Savage Worlds (SWADE) - Implication of permanent injuries (specifically reducing an attribute by a die type) on Edges and weapon use?

FYI: I'm using the Adventure Edition of Savage Worlds (SWADE).

If a character in Savage Worlds gains an injury that permanently reduces the die type for an attribute, does that mean that all Edges that were dependantdependent on that attribute are no longer valid? If so, what does that mean for the character? Do they get to replace the Edges with something else or do they just lose it forever?

e.g. A character has a d8 in Agility and buys the Extraction Edge during char. creation, which has a prerequisite Agility of d8+. During combat, they're incapacitated, fail the Vigor roll, and roll "Broken" on the Injury Table (Agility reduced a die type).
What happens to their Extraction Edge?

Does the same rule apply for what kind of weapon they can use? Let's say they usually use a weapon that has a min. strength of d8, but the character's strength is now a d6 - can they no longer use that weapon? Does this happen while the attribute is temporarily reduced, too (as in, they get a temporary injury instead of a permanent one)? The answer to this question might seem obvious, but the reason I ask is because the character in question has the Trademark Weapon Edge, and the weapon has a min. str. of d8. If they can no longer wield that weapon, does that Edge become useless?
