Patriots WR Julian Edelman (rib) returns to practice

Edelman is tough, and good.  I expect him to play, and play well.  He's a good outlet for Brady.  

 

The Bills win maybe four times out of ten in this situation (they've actually won 3 of the past 33 games, and they have a better team than in the recent past).  But it's going to be very difficult.

But you're saying there's a chance!

Julian Edelman is already back at practice.

The New England Patriots receiver suffered a rib injury that knocked him out of Sunday's victory over the New York Jets. He was back on the practice field Wednesday.

For you guys that played football, there is no worse injury. It hurts to breath, walk, bend, reach, and a cough is the worst.

Any contact is extremely painful


I've had it, and you're right -- it sucks! But I'll take it over, say, two torn achilles tendons. ;)

Edelman is one hell of a player and competitor. A throwback to another era.

It is quite possible that Edelman is too dumb to feel pain.

A player tends to protect the injury which can cause dropped passes. Its not something you can control. Been there...

I shutter every time I think about receiving a rocket pass from Josh Allen right to the rib cage. Ouch

There are degrees of severity, and not all rib injuries involve broken bones. Many consist of cartilage damage.  I have had several of the latter, but no broken bones.  Most recently was a couple weeks ago.  Yes, it hurt to cough or breathe or sneeze or blow my nose.  It really hurt to inhale through my nose as I sprayed with flonase.   This was the mildest one I've had, and now I can barely feel it.  I've also had one, from a softball game that hurt for a month or so.  It is impossible to know the severity of what Edelman had.  Whatever it was, hopefully, Taron Johnson or Micah Hyde can remind him how it feels.
