SJ EarthquakesPlays in friendly
Edwards returned to action in Friday's 2-1 friendly loss against Tijuana, marking his comeback from the lower-body injury that had kept him sidelined since May, the club posted.
Analysis: Edwards had been dealing with the issue after going down during a rare start, making his return between the posts a significant boost for San Jose's goalkeeping options heading into the upcoming fixtures after the World Cup break. His appearance in the friendly suggests he is now available for selection once again.
Out with injury
Edwards is out for the time being due to a lower-body injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis: Edwards went down last week with an injury and will carry it for the time being, unfortunate after earning a rare start. A keeper with a lower-body issue is always worth monitoring closely given the physical demands of the position. His absence affects San Jose's options between the posts, and the club will need to rely on Daniel moving forward.
Forced off in rare start
Edwards Jr. suffered an injury after 24 minutes in Saturday's 3-2 win over St. Louis City.
Analysis: Edwards Jr. was playing well until he was forced to exit in his first MLS game of the year. While it's unclear if he sustained a severe issue, his appearance was possibly due to rotation to rest the regular starter Daniel, who will be expected to return to action in subsequent games.
