Recovering from shoulder surgery
Edelman had shoulder surgery last week, with the expectation of being ready for the Patriots' offseason program this spring, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The extent of Edelman's participation in the offseason program is a legitimate question mark, but there isn't any reason to believe his rehab process will extend beyond spring practices. In addition to the recent procedure to repair the AC joint in his left shoulder, Edelman was expected to have arthroscopic surgery to remove a loose body in his left knee. It isn't clear whether the second procedure has taken place yet, but it should happen soon enough if it hasn't already. The offseason has…read more

Offseason procedures on tap
Edelman is expected to undergo a pair of offseason procedures, Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: Per the report, the Patriots' top pass catcher is in line to have a scope to identify and help remove a loose body in his left knee, as well as undergo a procedure to repair the AC joint in his left shoulder. In other news, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports that Edelman, who was "arrested Saturday night in Beverly Hills, California, and cited for misdemeanor vandalism" is as a result scheduled to appear in court April 13. With the Patriots eliminated from the playoffs, Edelman -- who Zack Cox of…read more

May need offseason surgery
Edelman could require offseason surgery after dealing with shoulder, knee and rib issues during the 2019 campaign, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Per Howe, Edelman's assortment of injuries were "serious enough that they would have ended some other players' seasons." As is it, the 33-year-old toughed it out through all 16 of the Patriots' regular-season contests, as well as the team's wild-card loss to the Titans. On the heels of a 100-catch, 1,117-yard campaign, Edelman will now look to recover from his aches and pains this offseason, with or without surgical repairs. Ultimately, Edelman's 2020 outlook will hinge on the status of…read more

Rushes for score in playoff loss
Edelman caught three of his five targets for 30 yards in the team's wild-card round loss to the Titans. He added two rushes for 12 yards and a score.
Analysis: Edelman was uncharacteristically quiet, out-targeted by N'Keal Harry and logging only the fourth most receiving yards on the team. It's unclear how much nagging shoulder and knee injuries derailed his performance, but Edelman had an untimely drop early in the third quarter that stalled an otherwise promising drive. Edelman is under contract through the 2021 season, and cutting him prior to the end of the 2020 league year would result in $8.3 million of dead cap. Thus, he is likely to be back in…read more

Suits up versus Titans
Edelman (knee/shoulder) is listed as active for Saturday's playoff game against the Titans.
Analysis: Edelman has been banged up of late, but there's wasn't much doubt that he'd tough things out in the Patriots' playoff opener. As QB Tom Brady's most trusted target, Edelman figures to see his share of looks in the passing game Saturday night, in the absence of any in-game setbacks.

Listed as questionable
Edelman (knee/shoulder) is one of six New England players listed as questionable for Saturday night's playoff game against the Titans after practicing in a limited fashion this week, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: That said, the report notes that Edelman, who has battled his share of aches and pains of late, indicated Thursday in a radio interview the he feels "better than (he has) in the last few weeks." With that in mind, we have little doubt that the Patriots' top pass catcher will be available this weekend, an outcome that will be confirmed about 90 minutes prior to Saturday night's 8:15 ET kickoff.

Logs limited practice
Edelman (knee/shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Edelman has been banged up of late and certainly would have benefited from a first-round bye in the playoffs. Alas, the Patriots' Week 17 loss to the Dolphins has set the stage for a wild-card matchup Saturday versus the Titans. Though Edelman will likely be officially listed as questionable for the contest, there's little doubt regarding his availability for the Patriots' playoff opener.

Limited at practice Tuesday
Edelman (knee/shoulder) was a limited participant at Tuesday's practice.
Analysis: Edelman played through knee and shoulder issues in Week 17 but secured only three of seven targets for 27 yards, while also losing a fumble. The fact the 33-year-old is beginning the week as a limited participant bodes well for his availability in this weekend's wild-card matchup with Tennessee. However, the lack of a bye week likely means Edelman will remain less than 100 percent in the playoffs.

