The reserve running back saw just five snaps on offense compared to 10 on special teams, underscoring how dominant a grip Rachaad White retains on the No. 1 role in Tampa Bay's backfield. Edmonds hasn't even been able to take advantage of the Buccaneers' frequent negative game scripts over their multi-week struggles, as White is a highly capable receiver in his own right and therefore often negates the need for Edmonds to be deployed on passing downs.

The reserve running back saw just five snaps on offense compared to 10 on special teams, underscoring how dominant a grip Rachaad White retains on the No. 1 role in Tampa Bay's backfield. Edmonds hasn't even been able to take advantage of the Buccaneers' frequent negative game scripts over their multi-week struggles, as White is a highly capable receiver in his own right and therefore often negates the need for Edmonds to be deployed on passing downs.
Edmonds was the only back other than Rachaad White to log a carry for the Buccaneers but unsurprisingly found little running room. He was more successful on his one reception, but with just 14 snaps from scrimmage, the opportunities for him to make an impact were sparse, even with a game script favorable to his pass-catching prowess. Edmonds has logged 18 total touches in four games since returning from a four-game stint on injured reserve, but he remains off the radar in virtually all formats with White enjoying a firm hold on the No. 1 running back job.
Edmonds made his return from a four-game absence due to a knee injury and was very busy relative to opportunity. The versatile back logged only eight snaps from scrimmage, so in that context, his five touches were encouraging. Edmonds could continue to see his role expand in coming games, with his next opportunity coming in a Week 9 road matchup against the Texans.
Edmonds was designated for return at the beginning of the week and listed as a full practice participant both Monday and Tuesday. He appears ready to play Thursday night at Buffalo, though it isn't quite clear what his role will be given that starter Rachaad White has been better on passing downs than running downs and thus seems to have strengths that overlap with Edmonds'. Ke'Shawn Vaughn has been Tampa's No. 2 back of late, mostly subbing in for White on early downs and taking a handful or so of carries per game.
Edmonds went on injured reserve with a sprained MCL after Week 2 but has missed the required four games, and his designation to return opens his 21-day practice window. The 27-year-old hasn't been much of an on-field factor since leaving Arizona following the 2021 season. He recorded four carries for 20 yards and wasn't targeted in two games prior to being injured earlier this year. Edmonds may be on the cusp of returning to action Thursday in Buffalo after being listed as a full participant on Monday's injury report.
