During the third week of 2017's preseason, the New England Patriots lost their number one wide receiver to a torn ACL: Julian Edelman hurt his knee during the game against the Detroit Lions and was placed on season-ending injured reserve shortly afterwards. Since then, the 31-year old has been rehabilitating; a process that is going smoothly if reports and recent Instagram videos is to be believed.
For one, Edelman told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport in early February that he believed would have been able to play in Super Bowl LII if he were eligible to do so.