Rough outing in Week 17 loss
Edelman (knee/shoulder) secured three of seven targets for 26 yards in the Patriots' 27-24 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also committed a fumble, but it was recovered by the offense.
Analysis: Edelman had another atypically unproductive day, giving him a pair of sub-30-yard tallies over his final three games of the regular season. The veteran did reach the 100-reception mark for the second time in his career with Sunday's production, while his 1,117 receiving yards were a career high. Edelman will look to step his production back up in next weekend's wild-card matchup against the Titans.

Listed as active Sunday
Edelman (knee/shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Given that the Patriots are looking to secure a first-round playoff bye with a Week 17 win -- or a Kansas City loss -- Edelman will unsurprisingly tough things out Sunday. He's seen a bit of a dip in his snap share over his last two outings, but as long as he's able to remain on the field, Edelman will remain QB Tom Brady's most trusted target, a context that led to the 33-year-old pass-catcher logging a team-high six targets in last weekend's 24-17 win over the Bills, en route to securing five…read more

Listed as questionable this week
Edelman (knee/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins after logging limited practices this week.
Analysis: The 12-3 Patriots head into Week 17 looking to clinch a first-round playoff bye, which they would accomplish with a win Sunday (or a Kansas City loss). In that context, there's little doubt that Edelman will be active this weekend, an outcome that should be confirmed about 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Five catches in division clincher
Edelman hauled in five of six targets for 72 receiving yards during Saturday's 24-17 win against Buffalo.
Analysis: The wily veteran receiver entered New England's pivotal Week 16 matchup dealing with knee and shoulder issues, but he continues to be a reliable, high-floor option nonetheless. Outside of a two-catch performance against the Bengals last Sunday, Edelman has produced at least five receptions and 47 receiving yards in every game dating back to Week 5, while also providing six total touchdowns during that span. With New England still having potential to secure a first-round bye in the…read more

Returns to action
Edelman (head) returned to Saturday's game versus the Bills, Greg A. Bedard of the Las Vegas Review-Journalreports.
Analysis: After being called for offensive pass interference in the third quarter, Edelman stayed on the ground for a bit. Eventually, the Patriots yanked him from the game to be evaluated for a head injury, but tests have given the wideout the all-clear. Edelman's presence will be key for a receiving corps lacking in trust from Tom Brady.

Under evaluation for head injury
Edelman went to the locker room to be evaluated for a head injury during Saturday's game against the Bills, Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com reports.
Analysis: Edelman took on a Bills defender head-on in the third quarter and was called for offensive pass interference in the process. He remained on the turf for a spell before attempting to play through it, but eventually he underwent an examination in the blue sideline tent. If he's indeed diagnosed with a concussion, he'll be subject to the league's protocol for head injuries in order to return to the field.

Suits up against the Bills
Edelman (knee/shoulder) is listed as active for Saturday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: As expected, Edelman will tough it out in Saturday's AFC East matchup featuring the 11-3 Patriots and 10-4 Bills. His playing time share took a bit of a dip (he logged 40 of a possible 65 snaps) in Week's 15 win over the Bengals, so it remains to be seen if New England's productive pass catcher -- who recent reports have indicated has been dealing with some tendon damage in his left knee -- will be any closer to full strength this weekend. As long as he's able to remain on the field, however,…read more

Edelman (knee/shoulder) is expected to play Saturday against the Bills, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Official confirmation of his Week 16 status will arrive about 90 minutes prior to the Patriots' 4:30 ET kickoff, but it looks like Edelman -- who seemed affected by his aches and pains in Week 15's win over the Bengals -- will continue to tough things out against the Bills. Even if he's still less than 100 percent at this stage, he should factor in Saturday as QB Tom Brady's most trusted target.

