stonewall 647 Posted December 18, 2014 Just popped up on the injury report. He has been playing through a thigh injury, but this is the first I've heard of this. If it occurred during Sundays game and is mild, he has a chance to pass the NFL's concussion protocol and play. However, if this occurred during practice, then things get murkier. If, by chance, he misses this week.....then it would seemingly be a big potential boost for LaFell and, particularly, Gronk. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2277006-julian-edelman-injury-updates-on-patriots-stars-concussion-thigh-and-return Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DB Cooper 6 Posted December 18, 2014 May boost Vereen's as well. He was great against Jets earlier this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dain11279 927 Posted December 18, 2014 He practiced (limited) yesterday apparently. Strange, doesn't he have to pass protocol before being even let back on the practice field? Either way this is bad news of he doesn't play. I've got Edelman and my opponent has Gronk this week. I'd have to start Andre Johnson in his place :puke: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricanrockers 39 Posted December 18, 2014 If you're playing on DraftKings/Fanduel Brandon Lafell maybe a nice play vs that horrible Jets secondary that I watch every single Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd have to start Andre Johnson in his place :puke: We'll find out today if he sustained a concussion AT practice, or if it was prior. If it was sustained prior to practice, being limited yesterday is a good sign. The odd part is that the Patriots were in shells and sweats yesterday. I don't know how much contact he would've had at practice. With that said, I'm totally screwed since my only other option is Harry Douglas who relies on Julio being out.

Listening to Fantasy sport XM and they're saying Julio Jones injury is a lot more serious than what the Falcons are saying. They're saying he has a Hip Flexor and that every time he runs, the sharp pain is there. They're speculating he won't play this week or next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard from different source it was the labrum ... either way, Julio is toast for ff and Atlanta for the duration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well in that case, if Edelman is active, is there a chance the Pats limit him to save him for the playoffs? Maybe Douglas is a better start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was pimpin' Harry like a mofo last week, and strongly back him again vs. the Saints. guy is $$$$ with JJ out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Julio doesn't start, Douglas is a must start vs NO. That's a potential shout out IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squintz82 45 Posted December 18, 2014 Looks like Edelman was present at practice today. He would need to be cleared in order to participate, and I get the vibe he did.. http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/patriots_nfl/the_blitz/2014/12/julian_edelman_present_for_todays_practice_despite_concussion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squintz82 45 Posted December 19, 2014 Limited Friday and questionable. Looks like Harry Douglas is penciled in my lineup. Edelman will likely be active and put up great numbers on my bench because the Pats don't reveal any info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flyfreak 84 Posted December 19, 2014 Evans home against gb should be a good option, but i'm like you as i'd hate to see edelman or ty go off as well while sitting on my bench i have to make the correct pick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
