Edwards (knee), who is on the reserve/PUP list and in line to miss at least the first four games of the season, said Wednesday that he's progressing well at this stage, Kevin Eck of the Ravens' official site reports. "For everybody wondering about my recovery I'm doing great and I'm very close," said Edwards, who is recovering from an ACL tear that he suffered last September.
The earliest Edwards will be eligible to play is Week 5, when the Ravens host the Bengals. If he's available at that time, what sort of workload he may see hinges on the availability of the team's other backfield options at that point in the season. As Week 1 approaches, J.K. Dobbins' (knee) status for Sunday's game against the Jets is uncertain, with Mike Davis, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill on hand to handle Baltimore's backfield duties if Dobbins is held out.
