Mike Edwards: Everything you need to know

The Chiefs signed Edwards to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday. Edwards will officially join the active roster after logging four tackles (two solo) in his season debut during the team's Week 13 loss to Dallas. With Christian Roland-Wallace landing on injured reserve with a back injury earlier in the day, Edwards could take over as the team's starting slot cornerback going forward.

The Chiefs released Edwards (hamstring) on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Edwards signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs earlier in the offseason after he appeared in eight combined regular-season games with the Bills and Bucs last year. The 29-year-old safety will look to find a reserve role elsewhere.

Edwards won't return to Friday's preseason game against the Seahawks due to a hamstring issue. Edwards was ruled out midway through the second half. The veteran safety recorded three tackles (two solo) prior to his exit. Edwards signed with the Chiefs in early April and is expected to take on a depth role in the secondary during the upcoming campaign.
