Returning to K.C. Edwards is slated to sign a one-year deal with the Chiefs, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact After playing five games with Tampa Bay and three with Buffalo during the 2024 regular season, a span in which he recorded 12 tackles, Edwards returns to Kansas City, where spent the 2023 campaign and logged 51 tackles over the course of 17 regular season outings. In his return to the Chiefs, Edwards -- a 2019 third-rounder -- will add depth and experience to a safety corps that with be minus Justin Reid, who signed with the Saints last month.

Sparse role in Bucs return Edwards finished the 2024 regular season with 11 tackles (six solo) and one defensed pass across five games.

Impact Edwards returned to the team that invested a 2019 third-round pick in him after opening the season with the Bills and then joining the Titans for a week following his release by Buffalo. Edwards then suffered a hamstring injury two games into his Buccaneers tenure, leading to a pair of absences before a Week 16 return. Edwards' best showing actually came during the wild-card loss to the Commanders, when he recorded five tackles across 57 snaps. Edwards will once again be an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins, and it remains to be seen if Tampa Bay will be interested in a reunion.

Ready to go for wild-card round Edwards (quadriceps) is active for Sunday night's wild-card game against the Commanders.

Impact Edwards was nursing a quad injury at practice this week, but he'll ultimately be able to give it a go in the first round of the postseason. The safety recorded six total tackles (four solo) over the final three games of the regular season.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to face Washington Edward (quadriceps) practiced in full Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's NFC home wild-card round game against the Commanders.

Impact Edwards strung together a LP-LP-FP series of practices this week, which seemingly gives him solid odds of being cleared to suit up for Sunday's home playoff game against Washington. He's dealing with a quadriceps injury which forced him out of the Buccaneers' regular-season finale against New Orleans early, which was initially diagnosed as cramps.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Begins week limited Edwards (quadriceps) was listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact Edwards exited Week 18's win over the Saints early with what was originally reported as muscle cramps but appears to still be dealing with the effects of some kind of injury. More clarity on his status for Sunday's wild-card game against the Commanders should come as the week progresses.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Exits early Sunday Edwards left Sunday's 27-19 win over the Saints early with muscle cramps, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Edwards was forced to exit Sunday's victory in the fourth quarter, but he appears to have avoided any sort of injury. Edwards finished his day with two solo tackles. With Tampa Bay geared up to host a wild-card game next weekend, the safety doesn't appear to be in any danger of missing that contest.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go against Dallas Edwards (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Impact Edwards has missed the Buccaneers' last two games due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 13 against the Panthers. We logged an LP/LP/FP practice week, and he's done enough to be cleared for Sunday night's game. Edwards will reclaim his starting spot at strong safety alongside free safety Kaevon Merriweather.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 16 Edwards (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Edwards appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest, as he upgraded from limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday to a full go Friday. However, if the veteran safety is unable to suit up in Week 16, expect Christian Izien to step in and start alongside Kaevon Merriweather.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Wednesday Edwards (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Edwards has been sidelined for the Bucs' last two games due to a hamstring strain he suffered in Week 13 against the Panthers. His return to practice Wednesday indicates he is progressing in his recovery, and Edwards will have two more chances to increase his practice participation this week ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

DECEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 15 Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Edwards (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Edwards' hamstring injury will force him to miss a second straight game. With Antoine Winfield (knee) also officially out for Week 15, Tampa Bay's defense will be without both its top safeties. That puts Kaevon Merriweather and Christian Izien (groin), if healthy, both in line for expanded roles Sunday against Los Angeles.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed DNP on Wednesday Edwards (hamstring) was estimated as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Edwards hurt his hamstring Week 13 against Carolina and missed Sunday's win over the Raiders. While Wednesday's practice was a walkthrough, it nonetheless doesn't bode well for Edwards' chance of returning Sunday versus the Chargers the he was deemed a non-participant. The Buccaneers' secondary is plagued by injuries at the moment, as Antoine Winfield (knee), Christian Izien (groin) and Tykee Smith (knee), among others, are also currently managing health issues.

DECEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 14 Edwards (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Las Vegas, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact As expected, Edwards will be sidelined for Sunday's game due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain that he suffered in the Bucs' Week 13 overtime win over the Panthers. With Edwards sidelined, Christian Izien will likely be the Bucs' starting strong safety Sunday while Kaevon Merriweather serves in a rotational role.

DECEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined for Wednesday's practice Edwards (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Edwards was diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain following the Bucs' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers this past Sunday. He's expected to be sidelined for Week 14 against the Raiders this Sunday, so his inactivity in Wednesday's practice doesn't come as a surprise. Still, Edwards would give himself a small chance to play if he were to return to practice over the next two days.

DECEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Week 14 vs. Vegas Edwards suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain during the Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers this past Sunday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Edwards was unable to return to this past Sunday's game after straining his hamstring in the first half, and he finished the contest with four tackles (two solo). The Grade 1 strain indicates Edwards avoided a serious injury, but the expectation is that he'll likely be out for at least one week. If he's unable to play against the Raiders on Sunday, Edwards' next opportunity to suit up will be Week 15 against the Chargers on Sunday, Dec. 15. Christian Izien is the top candidate to start at strong safety alongside free safety Antoine Winfield due to Edwards' injury.

DECEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for rest of Sunday Edwards (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's matchup with Carolina, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Edwards sustained a hamstring injury in the first half and he'll now be forced to take a seat for the rest of the game as a result. Christian Izien will likely continue to operate in a significant role with the defense in the absence of Edwards.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return Sunday Edwards (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Panthers, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Edwards picked up a hamstring injury in the first half versus Carolina, putting his status for the rest of the game in question. In his absence, Christian Izien stands to step into a more significant role in Tampa Bay's secondary.
