Report: Julian Edelman suffered a broken thumb, may not play in preseason

We now know what exactly Julian Edelman did to his thumb. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Thursday that the New England Patriots wideout is recovering from a broken thumb, which he suffered about three weeks ago while playing catch. Rapoport also mentioned that Edelman may not play in a single preseason game.

The injury that #Patriots WR Julian Edelman is recovering from is a broken thumb, sources say. He actually injured it playing catch three weeks ago, which is why he should miss just a few more weeks and be fine for the season. He just may not play in a preseason game, but 🤷🏽‍♂️.

No big deal. Edelman should be fully recovered in about three weeks. The good thing is, he can still stay fully conditioned while recovering, which means he won't fall behind his teammates in preparation while he is healing.
