Edwards first tweeted the news Tuesday, attributing the move to his injury, which “required more time to rehab and hasn’t allowed me to re-sync with the offense.” Edwards had 15 catches for 181 yards and no touchdowns in eight games with five starts for the NFC West champion 49ers (12-3) after receiving a $3.5 million, one-year contract in August. HC Jim Harbaugh said Monday the team might look outside the organization this week to fill spots—and that looks to be the case now—heading into the regular-season finale Sunday at St. Louis. The 49ers are trying to secure the NFC’s No. 2 seed a first-round bye.
