New England Patriots Fear Julian Edelman Tore ACL

26 August, 2017

According to the MMQB's Albert Breer, an MRI confirmed that Edelman suffered a complete ACL tear in his right knee during Friday's preseason game against the Detroit Lions.

With 98 catches for 1,106 yards, Edelman was easily New England's leading receiver previous year, but don't expect the Patriots to miss a beat.

While nobody knows Edelman's extent of the injury, the team fears that it is an ACL tear.

An MRI is scheduled for Saturday afternoon to confirm the diagnosis. "We're all hoping for the best". Now, the Patriots will likely need him to be more of a factor in the regular season. Julian Edelman is done for the season. Knowing Belichick, whichever player is now playing the best will get the nod to start opposite from new acquisition Brandin Cooks.

Following Edelman's departure Friday, Hogan caught four passes for a game-high 70 yards and two touchdowns. "I am relentless", he told Comcast SportsNet New England. With the unfortunate news of Julian Edelman's injury, he will be one of the main beneficiaries who could step up to possible help New England continue their dominance in the league.

In fact, oddsmakers in Las Vegas anticipate no impact on the Patriots from Edelman's injury whatsoever. Now with the injury to Edelman, having a No.1 wide receiver like Cooks is needed.

The Patriots drafted him in the seventh round of the 2009 draft out of Kent State and he has 425 career receptions for 4,540 yards and 24 TDs. Tight end Rob Gronkowski is fully healthy after playing in just eight games last season, however, and wide receiver Brandin Cooks was acquired via trade in the offseason.
