Edelman Dealing with Thigh Injury

Phil Perry of CSNNE announced the details:

ESPN's Mike Reiss notes that Edelman dealt with the injury in last weeks' game:

Edelman is both a valuable player on offense and a valuable presence in the locker room, as he sets the tone for the team behind the scenes. 

Patriots wide receiver Matthew Slater told Doug Kyed of NESN about the work ethic of his teammate before and after games:

"

I can tell you, I live with him, and every day the guy—I feel like the guy leaves the house at 5 o’clock. He goes out of his way to prepare and give himself the best way he can to have success. Whether it’s taking care of his body, getting extra catches in, extra time in the weight room, extra time in film, he does it all.

"

Brady is used to dealing with turnover at the wide receiver position, but thankfully for Patriots fans, the security blanket is not in danger of missing time. 

Edelman, 28, has 59 catches for 606 yards and two scores on the season.
