FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman is reportedly expected to miss up to three weeks at the beginning of training camp for an injury to his left thumb, according to multiple ESPN reporters.
The Super Bowl LIII MVP hosted a youth football camp over the weekend where cameras captured Edelman wearing his red receiver's gloves on both hands. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Edelman was seen wearing a thumb brace beneath the glove on his left hand.
