One of the crucial pieces of the Kansas State Wildcats offense will be sidelined for multiple weeks due to an ankle injury.

 

Dylan Edwards left the season-opening loss to Iowa State in the first quarter, after taking a hit during a punt return. He would not return to the contest, and has been diagnosed with a left ankle injury.

 

Edwards will be out for Saturday's game against North Dakota, and is also considered doubtful for the September 6th game against Army, according to head coach Chris Klieman.

 

Klieman says that x-rays did come back negative, and that Edwards will be able to return to the field at some point this season.

 

The former Derby high school star finished with eight total touchdowns last season, five rushing, two receiving, and one punt return. He spent his freshman season playing for Coach Deion Sanders at the University of Colorado.
