As Reiss pointed out this week, Isaiah Stanback benefited from Aiken's injury; since the Pats played much of the game in a 3 WR set, he was on the field for the majority of snaps, although he was rarely targeted.
Edelman, who just started practicing on Friday, was only active for five snaps the entire game, but still got enough separation that Brady threw to him twice.
It'll be interesting to see how things shake out against the JEST.
[BTW, the fact that Stanback was on the field as much as he was is not insignificant; players such as Stanback, Edelman, and Pryor who have rookie deals with small or nonexistent signing bonuses can receive an extra $200+ at the end of the season for every snap they play. So Stanback will likely get an extra $10,000 or so at the end of the season for his work on Sunday; Edelman's already earned significantly more than that for his play time against the JEST and Titans.]
