The Facts: According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Edelman will miss approximately three weeks with a thumb issue. He’s currently wearing a small brace on his left thumb.
Diehards Line:All indications are the injury is minor. Meanwhile, as PFT notes, with Edelman on the sidelines (along with the physically unable to perform Demaryius Thomas), the Patriots will take a look at a number of new targets the next few weeks, including first-rounder N'Keal Harry and free agent addition Dontrelle Inman, part of an aggressive remake of their receiving corps.