Listed as questionable for Week 16
Edelman (knee/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bills after practicing in a limited fashion this week.
Analysis: We'd expect Edelman to continue to tough things this weekend, though his Week 16 "questionable" injury designation is legitimate enough for fantasy managers to want to verify his status prior to Saturday's 4:30 ET kickoff. Edelman's normally robust workload took a bit of a dip (40 of a possible 65 snaps) in this past Sunday's win over the Bengals, so it remains to be seen if the Patriots' top pass catcher -- who has reportedly been dealing with some tendon damage in his left knee -- will…read more

Remains limited Wednesday
Edelman (knee/shoulder) remained limited at practice Wednesday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Edelman toughed it out in a 34-13 win over the Bengals last weekend, playing 40 of a possible 65 snaps but offering little production (two catches for nine yards). The 62 percent snap share still represented a reduction from his usual workload, and it's worth wondering how close to full strength he'll be once Saturday's game against the Bills arrives. Per Mike Giardi of NFL Network, Edelman is believed to be dealing with some tendon damage in his left knee, an injury that could hinder his…read more

Limited to begin Week 16 prep
Edelman (knee/shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
Analysis: While it's normally a positive sign for any player to begin the week with some level of activity during practice, Edelman's limited work shouldn't be taken as evidence that he'll approach Saturday's game against the Bills at close to full strength. In the Patriots' 34-13 win over the Bengals this past weekend, Edelman was visibly hobbled as he moved about the field, finishing the day with two catches for nine yards on five targets while playing only 62 percent of New England's offensive snaps.…read more

Dealing with tendon damage to knee
Edelman played through damage to the tendon in his left knee in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Bengals, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: According to Giardi, Edelman suffered the injury a week earlier in New England's loss to Kansas City. Edelman proceeded to take a questionable designation into the matchup with the Bengals after the injury limited his participation in practice, and while he ultimately received clearance to play, he looked more hobbled than usual during his time on the field. The 33-year-old turned in his worst outing of the season, hauling in just two of his five targets for nine yards while playing only 40 of…read more

Held to nine yards in win
Edelman caught two of five targets for nine yards during Sunday's 34-13 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Sunday's numbers were Edelman's worst of the season, a product of Tom Brady's continued struggles and a Patriots defense and running game that took over the contest. Still, Edelman is arguably the only member of the passing attack that maintains consistent fantasy value. Sunday snapped a streak of eight consecutive games with double-digit targets, as Edelman remains one of the few players on the squad with an established rapport with Brady. That will be tested Sunday against a Buffalo defense…read more

Listed as active Sunday
Edelman (knee/shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: Edelman has been playing through aches and pains of late, but a knee issue cropped up on this week's injury report and it wasn't until he navigated his way through a pre-game workout that he was deemed fit to suit up Sunday. Assuming no in-game setbacks, Edelman should continue to operate as QB Tom Brady's most trusted target. He's logged double-digit targets in each of his last eight games, en route to putting up a fantasy-friendly 90/1,010/6 stat line through 13 contests.

Status hinges on pregame workout
Edelman (shoulder/knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, will put in a pregame workout early in the day before the Patriots decide on his status, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The standout slot man has suited up in all 13 of the Patriots' games to date, despite carrying injury designations into most of those contests. Edelman's availability appears shakier compared to previous weeks, but if he completes the workout without incident, he should get the green light to play and likely wouldn't face any restrictions with his snap count.

Managing knee, shoulder issues
Edelman (shoulder/knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Jeff Howe of The Athletic previously noted that Edelman's Wednesday absence was for "load management purposes," but the Patriots' practice report revealed an added layer to the equation.

Sits out practice Wednesday
Edelman (shoulder) isn't taking part in practice Wednesday in what amounts to a case of "load management" Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Per Michael Giardi of NFL Network, Edelman has dealt with chest and shoulder injuries this season and came up limping during the final quarter of Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. It's therefore unsurprising that the Patriots are inclined to manage his practice reps down the stretch, but at this stage, there's nothing to suggest that the team's top pass-catcher is in danger of sitting out in Cincinnati this weekend.

