Waived by Pittsburgh The Steelers waived Edwards on Monday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.

Impact Edwards signed with Pittsburgh as an undrafted free agent in April but is now headed to waivers. The 23-year-old could be brought back to the practice squad as Jaylen Warren and Jonthan Ward are both currently dealing with hamstring injuries.

Leads team in rushing yards Friday Edwards rushed three times for 28 yards and a touchdown while securing his lone target for nine yards during Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to Houston.

Impact Edwards didn't record a touch until late in the third quarter during Friday's preseason opener, but he had a 24-yard rush in the fourth quarter that was the Steelers' longest running play of the game, and he punched it in for a one-yard touchdown on the next play. Edwards started one season at Georgia in college and worked as part of a committee, and he went undrafted this spring. Even though he's a solid pass protector, he faces an uphill battle to earn a spot on the 53-man roster behind Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson.
