Dylan Edwards’ Return Delayed for Kansas State Wildcats
MANHATTAN, KS – Kansas State Wildcats fans will have to wait a bit longer for the return of running back Dylan Edwards, who remains sidelined with an ankle injury sustained in the season opener against Iowa State. Despite ongoing training efforts, Edwards has not been cleared to play in the upcoming game against Arizona, according to ESPN.
Edwards suffered the injury during the first quarter of the Wildcats’ 24-21 loss to Iowa State in Dublin, Ireland, on a muffed punt—his first touch of the 2025 season. The setback has kept him out of the lineup for the past two games, and his absence has been felt as the Wildcats have struggled to find their footing.
Entering the season with high expectations as a Big 12 title contender and College Football Playoff hopeful, Kansas State has stumbled to a 1-2 record. The team’s performance has raised concerns among fans and analysts, who believe Edwards’ return could provide a much-needed boost.
While Edwards continues to work towards recovery, the coaching staff is focused on finding solutions to the team’s struggles in his absence. The Wildcats will need to step up their game against Arizona to regain momentum and prove they can compete at the level expected of them.
The hope is that Edwards will be back on the field next week, ready to contribute to the team’s success. His return would not only bolster the running game but also provide a morale boost for the entire team as they look to turn their season around.
