Patriots’ WR Julian Edelman Gives Blunt Update On His Injury

Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman played through an injury, but he really helped the team win the game against the Washington Redskins.

Edelman provided an update on his injury. A blunt update.

“Feeling a day better than yesterday, that’s for sure,” he said. “I’m just saying, that’s, like, regular biology.”

Edelman is one of the greatest wide receivers in the NFL.

Julian Edelman is a 33-year-old, 5-10, 186-pound wide receiver whose inclusion on any list of the NFL’s best wide receivers leads to mass gaslighting,” Tom E. Curran wrote.

“Edelman? Julian Edelman? Dear God, be more Boston. You can’t. I have a dozen friends who could walk out in jeans and catch eight passes for 80 yards from Brady doing what Edelman does.”

“The outrage. The derision. The allegations of parochial sensibilities gone wild and a curious willingness to embrace the plucky white guy. All of it comes cascading down. Anyone who knows anything, we are told, understands that Edelman is a propped-up, photogenic widget. We only know his name because he happens to fit the suit previously worn by Troy Brown and Wes Welker. Nobody’s falling for the banana in the tailpipe and pretending that Julian “Right Place, Right Time” Edelman is anything but a byproduct of his surroundings. Everybody out there is too sharp for that.

“These wide receivers listed ahead of Edelman on the most recent edition of the NFL’s Top 100.

Nineteenth. The 19th best wideout going into the league as voted on by his peers. Edelman cannot be one of the best wide receivers in the league because he doesn’t look like what a great wideout is supposed to look like. His playing style is different, he doesn’t run similar routes, he’s not a “score from anywhere on the field threat,” he doesn’t jump over cornerbacks and he can’t catch the  ball with two fingers. Those things, we are supposed to believe, are the attributes necessary to get in the conversation.”

Well, that’s pretty much everything you should know about Edelman’s injury.
