“I wish I could be out there with the guys, but it’s part of the sport,” said Edwards. “You get hurt. You just don’t want to be selfish to the point where you’re going to get back out there and re-injure yourself and not be able to play at your level throughout the season. So you’ve got to be conscious of that and make sure that your team realizes that you want to get back out there as soon as possible to help this team win. It’s disappointing, but I’m glad it happened during the preseason instead of the regular season.”
Edwards described what happened on the running play when he tried to hand the ball off to Marshawn Lynch.
“Marshawn was a little bit tight on a running play and I was a little bit wide and we kind of collided,” Edwards said. “It was scary. It felt like Marshawn had almost kicked me. I know it’s not physically possible for a running back to kick me right in the leg. I had my knee pads on and everything and for some reason it missed the pad and I guess Marshawn’s knee collided with mine. That hasn’t happened to me before in my football career, but hopefully it won’t happen again.”
