The Chargers chose to keep five tailbacks on the roster, highlighted by rookie Melvin Gordon, veterans Danny Woodhead and Donald Brown, and former Mid-American Conference rusher Branden Oliver.

Edwards had a historic career at Ball State from 2011-14, rushing 884 times for 4,558 yards and 51 touchdowns. He was a three-time All-MAC selection at the school.

NFL teams have until Sept. 1 to trim their rosters to 75.
