Is Gus Edwards Playing Today? (Latest Injury Update for Panthers vs. Ravens in NFL Week 11)
By Peter Dewey
The Baltimore Ravens aren't expected to have running back Gus Edwards in the lineup on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.
Edwards, who is dealing with a hamstring, is going to work out pregame, but he is likely to miss this game. It had been previously reported that Edwards could suit up in a limited fashion.
#Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (illness) is playing today, and TE Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) is expected to play, per me and @MikeGarafolo. Meanwhile, RB Gus Edwards (hamstring) is not likely to play, though a pregame workout could change minds.

Losing Edwards would turn the Ravens' backfield over to Kenyan Drake, who ran for 93 yards and two scores in the team's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9.
Baltimore is a major favorite in this game, so it wouldn't be shocking for Drake to receive anther big workload, especially if the team goes up early.
Best NFL Prop Bets for Kenyan Drake vs. Panthers in Week 11
Drake scored twice in Week 9, once in Week 8 and has four scores on the season.
If Edwards misses this game, I'm a huge fan of backing him to find the end zone in this matchup.
The Ravens have the best rushing attack in the NFL, and Drake should benefit from all the attention that Lamar Jackson draws on offense.
Whenever Drake is the lead back for Baltimore he's delivered, so I'd trust him in Week 11.
