Most recent item: Reports in January 2026 indicated Edwards faced a toe infection complicating recovery, with a timeline described as day-to-day rather than a clear return date. This suggests no ACL involvement in that update, but a toe issue affecting his availability. [cite][1]
-
April 25–26, 2026 updates: Several outlets noted a knee-related concern in the playoffs against Denver, with speculation about a possible ACL tear as a worst-case scenario. However, there was no definitive confirmation of an ACL injury at that time; the focus remained on monitoring his knee and hoping for a quick, non-surgical recovery if possible. [cite][2][4]

Earlier in 2025, Edwards missed two weeks with a right hamstring strain, which is a separate injury history and helps contextualize his overall injury resilience during that period. [cite][3]

General current status (as of late April 2026): The Timberwolves have listed Edwards as day-to-day with knee issues, and there’s no publicly confirmed ACL tear reported in the latest round of updates. If you want, I can pull the very latest game-day injury report from the Timberwolves or ESPN for the exact designation on today’s status. [cite][5]
