Mike Edwards is expected to return to the field for the Buccaneers in their Wild Card playoff game against the Commanders, contributing to the team's improved health and defensive strength as they aim to advance in the postseason.

Mike Edwards was a limited participant in practice, but he remains likely to play in the upcoming Wild Card matchup against the Commanders. His potential return adds depth to the Buccaneers' secondary as they prepare for the playoffs.

Mike Edwards is stepping up as a key player for the Buccaneers' secondary in the absence of both Jordan Whitehead and All-Pro safety Antoine Winfield Jr. With the team facing significant injury challenges, Edwards' performance will be crucial as they prepare for their regular-season finale against the Saints.

Mike Edwards, who was claimed off waivers just prior to Week 12, has emerged as a starting-caliber safety for the Buccaneers despite not being on the roster at the beginning of the season. He missed Weeks 14 and 15 due to a hamstring injury and was dealing with an illness earlier this week, but he returned to practice as a full participant. The team has until Saturday to activate him, especially with the need for depth in the secondary following injuries to other safeties.

Mike Edwards is dealing with a hamstring injury and was inactive for the recent game against the Chargers. His status will be evaluated as the week progresses, adding to the team's injury concerns as they push for a playoff spot.
