Edelman: Broken Foot, Likely Back for Playoffs

[PatriotsPimp136]

Are you serious?

Lol. The next 3 games will be huge. The donkeys look like crap but any given sunday.

It's a 6-8 week recovery, if there are no setbacks, and if they don't screw it up by pushing the healing. If there's a setback, it can become up to 20 weeks in a cast. We all know that there's no such thing as a report saying "surgery was unsuccessful", so we'll have to wait the 6-8 weeks after tomorrow's 'successful surgery' to see how this plays out.

That's pretty much all there is to know about it, so I'll be bowing out of this thread now.

When somebody is seriously hurt, I'm always relieved to hear he's been taken to a nearby hospital. Going to a faraway hospital seems cruel.

That's like when they say a movie will be in a theater near you, and sure enough it is. I can't figure out how they know where i live.

Deion Sanders thought, if welker hadnt signed last week with STL, pats would signed him. I doubt it though.Wes is too slow right now.

Surgery is quickest way to return from Jones fracture Timeline could be 6-8 wks if no setback @Edelman11 @Patriots

The playoffs start in 9 weeks if they get the bye.

Is he getting the same surgery that dez got or different?

Also, it's very common in basketball and the 6-8 weeks apply there, to guys that have to run and jump and land on it all game long. Of course, if it doesn't heal well, it's see you next year.

Yeah, I mean to take snaps from DA? JE is not a slot WR.

It would be almost 9 weeks if we get a bye

This is arguably a better outcome than a high/severe ankle sprain, which can really linger for up to 4 months. I broke my foot last year and once it healed, the lingering effects were minimal for what that's worth.

If JE is good to go for the playoffs, we're back in business.

Amendola's ok but he has a hard time getting open. Idk. We need guys like lafell to step up. I wish dobson would but he's a lost cause

If Amondola can provide 80% of Edelman's normal production Ill be happy. Question is going to step up and take Amondola's spot in the offense as the third or fourth option? If ever there were a time for Dobson to show up, this is it.

According to some of our posters, we should be perfectly fine with the fact that the Pats are suffering injuries at an alarming rate. Every week it seems like someone is getting knocked out of the game for an extended period of time.

Getting Collins back and a healed line will remedy a lot of the current problems. Jones injury is bad but not a season ender. The D can carry them the rest of the way until Jules comes back.

Wait, what "Jones injury"???????

Thats the name of the type of injury he has.

Ha. Don't worry, it's the name of the type of injury Edelman got and nothing to do with Chandler Jones.

True. I have no doubt he'll be back in time for the play offs but you have to wonder what 6-8 weeks of inactivity will do to his game.

It's called "depth", and the only season enders to this point have been Solder and Lewis.

 

[raduray]

And this is how you fix it. All you need is a knife and a power drill.
