Report: Julian Edelman Expected to Miss Three Weeks With Thumb Injury

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman is expected to miss three weeks with a left thumb injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter and Field Yates reported on Monday.

According to Schefter and Yates, Edelman was spotted wearing a brace on his left thumb at his youth camp over the weekend. It is uncertain whether he suffered a break of a sprain while catching a pass.

New England opens training camp this week and will now be without Edelman, retired tight end Rob Gronkowski and suspended wide receiver Josh Gordon. Running back Sony Michel and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas will open camp on the physically unable to perform list.
