Edmonds played no offensive snaps and 13 plays on special teams during Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

Edmonds' role was far different than what it was prior to his three-game absence. primarily due to the presence of Kenyan Drake, who paced Cardinals running backs with 51 (of 64) plays on offense and 15 touches. Meanwhile, David Johnson picked up the scraps (15 and six, respectively), and Edmonds didn't see a single snap from scrimmage. Without an injury or downturn in play from Drake or Johnson, Edmonds doesn't hold much sway in Arizona's offense.

Edmonds (hamstring) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Rams, Mike Jurecki of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cardinals listed Edmonds as a full participant in practice Friday for the second straight day, clearing the way for him to return to game action after a four-week hiatus. He'll rejoin an Arizona backfield that looks quite different from the last time he was healthy, as trade-deadline pickup Kenyan Drake has since taken over as the lead option. With Drake expected to garner the starting nod again in Week 13, Edmonds and David Johnson will vie for the primary backup duties.

Edmonds (hamstring) was a full practice participant Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edmonds may have taken the final step in his recovery from a hamstring injury with his elevation to all activity. If he puts and end to a three-game absence Sunday against the Rams, he'll rejoin a backfield currently led by Kenyan Drake. Since Drake arrived in Arizona from Miami in Week 9, he's dominated the reps out of the backfield, seeing 57 touches to David Johnson's six while Edmonds was absent.

Edmonds (hamstring) was limited at Wednesday's walk-through, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coming off a Week 12 bye, Edmonds and defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard (foot) are the only Cardinals with injuries that are impacting their practice reps. While there's an expectation Edmonds returns from a three-game absence Sunday against the Rams, the state of the backfield is far different than his last appearance Week 8. Kenyan Drake, formerly of the Dolphins, has overtaken David Johnson for the top job, leaving nothing but scraps behind for the remaining backs. It remains to be seen if Johnson and/or an active Edmonds can reclaim some of their former workloads.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that he expects Edmonds (hamstring) to play in the Cardinals' Week 13 matchup with the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the Cardinals' previous three contests, Edmunds appears at or near full health coming out of the team's Week 12 bye. He was spotted on the field Monday in the Cardinals' informal practice session, but the extent of his activity won't be known until Arizona reveals its first injury report of Week 13 on Wednesday. Assuming Kingsbury's prediction comes to pass, Edmonds will rejoin a crowded backfield that now counts Kenyan Drake as its lead option. Prior to getting hurt Week 8, Edmonds had entered a timeshare with David Johnson, owing largely to his breakthrough 150-yard, three-touchdown outing a week before that versus the Giants. Poor health along with Drake's success have rendered Johnson an afterthought lately for the Cardinals -- he garnered zero touches and played only nine offensive snaps Week 11 -- but a healthy Edmonds could prove to be a more worthy challenger to Drake for the No. 1 role.

Edmonds (hamstring) was present for practice Monday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edmonds no doubt benefited from the Cardinals' Week 12 bye and seems to be trending in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Rams approaches. That said, even if Edmonds is available this weekend, what sort of role he might have is cloudy, with Kenyan Drake and David Johnson also in the team's backfield mix.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said that Edmonds (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edmonds' absence for a third consecutive game paves the way for the tandem of Kenyan Drake and David Johnson to lead the backfield in Week 11. Per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com, Kingsbury declined to name a starter among the two healthy backs, instead noting that he would take a "committee" approach with Drake and Johnson, who are both expected to have packages on offense. The Cardinals' muddled backfield will become even cloudier if Edmonds is ready to play again coming out of Arizona's Week 12 bye.

Edmonds (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Yet again, Edmonds was listed as a DNP on the team's injury report, but in the part of Thursday's session open to the media, Edmonds was spotted working on the side, per Urban. Until he takes part in practice, Edmonds won't be a candidate to return to action, leaving him in danger of missing his third consecutive game Sunday in San Francisco. In that reality, Kenyan Drake and David Johnson will share the team's Week 11 backfield duties.

Edmonds (hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edmonds has made negligible progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury, missing every practice and two games since picking up the issue Week 8. With Kenyan Drake and David Johnson in their backfield, the Cardinals don't need to rush Edmonds through his rehab. Plus, the team has a bye after Sunday's game at Arizona, so it wouldn't surprise if Edmonds misses a third consecutive contest this weekend.

Edmonds (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edmonds was never expected to play and still hasn't returned to practice. It's unclear if he'll be a significant part of the backfield even after he gets healthy, considering the Cardinals also have David Johnson and Kenyan Drake. The team faces the 49ers in Week 11, followed by a bye in Week 12.
