Signed by the Dolphins in January of 2026.
Joins Dolphins' active roster
Miami signed Edwards to the 53-man roster from Washington's practice squad Friday in preparation for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Edwards could get a chance to contribute out of the backfield behind Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon versus New England, with No. 1 RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) having missed three straight practices in preparation for Week 18 and considered a game-time decision. The undrafted rookie out of Michigan flashed during the preseason while with the Jets, but he couldn't stick with New York for the regular season. He inked with the Commanders' practice squad in late August and has remained there without being elevated for a contest this season before now being poached by the Dolphins.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could play in passing situations
Nick Baumgardner of The Athletic lists Edwards as one of his top post-draft gems and thinks the running back could earn a spot on the Jets' roster heading into training camp.
ANALYSIS
Edwards spent most of his time at Michigan in a backup role, rushing for 2,251 yards over four years. His ticket to playing time in the NFL could be Edwards' pass catching ability, as he added 86 receptions for 797 yards and four touchdowns with the Wolverines.
