The New England Patriots appeared to dodge a bullet with one injury but might be unlucky with another.
Early on Tuesday, there were reports that wide receiver Julian Edelman had potentially re-injured his surgically repaired foot, but it doesn’t appear to be serious. However, there’s a good chance they’ll be without defensive end-linebacker Rob Ninkovich for an extended period of time.
DE Rob Ninkovich tore his triceps. It is unknown how long he will be sidelined. If he returns, how much loss of strength affects him is key.
If it’s fully torn, Ninkovich could be out for the season.
