Starts Saturday
Edwards recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Charlotte FC.
Analysis: Edwards was back in the starting XI for Atlanta after dropping out in the past two games, playing 64 minutes in the loss. He would record a shot, an interception, three tackles won, and four clearances, a decent showing. He has now started in seven of his 14 appearances this season, remaining more of a rotational option for the club.
In starting XI Saturday
Edwards (hamstring) is in the starting lineup to face New England Revolution on Saturday.
Analysis: Edwards recovered from his muscle problem in time to play a role in the weekend's clash. He'll consequently be expected to operate as a right-back, where he has made three starts this season, producing mostly through passes and defensive numbers. His inclusion will fill the void left by Tomas Jacob's suspension, but both players could be involved in a rotation after Saturday's game.
