Patriots WR Julian Edelman expected to miss time following knee surgery

by

Paul Rutherford-USA TODAY Sports

If the Patriots bounce-back this Sunday with a win against Buffalo, they’ll have to do it without their go to receiver Julian Edelman.

Now, it’s been no secret Jules has been dealing with something this season, and not his normal fighting through injuries thing either, he’s been really hurt. News that he was absent from practice surfaced earlier before Jeff Howe reported that he’s expected to miss game action due the knee injury which has been ailing him all season.

The first drive of the game saw the Patriots move nicely into Bills territory before Rex Burkhead fumbled after receiving a screen pass from Tom Brady.

Buffalo then counter-attacked before stalling midway into the Patriots side of the field, Josh Allen overthrew Dawson Knox in the end zone and they had to settle for a field goal to take the games first lead. Brady then led the team downfield with completions to Rex Burkhead, N’Keal Harry, Ben Watson, and then finding Matt LaCosse for an eight-yard touchdown score.

Patriots vs 49ers – Player Ups & Downs

STEVEN SENNE AP

Still reeling from yesterday’s loss, and it still hurts now as much as it did then. Don’t expect much positive stuff this week, I can’t sugarcoat it. Here are the ups and downs from Week 7.

Ups ⬆️

Jakobi Meyers

Yes, my only up from yesterday is the performance by Meyers. Now, it wasn’t anything special that will go down in Patriots folklore, but, in a game where the Patriots offense couldn’t do anything, Meyers made some nice catches and was one of the few to actually get open for both quarterbacks.

The Patriots future is cloudy, the season, in jeopardy

I want to say I’m surprised by the result today, but in all honesty, I’m not. We knew things were going to be different, there was a mix of excitement and trepidation when training camp started, but now, the wheels of this team are beginning to show signs of decay.

And this isn’t just about Tom Brady. Yep, it hurts a bunch when Bill suffers his worst home loss since he took over as head coach in 2000, and Brady slings 350+ for 4 touchdowns. But this is about the Patriots in 2020, and it’s important to look forward, not back.

The offense is currently non-existent, Cam has had two terrible games since he returned from the COVID list, I barely knew Edelman was in the game, and the team can’t stop turning the ball over. The defense has shown flashes of brilliance in some weeks, and signs of concern in others.

The Patriots needed some good injury news, and they got some last night when the news that David Andrews was being activated to return from IR. With Shaq Mason also back in practice, the offensive line can start to re-stabilize and hopefully have some consistency back.
