The New England Patriots will be getting a big boost on a short week, as Julian Edelman will be making his season debut.
After serving his four-game suspension, Edelman will be playing in a regular season game for the first time since 2016. Due to a season-ending ACL surgery, Edelman was never available for the Patriots last season.
Since he has missed so much time, a bit of rust has to be expected for Edelman. Since he hasn’t been able to practice due to the suspension, Edelman coming back on a short week isn’t ideal.
