Julian Edelman And N’Keal Harry’s Statuses For Game vs Bills Revealed

The New England Patriots will play against the Buffalo Bills without two important wideouts. The situation looks pretty serious right now. Head coach Bill Belichick needs to come up with the perfect plan. New England ruled Julian Edelman and N’Keal Harry out for the game vs Bills. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was among the first to confirm the information.

Edelman was sidelined due to the nagging knee injury. He had to undergo a procedure, and this will keep him out of the field for quite some time. Edelman’s absence doesn’t come as a surprise right now.

Edelman was one of the few spotlights on the terrible season. He leads the Patriots in receiving yards at 315. The 2018 Super Bowl MPV has completed 53.8 percent of his passes through Sunday’s match against the San Francisco 49ers. These numbers are lowe than the numbers Edelman had in 2019. This drop may be a result of the change of personnel at the field general slot. ESPN reported that Edelman will see lesser targets in 2020. In 2020, Edelman had 153 targets.

Harry suffered a concussion in the 33-6 loss to the Niners. He is recovering from the bad hit. His injury won’t keep him off the field for a long time, but Patriots players will definitely notice his absence on Sunday. Harry has completed 19 of 32 targets for 172 yards and one touchdown.

Patriots to find replacement for Julian Edelman in the game vs Bills

New England will rely on Damiere Byrd on Sunday. The team has a few options right now, and the 27-year-old fits Belichick’s scenario.

Byrd has completed 64.3 percent of his targets for 233 yards. Halfback Damien Harris will also see targets from the backfield. The situation is pretty tricky at this point of the season, and the Patriots have lost three straight games.

Let’s see what happens in Week 8. The Bills are a big threat and they have a really good roster. Will Belichick’s team have the strength to win this game? Cam Newton better elevate his performance. The same applies to other players on the Patriots roster.
