Five saves in rare start Edwards Jr. registered five saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 3-1 win against Portland Timbers.

Impact Edwards was handed only his second MLS start of the season against Portland as Angus Gunn was away with Scotland, and he played his part in a San Jose victory. He could not keep a clean sheet after a late goal from the visitors, but he made five saves and looked composed throughout. Gunn is expected to reclaim his place next time out, which would send Edwards back to the bench.

On bench for LAFC clash Edwards (lower body) is on the bench in Saturday's contest versus Los Angeles FC.

Impact Edwards will be available for the first time since April following a lengthy recovery from his latest injury. However, he's currently limited to a bench role behind first option Angus Gunn. If that remains the case for the rest of the season, Edwards will lack value unless he's considered for rotation at some point or gets starts when Gunn is not fit.

Sidelined again Edwards is back on his team's injury list for the time being due to a lower body setback, per the league's availability report.

Impact Edwards has been unavailable as San Jose's backup goalkeeper across multiple games and continues to be out without a timeline on the lower body issue despite appearing in a friendly match in July. His absence leaves the team without the top bench option between the posts, with new signing Angus Gunn playing instead.

Plays in friendly Edwards returned to action in Friday's 2-1 friendly loss against Tijuana, marking his comeback from the lower-body injury that had kept him sidelined since May, the club posted.

Impact Edwards had been dealing with the issue after going down during a rare start, making his return between the posts a significant boost for San Jose's goalkeeping options heading into the upcoming fixtures after the World Cup break. His appearance in the friendly suggests he is now available for selection once again.

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.

Impact Edwards might not yet make his season debut after being sidelined due to an injury, as he'll be a substitute option behind starter Daniel. The backup keeper will be available for the remainder of the campaign but will be unlikely to see action at least in the short term.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

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. He'll aim to get back on the pitch for next week's matchup, but his absence doesn't shake up the starting XI for San Jose. The goalie is expected to remain the backup option between the post behind Daniel heading into the 2026 MLS season.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Makes two saves Edwards Jr. had two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus St. Louis City SC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 90th minute.

Impact Edwards allowed two goals with two saves during the draw to St Louis on Saturday. He remains the keeper for San Jose with Daniel out on injury, allowing five goals on nine saves with a clean sheet in the last three games.

Keeps clean sheet versus Galaxy Edwards Jr. had six saves and secured a clean sheet in Wednesday's 1-0 win versus Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Edwards Jr. denied the home team several chances, delivering his best performance of the campaign during the victory. It was his third full game in a row across all competitions since taking over because of Daniel's (lower body) injury. In case the main keeper continues to miss time, the next challenge for Edwards Jr. will be a visit to St. Louis, who have found the net four times over their last five MLS matches.
