Small brace over left thumb
Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman, spotted at his youth camp over the weekend with a small brace over his left thumb (see below photo), is expected to be sidelined about three weeks due to the injury, league sources tell @FieldYates and me. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Edelman is the most stable and veteran wide receiver on the Patriots roster so while it’s not ideal that he’s missing a good chunk of training camp, this injury shouldn’t ding his fantasy value too much. With Edeleman out, N’Keal Harry, Phillip Dorsett and Dontrelle Inman should get more work.
