Gus Edwards’ Injury Status and Expectations for Week 11 Against the Cincinnati Bengals

Gus Edwards, the running back for the Los Angeles Chargers, is preparing to face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11, despite dealing with an ankle injury. Edwards fully participated in practice, indicating he is likely to play, but his effectiveness remains uncertain due to the injury[2].

In his last game, Edwards had 10 carries for 55 yards, contributing to his season totals of 168 rushing yards on 48 carries, averaging 33.6 yards per game. His performance has been inconsistent this season, which adds to the uncertainty about his readiness for the upcoming game[2][4].

The Chargers, who are coming off a win, will rely heavily on establishing their running game against the Bengals. Edwards’ health and performance will be critical in this matchup as the team aims to solidify their playoff positioning. J.K. Dobbins, another key running back for the Chargers, is also on the injury report but has had significant season stats with 141 rushing attempts for 670 yards and 6 touchdowns[2].

Edwards’ participation in the game could impact his usage in the remainder of the season. His ability to contribute effectively will be closely watched, especially given the competitive nature of the Bengals team[2].
