Out with injury Edwards is out for the time being due to a lower-body injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Edwards went down last week with an injury and will carry it for the time being, unfortunate after earning a rare start. A keeper with a lower-body issue is always worth monitoring closely given the physical demands of the position. His absence affects San Jose's options between the posts, and the club will need to rely on Daniel moving forward.

Forced off in rare start Edwards Jr. suffered an injury after 24 minutes in Saturday's 3-2 win over St. Louis City.

Impact Edwards Jr. was playing well until he was forced to exit in his first MLS game of the year. While it's unclear if he sustained a severe issue, his appearance was possibly due to rotation to rest the regular starter Daniel, who will be expected to return to action in subsequent games.

On bench Saturday Edwards (lower body) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Philadelphia Union.

Not an option for opener Edwards Jr. is not an option for Saturday's season opener against Sporting Kansas City due to a lower body injury, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Edwards Jr. won't be in the mix for Saturday's season opener against Sporting Kansas City as he rehabs a lower body injury.

The goalie is expected to remain the backup option between the post behind Daniel heading into the 2026 MLS season.

Allows one in season finale Edwards Jr. made two saves and conceded two goals during Saturday's 2-1 win over Austin.

Impact Edwards Jr. had his first appearance since May and was betrayed by a teammate's deflection on the lone goal scored by the opposition in the 22nd minute. The goalkeeper had a safe game the rest of the way and that was enough to do better than former starter Daniel mostly did throughout the entire campaign, especially over the last three months. If San Jose doesn't explore the market to find a new shot-stopper, competition could get interesting to see who gets the nod between the posts next year.

The goalie is on contract with the club for one more year before facing a club option and most likely should return as their starter next year.
