New England Patriots’ already anemic offense now has a new problem. The Pats’ reliable wideout Julian Edelman underwent a knee procedure on Thursday and will be out for “some period of time” according to sources.

Edelman, who was a Super Bowl MVP in 2018, has been dealing with this knee issue for the better part of the season. This prevented him from making his full contribution in 2020, playing 68 percent of the snaps in six games.

The 34-year-old Edelman eventually decided to do a “precautionary” knee procedure this week in hopes of getting back in full capacity for the second half of the season.

Despite the injury limitations, Edelman still managed to lead New England in receptions (21) and receiving yards (315) in 2020. However, he still hasn’t scored a touchdown this season.

With Julian Edelman out, the Patriots find themselves in a tough spot when it comes to the wide receiver position. The 2019’s first-round pick N’Keal Harry is also out due to concussion, leaving the team with veteran Damiere Byrd and unproven second-year players Jakobi Meyers and Gunner Olszewski at their disposal.

New England Patriots could be in trouble at the start of 2018 NFL season. According to various reports, including those from ESPN‘s and NFL Network insiders, Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman is facing a four games suspension from the league for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substances policy.

Edelman appealed, hoping to overturn the suspension or at least reduce it. He also issued a statement via his Instagram profile on Friday.

“I am very sorry–I don’t know what happened,” – wrote Edelman. “I’ve taken many, many tests obviously over the course of my career, and nothing like this has ever happened. I apologize to the Kraft family, my coaches, teammates, and fans. As this matter is being appealed, I can’t say anymore but no matter what, I will be ready to play and pursue another championship with our team and for Patriots fans around the world.“

Julian Edelman missed the entire 2017 season due to an ACL injury and just recently recovered in full. During his rehabilitation process, Edelman worked with Tom Brady’s trainer, Alex Guerrero, who is at the helm of TB12 Sports Therapy Center. After various media outlets linked this with the suspension, Guerrero decided to issue a statement.

“I’ve known Julian since his rookie year and he is a phenomenal athlete who takes his training seriously-it’s disappointing to hear today’s news,” – said Guerrero in a statement. “Elite athletes sometimes work with multiple coaches and health professionals as part of their training. Here at our facility, we take a natural, holistic, appropriate and, above all, legal approach to training and recovery for all of our clients. And anyone who would suggest otherwise is irresponsible and just plain wrong.“

If Julian Edelman’s suspension stays in place, he will miss Patriots’ games against the Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins.
