DT Kalimba Edwards looks like he’ll be sitting Sunday when the Lions battle the Bears in a key NFC North matchup in Chicago.  Edwards is suffering from a knee injury, and despite him wanting to go, it looks as if coach Rod Marinelli will not let him.  “The thing I really appreciate, he wants to go right now,” coach Rod Marinelli said Friday. “He had a knee brace. He’s ready to go.  He’s not ready to go, and I’ve just got to get him back where he’s full speed and humming again.”  Edwards has been held back this season already with an ankle injury (2 games) and now the knee injury.  He started off the season hot, with two sacks against the Raiders opening day.  “He started off the season like gangbusters, and he worked hard,” Marinelli said. “It is frustrating, but that’s part of the game in the NFL.”
