New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman suffered a broken foot on Sunday Night Football. He suffered a Jones fracture, which is the same injury Dez Bryant suffered earlier this season. Edelman underwent surgery to repair the break on Monday and the team is hopeful he'll be ready to return for the playoffs.
Fantasy Analysis:
Returning for the playoffs is very realistic. Assuming they get a first round bye, the Pats first playoff game won't be for nine weeks. Everybody heals differently, nevertheless, that's a lot more time, relative to football, than it took Bryant to return to action.
