Chase Edmonds - Page 14 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Looks good in return to practice Edmonds (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Edmonds was absent Wednesday and Thursday, but it now seems his ankle injury isn't too serious, with Urban relaying that the running back was "moving around pretty well" during Friday's practice. There was no sign of any problem last week in a 26-7 win over the Giants, as Edmonds took 11 touches for 53 yards while playing 51 percent of offensive snaps. Even if he's expected to play, he'll likely be listed on the Friday injury report after missing back-to-back practices. Kenyan Drake likely would take on more snaps if Edmonds were to miss Sunday's game against the Eagles.

No practice again Thursday Edmonds (ankle) was unable to practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Edmonds kicked off the session with a workout on a side field, and ultimately he was a non-participant for a second straight day. Coach Kliff Kingsbury suggested Wednesday that Edmonds will be a game-time call for Sunday's contest against the Eagles, a decision that will be made approximately 90 minutes before the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If Edmonds does sit out this weekend, Kenyan Drake likely will take on a larger workload than normal, considering the only other Cardinals RB to earn a touch this season is practice squad member D.J. Foster.

Impact Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury indicated Wednesday that Edmonds would likely be a game-time decision for Sunday's tilt with the Eagles, so the running back's lack of activity with the main group for a second straight day isn't too surprising in that context. Should Edmonds' ankle injury prevent him from suiting up Week 15, top back Kenyan Drake would likely take on a heftier snap share after playing between 45 and 56 percent of the Cardinals' offensive plays in each of the past five weeks.

RB Chase Edmonds to be a game-time decision with ankle injury He was unable to practice on Wednesday.

DECEMBER 17, 2020 • USATODAY.COM

Set to be game-time call Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Edmonds (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Eagles, Kevin Zimmerman of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Edmonds made a surprise appearance on Wednesday's practice report as a non-participant due to an ankle injury. When acting as Kenyan Drake's direct backup this season, Edmonds has averaged 8.4 touches per game in those 12 outings. If those reps suddenly are up for grabs, it's anyone's guess who among Jonathan Ward (shoulder), rookie seventh-rounder Eno Benjamin or practice squad member D.J. Foster would be in line for those snaps.

Tending to ankle issue Edmonds didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Edmonds is among the more utilized No. 2 running backs in the NFL, averaging 8.4 touches per game in the 12 contests in which starter Kenyan Drake has been active this season. Meanwhile, the only other Cardinals running back to garner touches in 2020 -- D.J. Foster with two -- resides on the practice squad. There's no indication that Edmonds is in danger of sitting out Sunday versus the Eagles, but his status now is of interest as the Cardinals prepare for Week 15.

DECEMBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Manages 53 yards from scrimmage Edmonds turned seven carries into 32 yards and four catches (on five targets) into 21 yards during Sunday's 26-7 road win against the Giants.

Impact Working behind starting running back Kenyan Drake, Edmonds continues to hover around 10 touches weekly en route to 57.8 yards from scrimmage per game and four touchdowns in 13 outings. Edmonds also earned almost as many offensive snaps as Drake -- 40 versus 44 (of 79) -- but the latter had 24 touches Sunday. Due to his versatility, Edmonds will continue to be a regular in the Cardinals offense, but his standing as the No. 2 RB hurts his ceiling.

DECEMBER 9, 2020 • Associated Press

Another 43 yards from scrimmage Edmonds recorded six carries for 28 yards and two catches (on six targets) for 15 yards during Sunday's 38-28 loss to the Rams.

Impact As the Cardinals have become increasingly pass-heavy during their current three-game losing streak, Edmonds' target count has experienced an appreciable boost (five targets per game during that stretch, versus 3.6 prior to that point). Still, he's recorded two of his four lowest receiving yardage totals in that span. Due to the game script dictating more passing, though, Edmonds earned more offensive snaps than starting running back Kenyan Drake -- 37-29 -- and the former also reeled off a 54-yard kick return that helped set up Arizona's final TD of the day. As long as Drake is healthy, Edmonds will find it difficult to reach 10 touches per game (he's done it three times in 11 games with Drake active).

Skidding Cardinals running out of time to get back on track

Arizona’s once-rolling offense has hit the skids the past couple of weeks

DECEMBER 7, 2020 • Associated Press

Manages 43 total yards Edmonds had six carries for 29 yards and four catches (on five targets) for 14 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss at New England.

Impact On a day in which the Cardinals couldn't get much going through the air -- Kyler Murray averaged a measly 5.0 yards per attempt -- Edmonds' slight contribution as a receiver helped him finish third among the team's skill-position players with 43 yards from scrimmage. Only Kenyan Drake (93) and DeAndre Hopkins (55) compiled more such yards. In the 10 games that Drake has been available this season, Edmonds has averaged 8.2 touches for 56.7 total yards per game while scoring four TDs, so the latter still has utility when used as a complementary option out of Arizona's backfield.

Scores as receiver in loss Edmonds rushed twice for 13 yards, brought in all four targets for 36 yards and a touchdown and returned five kickoffs for 100 yards in the Cardinals' 28-21 loss to the Seahawks on...

Impact The versatile running back put his skill set on full display in the losing effort, with the highlight of his night coming on a three-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter to cap off a 15-play, 90-yard march. Edmonds did see his lowest rushing workload of the season, but he'd come close to matching Thursday's sparse usage with a trio of three-carry games earlier in the campaign. The 2018 fourth-round pick now have multiple receptions in four straight contests and has crossed the goal line three times as a receiver on the season, which continues to give him fantasy utility in deeper PPR formats. He'll look to put together another productive effort versus the Patriots in a Week 12 road tilt on Sunday, Nov. 29.

Effective in No. 2 role Sunday Edmonds carried the ball eight times for 56 yards and caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 32-30 win over the Bills.

Impact Despite the return of Kenyan Drake to the lineup, Edmonds still saw double-digit touches and put together a productive afternoon. The duo will likely continue to share the load in the Cardinals' backfield in Week 11 against a porous Seahawks defense that just gave up three rushing TDs to the Rams.

Struggles with large workload Edmonds carried 25 times for 70 yards and caught all three of his targets for an additional 18 yards during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact With Kenyan Drake (ankle) sidelined, Edmonds received nearly as many carries in this one as he had in the first seven games combined. Despite facing a favorable matchup on paper, the typically efficient back averaged just 2.8 yards per carry and couldn't break off any big gains in the passing game. Edmonds will likely be the featured back again next Sunday against the Bills and will look to take advantage of his favorable role in one of the NFL's more potent offenses.
