Plays 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.
