For the first time in over a year since his ACL injury, New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman played in an NFL game this past Thursday against the Washington Redskins.
Although he didn’t record a reception, Edelman felt his effort was another step in the right direction towards full recovery.
“It was awesome, honestly,” Edelman told reporters postgame. “It’s another step in the process of trying to get healthy and playing real football. Going out and hitting guys and feeling bodies, it was just fun to be out there and experience the stadium, the crowd.
