Titans' Mario Edwards: Inactive against Texans
Edwards (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Edwards was signed by the Titans in Week 3 and has been active in every game since. However, his role has slipped in recent games as Tennessee's defensive line has gotten healthier, which leaves Edwards as the odd-man out in Week 16.

Titans' Mario Edwards: Headed to Tennessee
The Titans signed Edwards off the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Edwards joined Jacksonville's practice squad after he was released by Chicago ahead of the regular season. The 28-year-old defensive end collected eight tackles and two sacks while playing 200 defensive snaps over 12 games with the Bears last season. Now that he's with the Titans, the 28-year-old will look to carve out a role behind starting defensive ends Jeffery Simmons and DeMarcus Walker.

Bears' Mario Edwards: Posts no stats in loss
Edwards had no statistical production in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with seven tackles and 1.5 sacks.
Edwards posted fewer than 10 tackles, and he's failed to surpass 17 tackles in each of his last four seasons. In addition, the situational pass rusher posted fewer than two sacks for the first time in five years. He's signed through 2023 with void years in 2024 and 2025, and the modest IDP value he'll have is when he records an occasional sack.

Bears' Mario Edwards: Activated from COVID-19 list
The Bears activated Edwards from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Edwards was unavailable for 10 days due to the league's COVID-19 protocols, but he'll now return to practice. The 27-year-old has missed three of the last four games but could serve as a starter Sunday against Seattle since Bilal Nichols (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.

Bears' Mario Edwards: Not activated Monday
Edwards wasn't reinstated from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Monday's game against the Vikings, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Edwards will miss his fifth game of the season after he was placed on the list Dec. 13. According to Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Edwards is unvaccinated, and because he wasn't reinstated to the roster after completing the five-day quarantine associated with players deemed to be high-risk close contacts, it's safe to conclude that the defensive end tested positive for the virus. That means Edwards will have to complete a 10-day quarantine period from his initial positive test, putting his availability for the Bears' Week 16 matchup with the Seahawks in question.

Bears' Mario Edwards: Goes on COVID-19 list
The Bears placed Edwards on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
Edwards returned from a two-game absence due to a rib injury to play 19 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Packers, but he now finds himself at risk of missing time due to a new issue. According to Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Edwards is unvaccinated, so he'll be away from the team for a minimum of five days even if he's been deemed a close contact of an infected person. If Edwards has tested positive himself, he'll be out for at least 10 days, meaning he won't be available to play in the Bears' Week 15 game against the Vikings next Monday night.
