Patriots WR Julian Edelman Shares Positive Update on Shoulder Injury Ahead of Wild Card Game

Though Julian Edelman's been hobbled by various ailments for seemingly the entire 2019 season, know that he's taking his issues in stride, even with a short week ahead of him before the Wild Card round.

Edelman's shoulder has been the latest body part to bark, but he assured Pats Nation this week that he'll be a full go when the Titans come to town Saturday night.

Edelman, never one to use his issues as a crutch, told WEEI on Thursday morning, "I feel good, and that's that. I feel better than I have in the last few weeks, and I feel good enough to go out and compete at a high level."

Of course, this comes just a week after NFL Network's Mike Giardi claimed the injury is "worse than you can possibly imagine." Alright, then!

Hyperbole aside, Edelman is yet another Patriot who would've benefited tremendously from an extra week off prior to their postseason home game. We know he'll be out there Saturday, and he'd never dare to tell us anything different. But we look forward to the first post-playoffs press conference, when we're able to really learn the scope of just how hard Edelman fought to make his name in January once again.
