark. Meanwhile, Bucky Irving worked ahead of Tampa Bay's other reserve running backs in each of the first two preseason games, putting him on track to enter Week 1 as the No. 2 RB behind returning starter Rachaad White. It's possible Edmonds won't have a spot on the roster even if he returns to health before cut-down day Aug. 27.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Not practicing yet
Rotowire
Edmonds (undisclosed) has missed nearly two weeks of practice and won't participate Tuesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Edmonds has been nursing an undisclosed injury since the early days of training camp. He was expected to compete with rookie Bucky Irving and others for backup roles behind starting running back Rachaad White, who played 78.1 percent of Tampa Bay's snaps on offense during the 2023 regular season.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Re-ups with Buccaneers
Rotowire
Tampa Bay re-signed Edmonds on Wednesday.
Edmonds returns to a Buccaneers team that trusted him with the No. 2 role behind lead back Rachaad White last season. Across 13 regular-season appearances in 2023, Edmonds rushed 49 times for 176 yards and secured 14 of 17 catches for 81 yards, all without a single touchdown. He could be primed for a similar role in 2024, though Sean Tucker will be a candidate to carve out a larger workload Year 2, and Tampa Bay could still add to the backfield in free agency or April's draft.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Efficient showing to close out '24
Rotowire
Edmonds rushed four times for 19 yards and brought in both targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-23 divisional-round loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Edmonds overcame a questionable tag due to a toe injury to suit up for the postseason contest, and he filled his typically modest No. 2 role behind lead back Rachaad White. The veteran was reasonably effective with his opportunities during a 13-game regular season, recording 176 yards at 3.6 yards per carry and adding a 14-81-0 receiving line. Edmonds then had 11 carries for 31 yards and three receptions for another 26 yards during Tampa Bay's two postseason games. He's slated for unrestricted free agency this offseason after playing 2023 on a one-year deal.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Active for Sunday's game
Rotowire
Edmonds (toe) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Lions.
After being deemed a non-participant in Wednesday's and Thursday's walk-throughs, Edmonds logged a limited session Friday and approached the contest listed as questionable. With his active status versus Detroit confirmed, the running back is available to maintain his complementary role behind starter Rachaad White. As long as White remains healthy, however, Edmonds -- who logged seven carries for 12 yards and one catch for eight yards in the Buccaneers' wild-card win over the Eagles this past Monday -- will profile as a speculative lineup option.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Solid role in wild-card win
Rotowire
Edmonds rushed seven times for 12 yards and brought in one of two targets for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 32-9 wild-card win over the Eagles on Monday night.
Edmonds filled his usual backup role behind Rachaad White. Dating back to Week 14, Edmonds has recorded at least four rush attempts in four of six contests, but his pass-catching work remains extremely modest with the exception of a five-reception tally against the Saints in Week 17. As long as White is healthy in front of him, Edmonds figures to see single-digit touches again in Sunday's divisional-round road matchup versus the Lions.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Breaks off big run Sunday
Rotowire
Edmonds rushed four times for 27 yards and brought in his only target for minus-3 yards in the Buccaneers' 9-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Edmonds gained 21 of his yards on one carry, leading to his second-highest rushing yardage total of the season. The veteran back had a slightly smaller role than he likely envisioned when he signed with the Buccaneers this past offseason, finishing the 2023 campaign with 49 carries for 176 yards and a 14-81-0 line through the air across 13 games. However, Edmonds did see more work over the final five games, and he should continue operating as the primary backup to Rachaad White during the postseason, albeit likely in the same low-volume role.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Heavily involved as receiver
Rotowire
Edmonds rushed three times for 16 yards and brought in five of six targets for 40 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-13 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
One week after recording a season-high 10 carries, Edmonds produced new 2023 high-water marks in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Game script helped lead to Edmonds' expanded opportunity, however, and it's possible the same scenario isn't replicated Week 18 against the lowly Panthers in what is a must-win game for the Buccaneers.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Season-high carry total in win
Rotowire
Edmonds rushed 10 times for 25 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-12 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
The sixth-year veteran's usage shot back up Sunday after he'd followed a 10-touch tally Week 14 with just three carries against the Packers in Week 15. Edmonds' carry total Sunday was a season high and qualified as his most usage on the ground since Week 1 of last season in his Dolphins debut. The encouraging increase in involvement does come with a caveat, however, as it appeared to be largely the byproduct of an extremely positive second-half game script for the Buccaneers' running game.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Usage declines again Sunday
Rotowire
Edmonds carried three times for 13 yards and did not see a target in the Buccaneers' 34-20 win over the Packers on Sunday.
