New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman will make his 2018 season debut on Thursday vs. the Indianapolis Colts, per a league source, marking his return from a four-game suspension and the ACL he tore in August 2017.
Edelman can thank, in part...the Boston Celtics.
Edelman has spent time working out at the Celtics' new training facility in Boston, sources tell ESPN. Edelman spent a significant number of mornings around the Celtics' training staff and used the team's Celtics weight room.
And he frequently played ping pong against Celtics star Gordon Hayward, who was a high school tennis champion in Indiana.
