PITTSBURGH — Veteran defensive back Terrell Edmunds will miss the Week 10 game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Commanders this Sunday with an unexplained illness.

Edmunds, who played in five games for the Steelers after being signed from the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad earlier this season, missed practice all three days this week while dealing with the illness. Edmunds was at practice on Friday and was seen interacting with teammates in the Steelers locker room, but was ruled out on the team’s injury report.

The 27-year-old Edmunds is in his second stint with the Steelers. He was the team’s first-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft and spent his first five NFL season in Pittsburgh before splitting the between the Philadelphia Eagles and Tennessee Titans last season. Since being signed from Jacksonville, Edmunds has been serving as the team’s Dime defender and been the starting gunner on punt coverage.

Cam Sutton, who is returning from an eight-game NFL suspension, could replace Edmunds in the Dime, and Scotty Miller and Ben Skowronek have both covered punts this year, as well.
