Ravens' Gus Edwards: Reportedly avoids major injury

The hamstring injury Edwards suffered Thursday night against the Buccaneers is described as minor, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

While it's encouraging that the running back appears to have avoided a serious injury, Rapoport suggests that "if (Edwards) misses time, it's likely just a week or so." With that in mind, Edwards' status is worth monitoring closely as the Ravens' (Monday) Nov. 7 contest against the Saints approaches. If he's out or limited at that time, added Week 9 backfield reps would be available for Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill.
