Donovan Edwards: Everything you need to know

Miami signed Edwards to the 53-man roster from Washington's practice squad Friday in preparation for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots. Edwards could get a chance to contribute out of the backfield behind Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon versus New England, with No. 1 RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) having missed three straight practices in preparation for Week 18 and considered a game-time decision. The undrafted rookie out of Michigan flashed during the preseason while with the Jets, but he couldn't stick with New York for the regular season. He inked with the Commanders' practice squad in late August and has remained there without being elevated for a contest this season before now being poached by the Dolphins.

Washington signed Edwards to the practice squad Wednesday, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports. Edwards spent the preseason with the Jets and flashed potential. He fell short of a roster spot in a crowded backfield, but he'll have a new opportunity with the Commanders, who have a less settled running back depth chart.

Edwards was waived Tuesday, Randy Lange and Eric Allen of the Jets' official site report. Edwards had a productive preseason, but the rookie out of Michigan failed to win a roster spot in a Jets backfield that consists of Breece Hall, Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis (ankle) and Kene Nwangwu heading into the regular season. Assuming Edwards passes through waivers unclaimed, he's likely to end up on the Jets' practice squad.
