Edwards (ankle) was sporting a walking boot on his right foot Monday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
As Reed notes, it's early in the week, but Edwards' situation is one to monitor. Meanwhile, Vic Tafur of The Athletic relays that coach Jon Gruden acknowledged as Week 4's game against the Bills approaches that the team is "concerned about both" Edwards and Henry Ruggs (hamstring).

Edwards (ankle) missed the majority of the second half of Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Patriots, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The wideout suffered an ankle injury after coming down awkwardly following one of the two catches (for 48 yards) he made Sunday while being targeted three times. Edwards' Week 4 status is now worth monitoring, along with that of fellow rookie pass catcher Henry Ruggs (hamstring), who was inactive against New England.

Edwards was forced out of Sunday's game against the Patriots with an ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
With Henry Ruggs (knee/hamstring) already out this week, Hunter Renfrow, Nelson Agholor and Zay Jones are next up for the Raiders' Week 3 wide receiver touches.

Edwards (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
The No. 81 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft logged limited practices this week, but he'll be able to give it a go Sunday and is thus slated to maintain his starting role in the team's offense. The Raiders will be without first-rounder Henry Ruggs (knee/hamstring) this week, meaning Zay Jones and Nelson Agholor are candidates for added snaps behind Edwards and Hunter Renfrow. Edwards caught both of his targets for 42 yards in this past Monday's win over the Saints, and with an increase in volume a plausible outcome as the season rolls along, the 6-foot-3, 212-pounder has a chance to surface as a fantasy option in deeper formats.

Edwards is listed as a limited a participant on Wednesday's injury report due to a foot issue.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards appears to have emerged from Monday's win over the Saints with a foot injury, though the nature of his 'limited' designation can be taken with a grain of salt since Wednesday's injury report is only an estimation. The rookie wideout will have two more opportunities to log a full practice session ahead of Sunday's contest in New England.

Edwards caught both his targets for 42 yards in Monday night's 34-24 loss to the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards showed his big-play ability with a couple 20-plus yard grabs in his second NFL game. The imposing wideout actually trailed only Darren Waller for the team lead in receiving yards, but Waller was the only of 11 Raiders pass-catchers to be targeted more than three times. That fact evidences the amount of unestablished options in Las Vegas' early-season passing game, but Edwards at least did well to distinguish himself in his two opportunities Monday.

Edwards caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards' 46 offensive snaps ranked third among all rookie wide receivers during Sunday's slate of Week 1 contests, but lofty playing time didn't translate to immediate fantasy production as quarterback Derek Carr favored his running backs and tight end Darren Waller per usual. Nonetheless, coach Jon Gruden's early trust in Edwards to fill the outside role usually manned by Tyrell Williams (shoulder) is a promising sign heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Saints.

Edwards is listed as a starter on the Raiders' first unofficial depth chart.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards will join fellow rookie Henry Ruggs and second-year slot man Hunter Renfrow to compose one of the youngest wide receiver corps in the league. The combination of an outstanding training camp and a season-ending injury to Tyrell Williams (shoulder) opens the path for Edwards to immediately take over a starting role on the outside, though it's possible that Nelson Agholor and Zay Jones could also see notable early-season work if the Raiders don't want to throw too much at the rookie out of the gate. He'll benefit from a favorable Week 1 matchup against the Panthers on Sunday.

Edwards has seen more consistent reps with the first-team offense than the likes of Nelson Agholor and Zay Jones, Vic Tafur, Jimmy Durkin, Ted Nguyen and Tashan Reed of The Athletic's State of the Nation podcast report.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards appears to have already earned the trust of Las Vegas' training staff, as Tafur speculates that the team would not hesitate to start the South Carolina product in the event that Tyrell Williams (shoulder) were forced to miss time. Still, Williams appears to have a fair shot at playing through his torn labrum, and if the veteran is on the field it's unlikely that Edwards would immediately usurp him. Rookie first-round pick Henry Ruggs also appears locked into an immediate offensive role, and it's possible that coach Jon Gruden would balk at relying on two rookie wideouts to each handle consistent snaps right out of the gate.

Edwards, who's fully recovered from a broken foot suffered prior to his third-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, has been earning reps with the first-team offense during his maiden training camp with the Raiders, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards' impressive combination of speed and strength at 6-2, 212 pounds has been turning heads early in camp, enough so to be spending time with the starters as he builds chemistry with quarterback Derek Carr and battles for a role on the outside at receiver. Even if he's unlikely to surpass veteran Tyrell Williams on the depth chart as a rookie, Edwards could certainly force his way into playing time after slipping in the draft due to the aforementioned foot issue. Edwards' collegiate production supports such a positive outlook on his talent level and immediate ceiling, given he caught a total of 234 passes for 3,045 yards and 22 touchdowns in four years at South Carolina.
