Edwards is listed as a starter on the Raiders' first unofficial depth chart.
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 take over a immediate starting role on the outside, though it's possible that Nelson Agholor and Zay Jones also could see notable early season work if the Raiders don't want to throw too much at the rookie out of the gate. Edwards will benefit from a favorable Week 1 matchup against the Panthers on Sunday.