Tops 100 scrimmage yards in loss
Edelman caught eight of 12 targets for 95 yards and a touchdown and added eight yards on one carry in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: He was the Patriots' top offensive weapon in the game by far, and James White was the only other player to reach 60 scrimmage yards or see more than four targets on the afternoon. Edelman reached 1,000 receiving yards for the third time in his career with this performance, and he's now 97 yards shy of eclipsing the career-high 1,106 yards he recorded in 2016 -- a mark he could reach in Week 15 on the road against the hapless Bengals.

Analysis: Edelman has been a mainstay on the Patriots' injury reports throughout 2019 and is being listed as questionable for the ninth time this season, but like the previous eight occasions, there's no real concern about his availability for gameday. The standout slot man has played no fewer than 89 percent of the offensive snaps and has drawn no fewer than 10 targets in any game since Week 5, so that's a reasonable baseline for what to expect from him in terms of both workload and usage Sunday.

One of 17 players listed as questionable
Edelman (shoulder) is one of 17 players the Patriots list as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: Edelman logged limited practice sessions all week, so it would be a major surprise if he wasn't available to serve as one of quarterback Tom Brady's key targets come Sunday. Meanwhile, Phillip Dorsett (concussion) and Mohamed Sanu (ankle) -- who were both inactive in Week 12 -- are also listed as questionable, but the duo appears to be trending in the right direction heading into the weekend.

Limited in practice
Edelman (shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Edelman carried the same injury into the Week 12 win over the Cowboys, but ultimately suited up and recorded eight catches for 93 yards on 12 targets. No reports surfaced after the game suggesting that Edelman suffered a setback, so there's reason to suspect his limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related.

Big game against Dallas
Edelman caught eight of 12 targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 13-9 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: With rain limiting Tom Brady's ability to stretch the field, Edelman saw plenty of action on shorter routes and ended up leading all receivers in catches, targets and yards on the afternoon. The 33-year-old has gotten double-digit targets in six straight games and eight of 11 on the year, giving him a high fantasy floor heading into Week 13's road clash with the Texans.

Suits up Sunday
Edelman (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Edelman will tough it out through a shoulder issue Sunday and should remain a favored target of QB Tom Brady, in the absence of any in-game setbacks. Meanwhile, Phillip Dorsett (concussion) and Mohamed Sanu (ankle) are both inactive, a context that will lead to added Week 12 opportunities for N'Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers.

Listed as questionable
Edelman (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys after logging limited practices all week.
Analysis: Of the dozen players listed as questionable on the Patriots' Week 12 injury report, we'd guess that Edelman is among those least likely to miss this weekend's contest. Meanwhile, the statuses of fellow wide receivers Mohamed Sanu (ankle) and Phillip Dorsett (concussion) seem less certain, and there's a chance that clarity on their availability won't arrive until the team's inactives are released in advance of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Remains limited at practice
Edelman (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: So far there's been nothing to suggest that Edelman's Week 12 status is in danger, though it's plausible the Patriots will list him as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys anyway. Meanwhile, fellow receiver Mohamed Sanu (ankle) missed his second straight practice Thursday, while Phillip Dorsett (concussion) returned to a limited session.

Limited by shoulder issue
Edelman (shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Edelman avoided the Patriots' Week 11 injury report, but he's back on it thanks to the shoulder issue that previously limited his activity in practice earlier this month. Given that he saw action on 89 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Eagles, it would be surprising if his availability for the Week 12 matchup with the Cowboys was truly in any peril. That's more than can be said of fellow receivers Mohamed Sanu (ankle) and Phillip Dorsett (concussion), who were both…read more

Tosses TD pass in win
Edelman caught five of 10 targets for 53 yards and completed his only pass for a 15-yard touchdown to Phillip Dorsett in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: The third-quarter toss was Edelman's first ever regular-season passing TD and accounted for the Pats' only touchdown of the day, although the receiver is 5-for-6 as a passer in his career when Bill Belichick decides to dial up a trick play -- including a 51-yard score to Danny Amendola in the 2014 playoffs. Edelman's catches, targets and yards also led the team Sunday, and he remains on pace for his first 100-reception season since 2013.

