Edwards signed a one-year deal with the Bills on Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.
While spending the 2023 campaign with the Chiefs, Edwards logged 51 tackles and one interception in 17 regular-season games, including five starts. In his new locale, the 2019 third-round selection -- who turns 28 in May -- bolsters a safety corps that recently lost Jordan Poyer to the Dolphins in free agency.

Chiefs' Mike Edwards: Could suit up vs. Ravens
Rotowire
Edwards (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Ravens.
Edwards sustained a concussion in the Chiefs' divisional-round win over the Bills, but he could still be trending in the right direction to play Sunday. The 27-year-old seems to have progressed throughout Kansas City's week of practice, beginning with a DNP on Wednesday and ending with a full session Friday. If Edwards is unable to go for the AFC Championship Game, Deon Bush would likely get the nod at free safety.

Chiefs' Mike Edwards: Sidelined to start week
Rotowire
Edwards (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Edwards entered the league's concussion protocol in Sunday's divisional-round win over the Bills, so it's unsurprising the veteran safety hasn't been cleared to practice three days later. The Kentucky product will likely need to get in at least a limited practice by Friday and gain clearance from an independent neurologist by Saturday to have any chance at facing the Ravens on Sunday in the AFC Championship Game.

Chiefs' Mike Edwards: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Edwards (knee) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Raiders.
Edwards remains on the Chiefs' sideline and appears to be trying to test his knee, per Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star. In the event that Edwards isn't able to return, Chamarri Conner and Deon Bush could step into larger roles on defense.

Chiefs' Mike Edwards: Good to go versus New England
Rotowire
Edwards (illness) carries no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Edwards' status for Sunday looked up in the air after logging back-to-back DNPs, but he was a full participant in Friday's practice and seems to be over his illness. Edwards had his most productive game of the season in Week 14 against the Bills when he registered 11 tackles (10 solo) while playing a season-high 71 defensive snaps.

Chiefs' Mike Edwards: Productive in first start
Rotowire
Edwards recorded 11 tackles (10 solo) during Kansas City's 20-17 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Edwards got the start for the first time this season with Bryan Cook (ankle) on injured reserve and managed to lead the team in tackles. The 27-year-old will look to keep producing when the Chiefs take on the Patriots later this week.

Chiefs' Mike Edwards: Ailing during offseason
Rotowire
Edwards is dealing with a hamstring injury, according to head coach Andy Reid, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Edwards joined the Chiefs this offseason as a free agent after spending the first four seasons of his career in Tampa Bay. It's unclear when the 27-year-old picked up the injury, but he should be ready by training camp, according to Reid. He's expected to at least compete for the starting job at free safety across from Justin Reid.

Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Double-digit stops in loss
Rotowire
Edwards totaled 10 tackles (six solo) and one pass defensed in the Buccaneers' 31-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys on Monday night. He finished the 2022 regular season with 82 tackles (52 solo), one sack, two interceptions -- including a pick-six -- and three defensed passes overall across 13 games.
Edwards checked in second in tackles on the night for the Buccaneers in his return from a one-game absence due to a hip issue, putting a strong cap on what was a productive 2022 campaign overall. The fourth-year safety set a new career high in tackles while recording multiple interceptions for the third straight season, and factoring in Monday's production, he posted four double-digit tackle tallies overall. Edwards is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year in mid-March, and it remains to be seen if he'll be deemed a priority re-signing by the Buccaneers.

Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Good to go for wild-card round
Rotowire
Edwards (hip) has been ruled active ahead of Monday's wild-card game against the Cowboys.
Edwards will return to the field after sitting out the regular-season finale against Atlanta with a hip injury. The 26-year-old was a full participant during each practice ahead of Monday's playoff tilt, so it's likely he'll retain his every-down role alongside strong safety Antoine Winfield.

Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Edwards (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus Dallas.
Edwards was a full participant at practice Thursday, Friday and Saturday, so he's likely on the 'probable' end of the questionable designation. If he's healthy enough to play, he'll start at safety alongside Antoine Winfield in a wild-card matchup against a potent Cowboys offense.

Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Playing Sunday
Rotowire
Edwards (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Panthers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Edwards has been dealing with the injury for multiple weeks, but he's managed to suit up each game. His ability to suit up will be a boon for the team's secondary Week 17.

Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Active Sunday
Rotowire
Edwards (hamstring) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Edwards missed back-to-back games with a hamstring injury before returning to action in Week 15. He played 29 defensive snaps during the team's loss to Cincinnati and was clear of the injury report Wednesday and Thursday before popping back up Friday as a limited participant due to a hamstring issue. It appears his limited work to end Week 16 prep was merely precautionary, as the safety is active and figures to play a prominent role in Tampa Bay's secondary. Antoine Winfield (ankle) and Keanu Neal (toe) are also active, so the Buccaneers will have all four of their safeties available against Arizona.

Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Edwards (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.
Edwards landed on the injury report Friday as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury. He returned to game action in Week 15 following a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury and recorded five tackles across 29 defensive snaps. It's unclear if he aggravated his previous hamstring injury or not, but it's concerning to see him back on the injury report. Antoine Winfield (ankle) and Keanu Neal (toe) are also questionable, so Tampa Bay's safety corps could be seriously depleted against Arizona.

Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Suiting up Sunday
Rotowire
Edwards (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 15 clash against the Bengals, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Edwards will therefore make his return from a two-game absence after managing to close out the week with back-to-back full practices. The talented safety's return coincides with that of position mate Antoine Winfield (ankle), meaning the Buccaneers will have the back end of their defense intact against the Bengals' dangerous air attack.

Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Officially questionable
Rotowire
Edwards (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Edwards was limited Wednesday due to a hamstring injury that's already cost him back-to-back games. He submitted full sessions Thursday and Friday but is still considered questionable for Sunday. Antoine Winfield (ankle) is also questionable, so if both starting safeties remain sidelined, Logan Ryan and Keanu Neal would presumably continue garnering major roles in Tampa Bay's secondary.

Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Back in full Thursday
Rotowire
Edwards (hamstring) was a full participant in the Buccaneers' practice Thursday.
Edwards picked up a hamstring injury during Tampa Bay's Week 12 loss to the Browns, and he had been sidelined until returning to practice as a limited participant Wednesday. Now, the 26-year-old should be in the clear given his ability to practice in full for the first time again. Edwards has recorded a career-high 64 tackles, three passes defended and an interception, including a pick-six, over 10 games this season, and his return should be a big boost for the Buccaneers' depleted secondary.

Edwards (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Edwards missed back-to-back games due to a hamstring issue, but he appears to be trending in the right direction after logging his first limited session since sustaining the injury. He'll have two more opportunities to submit a full practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.

Buccaneers' Mike Edwards: Won't play Week 13
Rotowire
Edwards (hamstring) has been ruled inactive for Monday Night Football versus the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Edwards picked up a hamstring contusion during the Buccaneers' Week 12 loss to the Browns, and he was deemed doubtful after failing to practice in Week 13 prep. With Antoine Winfield (ankle) also inactive, Keanu Neal and Logan Ryan (foot), who was activated from IR on Monday, should step in as the starting safeties against New Orleans.

Edwards suffered a contusion in Sunday's loss to the Browns, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Edwards tallied six tackles and an interception in the game, but he also suffered a contusion, although the location of it is unknown. With Antoine Winfield suffering a sprained ankle against the Browns as well, both of the team's starting safeties are potentially in danger of missing the Week 13 divisional contest with the Saints.

Edwards (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina.
Edwards fully participated in practice all week, but he'll still carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's Week 7 matchup. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see the safety suit up against the Panthers given his status during practice.
