Unavailable for season's remainder Edwards (hip) is out for the 2025 season's remainder, Bob Hertzel of The Clarksburg Exponent Telegram reports.

Impact After recently seeing a hip-related specialist, Edwards found out that his injury requires surgery, which is why the student's 2025 season will no longer include more stats. They feature 27 rushing attempts for 143 yards (5.3 averaged per carry) and three touchdowns.

Out for Week 8 Edwards (hip) is out for Saturday's game at Central Florida.

Impact Saturday will mark Edwards' third DNP across West Virginia's last four games. The one game he played saw him log two yards for that many carries and a reception for negative yardage. Edwards will look to bounce back in Week 9, which includes WVU against TCU on Oct. 25.

Remains questionable Edwards (hip) remains questionable as West Virginia gears up to face UCF on Saturday, per Schuyler Callihan of SI.com.

Impact Edwards had a bye week to recover after seeing limited action in Week 6 against BYU, but the Mountaineers' playmaker is still not 100 percent and remains a question mark moving forward. "We're waiting for him to get back. He's going to see a specialist tomorrow down in Alabama because it's still not getting right. And he really wants to play, so we're trying to figure out exactly what's causing the hip to cause him so much pain, so we don't know about him (for this week)," head coach Rich Rodriguez.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Limited snaps against BYU Edwards tallied two carries for two yards and gathered in his only target for negative four yards during Friday's 38-24 loss to Brigham Young.

Impact Edwards saw his first action since the breakout performance against Pitt in Week 3. With just three touches, his snap-count was limited, and it was Diore Hubbard who recorded double-digit carries for the second straight week. Edwards will have some more time to rest up as West Virginia is on a bye next week.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Available vs. BYU Edwards (undisclosed) is available for Friday's game against BYU.

Impact Edwards was initially listed as probable for this game, but the star running back will suit up and should handle his regular workload. Edwards, who has missed WVU's last two games, recorded 25 carries for 141 yards and three touchdowns in his most recent appearances in Week 3 against Pittsburgh.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Week 6 Edwards (undisclosed) is probable for Friday's game against BYU.

Impact Edwards was initially listed as questionable to play Friday, but the bump to probable in his status suggests that the running back should have a good chance to feature against BYU. Edwards, who has missed WVU's last two games, recorded 25 carries for 141 yards and three touchdowns in his most recent appearances in Week 3 against Pittsburgh.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Officially listed as questionable Edwards (undisclosed) is officially listed as questionable for West Virginia's clash with BYU on Friday night, per the Big 12 injury report.

Impact Edwards is officially questionable, though head coach Rich Rodriguez told reporters that he's "more hopeful" the tailback plays in Week 6. In the one game he's played in full, Edwards exploded for 141 yards and three touchdowns against Pitt in the Backyard Brawl. His return could be a big spark for a slumping Mountaineers' offense, but it remains to be seen if that will happen against BYU.

'More hopeful' for this week Edwards (undisclosed) may return in Week 6 as head coach Rich Rodriguez told reporters he is "more hopeful" for this week against BYU on Friday night, per Schuyler Callihan of SI.c...

Impact The only time Edwards has properly seen the field this season, he's been absolutely dynamic, rushing for 141 yards and three scores in the loss to Pitt in the Backyard Brawl. He hasn't suited up since, however, although he appears to have a greater chance to do so this week in a Friday night showdown against BYU. If not, Clay Ash and Tyler Jacklich should continue to hold it down in the Mountaineers' backfield, as well as Cyncir Bowers (concussion) should the latter be available.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

DNP Saturday Edwards (undisclosed) did not play during Saturday's matchup against Utah.

Impact Edwards was previously listed as questionable for Saturday's contest due to an undisclosed injury but was held out for the second consecutive game. The 6-foot-2 running back was coming off a monster performance against Pitt before going down with injury. His next chance to return will come against BYU next week.

Not going through full warmups Edwards (undisclosed) is dressed but not fully paritcpating in warmups ahead of Saturday's matchup versus Utah, per Quinn Robie of U92 Sports.

Impact Edwards is still considered questionable for Saturday's game, although he's now trending in the wrong direction. He missed last week's game versus Kansas and if the 6-foot-2 senior remains sidelined Saturday, Clay Ash will get the start at running back once again.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

GTD Saturday Edwards (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Utah.

Impact Edwards, who sat out during last week's game against Kansas, remains a game-time decision as the result of an undisclosed injury. The 6-foot-2 senior last saw the field against Pitt in Week 3, posting 25 carries for 141 yards and three touchdowns in the contest. Edwards' status will be extremely noteworthy as the Mountaineers attempt to upset the Utes in Morgantown this weekend.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Now considered questionable Edwards (undisclosed) is questionable for West Virginia's clash with Utah, per Greg Carey of Metro News.

Impact Edwards was deemed more doubtful than probable just Monday by head coach Rich Rodriguez, but now the tailback is considered questionable ahead of the Mountaineers' tilt with Utah. Edwards missed Week 4 against Kansas after exploding for 141 yards and three scores against Pitt in the Backyard Brawl.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Week 5 Edwards (undisclosed) is doubtful for Week 5 against Utah, per Schuyler Callihan of SI.com.

Impact Edwards missed Week 4 against Kansas after exploding for 141 rushing yards and three touchdowns in the Backyard Brawl win over Pittsburgh. The tailback appears primed to miss a second straight game, dealing a blow to the Mountaineers' offense. In his stead, Clay Ash, Cyncir Bowers and Tyler Jacklich led the way in West Virginia's backfield.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Week 4 Edwards (undisclosed) didn't play in West Virginia's 41-10 loss to Kansas in Week 4.

Impact Edwards was deemed a game-time call on West Virginia's injury report, and was expected to be very limited if he did in fact play. Thus, it's unsurprising that the Mountaineers elected to keep him off the field in what ended up being a rough loss to Kansas in the Big 12 opener.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Very limited vs. Kansas Edwards (undisclosed) is expected to be very limited against Kansas on Saturday, Bob Hertzel of The Clarksburg Exponent Telegram reports.

Impact Edwards was spotted in warmups but didn't practice in any of the drills, a strong sign of his limited availability for this contest. At this stage, while he's going to be available, it's uncertain if he's going to see any meaningful snaps.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call vs. Kansas Edwards (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for West Virginia's clash with Kansas.

Impact The star tailback hardly played in the first two games, but exploded last week in the Backyard Brawl against Pittsburgh to the tune of 25 carries for 141 yards and three touchdowns. Edwards was described as probable on prior Big 12 injury reports, but it now appears his availability will go down to the wire for Week 4. If Edwards can't go, Clay Ash should be his primary replacement.

Probable for Week 4 Edwards (undisclosed) is probable for Saturday's game at Kansas.

Impact It is unclear what is affecting Edwards going into Week 4, but the fact that he has the best injury-status tag available is assuring. The running back will especially want to continue his strong momentum from Week 3. Jaheim White's season-ending knee injury gave Edwards the keys to run crazy in the Backyard Brawl then, confirmed with at least 125 rushing yards and several touchdowns on his part.

SEPTEMBER 14 • Associated Press

Receives clearance from NCAA Edwards (not injury related) has received an additional year of eligibility to compete in 2025, CBS Sports reports.

Impact Edwards was initially deemed ineligible to play this season but challenged the ruling and won. Edwards has not been able to practice with the team up to this point and will likely need some time to ramp up. Once he's ready to go, he's expected to slot in for short-yardage situations in the backfield.
