The procedure was performed by Dr. Scott Martin at Brigham & Women's /Mass General Health Care Center in Foxborough, Mass. Edwards is expected to return to action in approximately four-to-six weeks.
Edwards, 29, joined New England in December 2020 as a free agent after six MLS seasons with D.C. United and Orlando City SC.

United's affiliate, Loudoun United FC. A former United States youth international, Edwards was drafted by Orlando City in 2015 after a four-year collegiate career at UCLA.

While in California, the Revolution will play five preseason friendlies beginning with a meeting with the LA Galaxy on March 27 at Dignity Health Sports Park. The Revs will open the 2021 MLS regular season on Saturday, April 17 at Chicago Fire FC (8:30 p.m. ET), before welcoming supporters back to Gillette Stadium for the home opener on Saturday, April 27 vs. D.C.