Monster PPR effort
Edelman (chest/shoulder) caught 10 passes (11 targets) for 89 yards in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Edelman did cough up a costly fumble, but it was a small price to pay for those in PPR formats who benefited from a season-high 10 receptions. The 33-year-old was dealing with a couple of minor injuries, but he didn't seem to be hampered by either issue and was on the field for his usual share of snaps. The Patriots' upcoming bye week will help Edelman get closer to full strength before a Week 11 matchup against a soft Philadelphia pass defense (256.1 passing yards allowed per game).

Good to go Sunday night
Edelman (chest/shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: With his active status confirmed, look for Edelman - who will continue playing through his aches and pains - to maintain his high-volume role in the Patriots offense Sunday. Halfway through his team's 2019 slate, Edelman has been targeted 79 times (sixth in the NFL heading into Week 9 action) and has racked up 53 catches for 574 yards and four TDs, while helping his team carve out an 8-0 record.

Questionable for Sunday night
Edelman (chest/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens after practicing in a limited fashion all week.
Analysis: Normally, an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday would be dicey with a player listed as questionable, but Edelman is expected to suit up this weekend. Assuming that's the case, he'll continue to serve as a high-volume target for quarterback Tom Brady. Eight games into the 2019 season, Edelman is sixth in the league with 79 targets and is on pace for 106 catches, 1,148 yards and eight touchdowns.

Finds end zone twice in win
Edelman caught eight of 11 targets for a team-high 78 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Despite the addition of Mohamed Sanu this week, Edelman remained Tom Brady's primary target, as he led the Pats in catches, yards and targets while being the only New England offensive player to reach the end zone. The veteran slot receiver now has four TDs on the year -- three shy of his career high -- and through eight games, he's on pace for his first 1,000-yard campaign since 2016, and his first 100-catch season since 2013.

Gets 10 touches
Edelman caught seven of 12 targets for 47 yards in Monday night's 33-0 win over the Jets. He also rushed three times for 20 yards.
Analysis: Edelman once again led the team in looks from quarterback Tom Brady, but it marked the first time this season he carried the ball more than once. With the help of that extra ground production, Edelman made up for an uncharacteristic drop just before halftime. After back-to-back outings of 100-plus yards, Edelman was more limited in Monday's blowout, which saw rookie Jakobi Meyers tie his yardage total and tailback James White (59) pace the Pats.

Edelman (chest) is officially listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Edelman has managed to play through his lingering chest injury the last few weeks, so it's likely that he'll suit up for Monday Night Football despite his questionable designation.

The veteran receiver fell just short of his third touchdown of the campaign when he was brought down at the Giants' three-yard line on a 36-yard reception late in the fourth quarter.

Questionable for Thursday
Edelman (chest) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: The same applies to Josh Gordon (knee), but given that both starting receivers were able to log their usual allotment of snaps in the Week 5 win over Washington, the duo is expected to play Thursday. Confirmation on that front will arrive about 90 minutes before the Patriots' 8:20 p.m. EDT kickoff, when the team releases its inactive list. Five games into the 2019 season, Edelman leads the Patriots in catches (29), targets (41) and receiving yards (336) to go along with a pair of scores.

Edelman caught six of 11 targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 33-3 rout of Pittsburgh. He also rushed once for eight yards and completed a pass on a trick play for 32 yards.
Analysis: Edelman and Brady put on a clinic against the Steelers' man coverage, running drags and slants to convert crucial drive-extending plays. The Patriots' recent acquisition of Antonio Brown will add another mouth to feed to this receiving corps, but Edelman's job as the team's slot man should go unchallenged. The 2018 Super Bowl MVP should remain a solid PPR option against the Dolphins in Week 2.

