Duggan said Edmunds helped rookie Arvell Reese acclimate to the NFL. Reese must continue that transition alongside McFadden as the Giants prepare to face Houston on Sunday.
The defense has also lost outside linebacker Brian Burns for the season, Edmunds' injury gives McFadden a larger role amid those losses.
