The New England Patriots will be without Julian Edelman for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Buffalo Bills, and it might not be the only matchup the veteran wide receiver misses in the near future.
NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported Saturday that the Patriots are expected to put Edelman on injured reserve. A player placed on injured reserve must miss at least three games.