Possible role reduction
Edelman could face significant competition for receptions in the form of Antonio Brown, who signed with the Patriots on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Despite Brown's size (5-foot-10, 181 pounds), the star wide receiver ran nearly 75.8 percent of his snaps from the outside with the Steelers in 2018. As a result, he shouldn't threaten either Edelman or Josh Gordon's playing time much, as all three could share the field without much interference. Edelman's rapport with quarterback Tom Brady will likely afford him plenty of targets each week, but it's hard to imagine a scenario where the 33-year-old will receive a true No. 1 receiver's workload…read more

Good to go Week 1
Edelman (thumb) didn't appear Wednesday on the Patriots' Week 1 injury report.
Analysis: Though Edelman didn't see any snaps after he took a hard fall on his left hand during the Patriots' preseason finale, the team downplayed his early departure afterward. His absence from Wednesday's injury report confirms that slot ace will be ready to play Sunday against the Steelers. As such, Edelman is poised to maintain his high-volume role in New England's passing attack.

Escapes with no thumb injury
Edelman didn't re-injure his thumb during Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Edelman didn't play any more snaps after he took a hard fall on his left hand at the end of a 20-yard reception on the game's opening drive. He may have slightly jammed his wrist, but he didn't seek medical attention and appears to have avoided any issues with his previously fractured left thumb. Edelman should be fine for Week 1 against the Steelers on Sunday Night Football.

Makes cameo in preseason finale
Edelman caught his lone target for 20 yards in Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants.
Analysis: Edelman got in some light action with Week 1 around the corner, playing just the opening drive. The shifty slot receiver is set for a hefty role as Tom Brady's favorite target once the games start to count.

In uniform Thursday
Edelman was in uniform prior to Thursday's preseason game against the Panthers, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis: Edelman did some work on the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium prior to the contest, so there's no guarantee that he'll see much, if any, action Thursday night, but it's nonetheless a good sign that he's in uniform after having just recently been removed from the Patriots' non-football injury list due to a thumb injury.

Could sit out Thursday's game
Edelman, who is bouncing back from a thumb injury, is a candidate to sit out Thursday's preseason game against the Panthers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Reiss notes that the receiver, who was removed from the Patriots' non-football injury list earlier this week, was spotted prior to the contest heading to the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium. That's a possible indication that Edelman was slated to get his work in pre-game, instead of playing against Carolina. As long as Edelman avoids any injury setbacks, New England's slot ace should garner steady volume in the team's offense, a playing context that gives the 33-year-old a respectable…read more

Removed from NFI list
Edelman (thumb) has been removed from the Patriots' non-football injury list, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Edelman was spotted on the practice field in pads Monday, so this move was expected. It remains to be seen if Tom Brady's favorite target suits up for Thursday's preseason game against the Panthers, but Edelman's thumb has healed up to the point that he can begin his preparations for Week 1 in earnest. Edelman's precise route running and excellent rapport with Brady lead to the slot ace garnering steady volume in the New England offense, a playing context that gives him a solid weekly fantasy…read more

Practicing in pads
Edelman (thumb) wore pads at Monday's practice, which likely means he's been removed from the non-football injury list, Ryan Hannable of WEEI reports.
Analysis: The transaction presumably will be announced later in the day, as players on the NFI list aren't allowed to practice with teammates. Edelman has been out all summer with a broken left thumb, but there's never been much concern about his status for Week 1 against Pittsburgh. Even with Josh Gordon reinstated from suspension, Edelman is a clear favorite to lead the Patriots in targets. The 33-year-old had a 92 to 67 advantage in targets in the 10 games both he and Gordon played last season.

