ASU's Edwards returns to practice

Appalachian State QB Armanti Edwards was back on the field Wednesday for the first time since injuring his left ankle in Saturday's win over Presbyterian.

Edwards took part in about three-quarters of the practice activities and reported only minor discomfort in the sprained joint, according to a school spokesman. Barring any setbacks, he is expected to practice again on Thursday and likely will start against The Citadel Saturday in Boone. The game, the conference opener for the Mountaineers, is sold out.

Also, DE Quavian Lewis, who missed last week's game with a bruised knee, has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Saturday's game. --STAN OLSON
