Julian Edelman Gives Epic Sign To Tom Brady That He’s Ready For The Season Opener

The New England Patriots had two weeks and 11 practice sessions, and they are ready for the first preseason game. Receiver Julian Edelman is ready to catch some passes from quarterback Tom Brady, and this photo says it all.

Edelman reminded Brady that he is wide open. We all know that.

The 2019 squad is packed with talent, but there are some questions we’d like to ask.

First, we’d like to know the names of all the players that won’t suit up for the game.

Here are the players that aren’t expected to play against the Lions: QB Tom Brady, RB Rex Burkhead (injured), RB Sony Michel, RB James White, WR N’Keal Harry, WR Matthew Slater, C David Andrews, RT Marcus Cannon, RG Shaq Mason, LG Joe Thuney, LT Isaiah Wynn, DE Michael Bennett, DT Lawrence Guy, LB Dont’a Hightower, LB Kyle Van Noy, SS Patrick Chung, CB Stephon Gilmore, CB Jonathan Jones, FS Devin McCourty, CB Jason McCourty, OT Yodny Cajuste (non-football injury list), SS Nate Ebner (physically unable to perform list), WR Julian Edelman (NFI), WR Josh Gordon (suspended), WR Cameron Meredith (PUP), WR Demaryius Thomas (PUP) and CB Ken Webster (PUP). 

Dan Skipper will probably start at left tackle with the Patriots’ second-string offensive line around him. Isaiah Wynn is expected to be the Patriots’ left tackle in the regular season. He isn’t ready to hit the big game yet, and this opens a lot of questions about his future availability. If Skipper provides a strong preseason, he may be the Patriots starting left tackle. If he has struggles on the field, the team may cut him out.

Kyle Van Noy is expected to be one of the outside linebackers. He may be joined by Jamie Collins, Shilique Calhoun, Trent Harris, Derek Rivers, John Simon and Chase Winovich. These players will probably play Thursday.

Maurice Harris and Dontrelle Inman weren’t noticed in Wednesday’s walk-through, and they will probably miss the opener. This is sort of strange, because both players are trying to get a place on the roster.

Braxton Berrios, Ryan Davis, Phillip Dorsett, Jakobi Meyers, Gunner Olszewski and Damoun Patterson are expected to play while Julian Edelman, Demaryius Thomas, Cameron Meredith and N’Keal Harry are not.