Tending to broken thumb
Edelman is reportedly recovering from a broken left thumb but is expected to be ready to play in the Patriots' regular-season opener Sept. 8 versus the Steelers, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Analysis: According to Rapoport, Edelman sustained the injury approximately three weeks ago while playing catch during a workout. Per Mark Daniels of The Providence Journal, Edelman was spotted on the sideline at Thursday's training-camp session without a cast on his left thumb, signaling that he's already made some meaningful progress in his recovery from the injury. While the Patriots will likely exercise caution with Edelman and may even hold him out of the entire preseason, his usage during the…read more

Officially on NFI list
The Patriots placed Edelman (thumb) on the non-football injury list Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Edelman is facing three more weeks of recovery from a left thumb injury, so this move was more or less expected. It's unclear if the Patriots will risk a potential aggravation by having Edelman play during the preseason, but at this point in his career, he can get by with little-to-no in-game reps before Week 1. Edelman has managed 103 catches (on 153 targets) for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns per 16 games played since becoming a regular part of the New England offense in 2013.

Out three weeks with thumb injury
Edelman is expected to be out for the next three weeks with a thumb injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Spotted with a brace over his left thumb, Edelman reportedly will miss most or all of training camp. The missed practice time isn't a huge concern for a 33-year-old veteran with 115 regular-season games and 18 playoff appearances to his name. Edelman's absence should free up additional first-team work for a number of players, including N'Keal Harry, Maurice Harris and Braxton Berrios.

Extension includes $12 million guaranteed
Edelman's two-year contract extension with the Patriots includes an $8 million signing bonus, as well as $12 million in guaranteed money, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
Analysis: Edelman, who turned 33 on Wednesday, is thus under contract with the Patriots through 2021. Though he missed the first four games of the 2018 regular season due to a suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, Edelman still managed to rack up 100 catches for 1,238 yards and six TDs in 15 games (playoffs included). He then capped off his strong campaign by being named the MVP of Super Bowl LIII. Now further removed from the torn ACL that cost him the 2017 season,…read more

Finalizing extension with Pats
Edelman is finalizing a multi-year contract extension with the Patriots, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The 2019 Super Bowl MVP was entering the final year of his contract, so an extension was expected to get done at some point this offseason. Due to an ACL tear in 2017 and a four-game suspension to kick off his 2018 campaign, Edelman has not played a full season of football since 2016, but Tom Brady's most reliable wideout will remain alongside him for a 10th season and more with this extension.

Snags Super Bowl MVP honors
Edelman brought in 10 of 12 targets for 141 yards in the Patriots' 13-3 win over the Rams in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday. He also rushed once for eight yards and returned two punts for two yards.
Analysis: Edelman was the no-brainer choice for Super Bowl MVP honors on a remarkable night where he constantly seemed to befuddle the Rams' secondary. The shifty veteran became the seventh wide receiver in NFL history to garner the award, and the second one in franchise history alongside Deion Branch. Seven of the receptions and 93 of Edelman's yards came in the first half, but he provided his game-long 27-yard grab on the first possession of the third quarter. Having put a sensational cap on a season…read more

Totals 96 receiving yards
Edelman caught seven of 10 targets for 96 yards during Sunday's 37-31 AFC Championship Game overtime win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Edelman was quiet through the early stages of the contest, but he made several big plays late in regulation and overtime to boost his overall line. After leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yardage, the veteran now has 16 receptions (on 23 targets) for 247 yards through a pair of postseason games. Edelman will be a key cog in the passing attack once again in the Super Bowl against a Rams team that has been vulnerable to opposing wideouts this season.

Moves to second in playoff catches
Edelman turned 13 targets into nine catches for 151 yards in Sunday's 41-28 divisional-round win over the Chargers, while also adding a seven-yard carry.
Analysis: Edelman surpassed Reggie Wayne (93) for the second-most postseason receptions of all time, as his 98 catches are eclipsed only by Jerry Rice's gargantuan total of 151. While Edelman's no Rice, he's the unquestioned No. 1 wide receiver in New England heading into what should be a high-scoring AFC championship game in Kansas City next Sunday.

Finishes strong
Edelman caught five of six targets for 69 yards and a touchdown while adding 24 yards on two carries in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Jets. He finishes the season with 74 catches for 850 yards and six touchdowns.
Analysis: Edelman's five-yard touchdown completed the scoring with 3:26 remaining. He's the clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver for New England heading into the playoffs, which is quite a feat for a guy who couldn't even play in the season's first four contests due to a PED-related suspension.

