Gus Edwards, running back for the Los Angeles Chargers, has been sidelined for five weeks due to an ankle injury sustained in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs. With the team on a bye in Week 5, his return remains uncertain, as updates from the Chargers have been scarce.

In his absence, teammate J.K. Dobbins has excelled, solidifying his role as the lead back. Edwards' potential return may not significantly alter this dynamic, especially with Dobbins performing well and the backup, Kimani Vidal, struggling to make an impact.
