The Los Angeles Chargers activated Gus Edwards off of injured reserve Saturday, but the running back is questionable for Week 10 against the visiting Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
Edwards has not played since he suffered a sprained left ankle in Los Angeles’ 17-10 home loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4.
The 29-year-old has averaged 3.0 yards per carry and totaled 113 rushing yards with no touchdowns in four games for the Chargers in his first season with the team.
Edwards told reporters Wednesday that he is fully healthy, and he was a full participant in the team’s practice Friday. He is eager to return to the field for Los Angeles (5-3), which trails Kansas City by three games in the AFC West.
“Coming back, fresh legs, at a time when a lot of teams are wearing down,” Edwards said, “got to use it to the best.”
Edwards rushed for 3,395 yards and 26 touchdowns in 69 games (26 starts) over his first six NFL seasons with Baltimore (2018-23) before signing with the Chargers in March.
With Edwards out, rookie Kimani Vidal served as the second running back behind J.K. Dobbins. Vidal managed 44 rushing yards on 18 carries across four games and caught a touchdown in a Week 6 win over Denver.