Paces passing game in win
Edelman caught six of 10 targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-12 win over Buffalo.
Analysis: Edelman was the lone productive target for quarterback Tom Brady, accounting for more than half of his 126 passing yards. His touchdown was a 32-yarder on fourth down in the third quarter. With fellow wide receiver Josh Gordon (suspension) away from the team now, Edelman should see all the targets he can handle against the Jets in Week 17.

Strong effort in Week 15 loss
Edelman brought in seven of 11 targets for 90 yards in the Patriots' 17-10 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: Edelman paced the Patriots in receptions and receiving yardage, and his 34-yard grab coming out of the two-minute warning set New England up at the Steelers' 35-yard line. However, Tom Brady could only muster a trio of short completions to James White the rest of the way, with his final pass intended for Edelman near the goal line on fourth down failing to connect. From an individual perspective, it was another strong performance for the veteran wideout, and he's now racked up 16 receptions and…read more

Catches three passes
Edelman logged 66 out of a possible 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Vikings, en route to carrying two times for 35 yards and hauling in three of his eight targets for 25 yards.
Analysis: Edelman has had better days in terms of efficiency, but he remains heavily involved in the Patriots offense and is therefore a solid option in PPR formats thanks to his ample snap count and reliable target share.

Scores key touchdown in Week 12 win
Edelman (ankle) caught four of five targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Edelman's 21-yard touchdown broke a 13-13 tie with 1:52 remaining in the third quarter. He's eclipsed 50 yards in six of seven games played this season and has three touchdowns to boot, so roll Edelman out with confidence against the Vikings in Week 13.

Edelman (ankle) was on the field for Wednesday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Wednesday's practice is the only session of the week for the Patriots, who are on bye. Edelman was forced out of this past Sunday's loss to the Titans, but the severity of his ankle injury has subsequently been downplayed. While it's expected Edelman will be limited to some degree at practice next week, the assumption remains that he'll be able to fill his usual starting role in the slot Nov. 25 against the Jets.

Avoids serious injury
The ankle injury Edelman suffered Sunday against the Titans is not considered serious, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Per the report, Edelman is not expected to miss much, if any, time. Working in his favor is that the Patriots are on bye Week 11, which will afford Edelman added healing time in advance of the team's Nov. 25 tilt against the Jets. As that contest draws closer, we'd expect Edelman to be listed as a limited practice participant, but for now his chances of being ready to play Week 12 are looking favorable.

Exits game with ankle injury
Edelman was forced out of Sunday's game against the Titans in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury.
Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Edelman -- who was previously dealing with an ankle issue before being removed from the Patriots' injury report Friday -- caught nine of his 12 targets for 104 yards. He'll no doubt benefit from the added healing time provided by the team's upcoming Week 11 bye.

Edelman (ankle) does not carry a Week 10 injury designation in advance of Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: After being limited Wednesday and Thursday, both Edelman and Cordarrelle Patterson (neck) were removed from the team's injury report Friday. As a result, the Patriots list six players as questionable this week, in a game that will feature a coaching matchup between Bill Belichick and one of his former players, Mike Vrabel. Now minus an injury designation, Edelman is poised to maintain his high volume role in the New England offense on Sunday.

Contributes in three ways
Edelman caught six passes for 71 yards, rushed two times for 28 yards, and completed his only pass attempt for 37 yards in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Edelman literally contributed every way he could Sunday, getting involved on some trickery in the second half to help kickstart the Patriots' offense. He even almost nabbed a pass intended for Josh Gordon in the fourth quarter, but he let up at the last second to allow his teammate to make a better play on the ball and score a long touchdown. Gordon's production has fluctuated based on whether or not Rob Gronkowski (back/ankle) has been in the lineup, but Edelman's role (8.8 targets per game)…read more
