Dylan Edwards News, Rumors, Updates - Kansas Jayhawks

Quiet as Kansas shows off its depth Edwards logged six rushes for 32 yards and gathered in all four targets for 34 yards during Friday's 51-6 win over LIU Post.

Impact Edwards wasn't the focal point of Kansas' backfield in the opener, as the Jayhawks spread carries around during a comfortable victory. While fantasy managers may have hoped for a larger workload, the game script allowed Kansas to rotate multiple backs and preserve its playmakers. Edwards' explosiveness and versatility still make him an important piece of the offense moving forward. He's worth holding confidently heading into next week's matchup with Missouri, where a more competitive game could lead to a larger role.

Commits to Kansas Edwards has committed to Kansas, Michael Swain of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Switching from Kansas State to Kansas is a bold move for Edwards, but it looks like the running back will test his luck in what will be his third Power Conference after both KSU and Colorado, Pac-12 when he was enrolled there but coincidentally also Big 12 now. In 2024, Edwards logged 546 rushing yards, 7.4 yards per carry and five touchdowns. Despite redshirting 2025, he still recorded 205 rushing yards, 6.0 yards per carry and two TDs. Even with a limited output, Edwards looks to be locked for a big role in the Kansas backfield.

Will redshirt rest of season Edwards (undisclosed) will redshirt and miss the rest of the 2025 season, On3 Sports reports.

Impact Edwards has been limited to just four appearances this season and hasn't played since Week 6. Redshirting allows him to preserve his eligibility for an extra year. This means Joe Jackson and JB Price will handle most of the backfield workload for Kansas State going forward.

Unavailable for Week 10 Edwards (lower body) is out for Saturday's game against Texas Tech, Wyatt Wheeler of The Topeka Capital-Journal reports.

Impact A lower-body injury indicates why Edwards is out. "Dylan [Edwards] wants to play, but his body's not there yet. We have to revisit that, but I want to make sure the kid gets healthy," Kansas State's head coach Chris Klieman recently announced. During the Wildcats' latest game, Week 9 at KU, Joe Jackson logged most of their rushing attempts, 20.

Out again Saturday Edwards (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at Kansas, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Edwards' frustrating season will continue through Week 9 as he will miss his fourth game of the season.

His next chance to suit up is next Saturday versus Texas Tech.

Still iffy ahead of Kansas Edwards (undisclosed) remains a question mark ahead of Kansas State's tilt with Kansas on Saturday, per Kellis Robinett of The Wichita Eagle.

Impact Edwards missed Week 7 against TCU and had a bye week after that to recover, but he remains questionable for the clash with Kansas and head coach Chris Klieman said it's too early in the week to know if Edwards will be available. He reportedly took all of the bye week off to try to recover and get healthy moving forward, but his status for Week 9 remains a mystery.

Unlikely to redshirt Edwards (undisclosed) is unlikely to redshirt his 2025 season, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Only one more game, and 2025 includes Edwards' junior season. He can redshirt, maintaining his collegiate eligibility's third year. However, Edwards' sports agent recently told On3 that the junior is "happy" and "excited" to promptly log games. The running back's 2025 season features two touchdowns using 34 rushing attempts for 205 yards, 6.0 averaged per carry.

Ruled out for Saturday Edwards (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game versus TCU, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Edwards will miss his third game of the season Saturday after he left the Week 6 game early with an undisclosed injury. The Wildcats will be without their star tailback once again, so Joe Jackson will step into that lead role for Saturday's tilt with the Horned Frogs.

Questionable Week 7 Edwards (undisclosed) has been listed as questionable on Kansas State's initial injury report ahead of Saturday's game against TCU.

Impact Edwards, who exited last week's game against Baylor with an unknown injury before making a limited return in the contest, is designated as questionable for Saturday's game against the Horned Frogs. The 5-foot-9 redshirt junior has been limited with injuries all season, but he was an unstoppable force in his only outing with full utilization against UCF in Week 5 (171 total yards and a touchdown). Edwards will continue to have his status monitored leading up to Saturday's game.

OCTOBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still limited for Wildcats Edwards (undisclosed) is still limited for Kansas State moving forward and remains a question mark for Week 7 against TCU, per Wyatt Wheeler of the Topeka Capital-Journal.

Impact Edwards played in Week 6 against Baylor, but was limited and only managed 10 carries for 26 yards and a rushing touchdown along with two catches for 12 yards. Kansas State leaned on Joe Jackson due to not having its star tailback Edwards fully available, and that could continue to be the case in Week 7 against the Horned Frogs. "We'll find out how it goes this week, but it's kind of the story of what our season's been as far as a running back and a wide out being limited. We haven't seen that full arsenal and hopefully we'll see it in time, but I haven't seen it yet," head coach Chris Klieman said.

Injury scare and TD against Baylor Edwards tallied 10 rushes for 26 yards and one touchdown and hauled in all two targets for 12 yards during Saturday's 35-34 defeat against Baylor.

Impact Edwards did briefly leave the game with an injury on the opening drive, however, was able to return and added his second rushing touchdown in the third quarter. It's possible he was somewhat limited as RB Joe Jackson saw a season-high 18 total touches, including six targets in the passing game. Stay tuned to see if Edwards is a full-go against TCU as Kansas State will need all the offensive firepower they can get against the Horned Frogs.

Back in the game Edwards (undisclosed) has returned to action Saturday against Baylor, Wyatt Wheeler of USA Today reports.

Impact Edwards left with an injury on Kansas State's opening drive, though he's since returned to action. The junior is coming off a big performance against UCF, where he logged 166 rushing yards and a touchdown.

OCTOBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Missing in action Saturday Edwards appears to have temporarily departed Saturday's and is questionable to return, Derek reports.

Impact Edward took two carries in the opening drive of the game before Joe Jackson and DeVon Rice finished the drive. No reports indicate the junior running back suffered an injury but his absence in the following drive of the matchup raises a concern. More reports should surface shortly.

OCTOBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back to dominating with 166 yards Edwards recorded 20 rushes for 166 yards and one touchdown and caught his only target for five yards during Saturday's 34-20 win against UCF.

Impact Edwards recorded his first 100-yard rushing performance of the season and appears to finally be healthy after an ankle injury sustained in the season-opener. He showed his explosiveness on a 75-yard score against UCF and he could potentially be one of the best in the country for the rest of the season. Kansas State looks like an entirely different team with a healthy Edwards. He has an excellent match-up at Baylor next week.