Edmonds' usage had spiked in Week 14, when the versatile veteran had logged 10 total touches in a high-scoring win over the Falcons. However, with Sunday's downturn, which included his first game without a target since Week 2, Edmonds' outlook is once again cloudy, making him a risky fantasy option for what remains of the season.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Season-high usage in win
Rotowire
Edmonds rushed eight times for 40 yards and secured both targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Edmonds' final numbers are likely indicative of the type of opportunity that many, including the running back himself, figured he'd see on a weekly basis once he was acclimated to the Buccaneers offense. Whether his season-high carry, rushing yardage and receiving yardage totals Sunday are the first sign of a growing role or simply an outlier remains to be seen, but Edmonds draws a friendly matchup on paper against the Packers in Week 15.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Nine total yards in win
Rotowire
Edmonds rushed twice for seven yards and brought in his only target for two yards in the Buccaneers' 21-18 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Edmonds was once again a distant second to Rachaad White in touches, logging 18 fewer rush attempts and four fewer targets. The complementary back is a perpetual afterthought in the offense, as he's yet to top four carries or three targets in any of the eight games he's suited up for.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Garners 19 total yards in loss
Rotowire
Edmonds rushed four times for eight yards and brought in his only target for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Edmonds was the only back other than Rachaad White to log a carry for the Buccaneers but unsurprisingly found little running room. He was more successful on his one reception, but with just 14 snaps from scrimmage, the opportunities for Edmonds to make an impact were sparse, even with a game script favorable to his pass-catching prowess. He's logged 18 total touches in four games since returning from a four-game stint on injured reserve, but he remains off the radar in virtually all formats with White enjoying a firm hold on the No. 1 running back job.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Logs five touches Sunday
Rotowire
Edmonds rushed four times for nine yards and brought in his only target for minus-2 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-6 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Edmonds was the only other back besides Rachaad White to log a carry for the Buccaneers, although he was 16 rush attempts behind his backfield mate's tally. Edmonds has logged multiple rush attempts in each of his first three games following an IR stint due to a knee injury, but Sunday's four carries are his single-game high thus far in 2023.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Negative total yards in loss
Rotowire
Edmonds rushed three times for minus-5 yards and and secured his only target for minus-1 yard in the Buccaneers' 39-37 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Edmonds couldn't get anything going with his scant opportunities and logged one fewer carry than Ke'Shawn Vaughn, despite outpacing him by three snaps. Edmonds was still in on only eight offensive plays, however, and with Rachaad White a capable three-down back thanks to his outstanding pass-catching ability, the former's role is likely to remain modest for the time being.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Five touches in return
Rotowire
Edmonds (knee) rushed three times for five yards and brought in two of three targets for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 24-18 loss to the Bills on Thursday.
Edmonds made his return from a four-game absence due to a knee injury and was very busy relative to opportunity. The versatile back logged only eight snaps from scrimmage, so in that context, his five touches were encouraging. Edmonds could continue to see his role expand in coming games, with his next opportunity coming in a Week 9 road matchup against the Texans.

Buccaneers' Chase Edmonds: Activated to roster
Rotowire
The Buccaneers activated Edmonds (knee) from injured reserve Wednesday.
Edmonds was designated for return at the beginning of the week and listed as a full practice participant both Monday and Tuesday. He appears ready to play Thursday at Buffalo, though it isn't quite clear what his role will be given that starter Rachaad White has been better on passing downs than running downs and thus seems to have strengths that overlap with Edmonds'. Ke'Shawn Vaughn has been Tampa Bay's No. 2 back of late, mostly subbing in for White on early downs and taking a handful of carries per game.
