The Facts: The Patriots saw Edelman leave Tuesday's joint practice with the Saints after having his lower left leg examined by the medical staff, which was hardly what the Patriots wanted to see on Edelman's second day of practice after being activated from the physically unable to perform list. But according to reports from Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, the early read is that Edelman avoided a serious injury and thn WR was back on the field for Wednesday's practice.
Diehards Line:
Edelman was on the list after having surgery on his left foot this offseason. That operation came after Edelman broke his foot and had surgery during the 2015 season, so the obvious fear is that he suffered a setback that will knock him back out of the lineup. That apparently won't be the case.
