New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman is among those players listed as “questionable” ahead of New England's Wild Card tilt with the Tennessee Titans on Saturday.
However, Edelman has yet to miss a game this season and all indications point to him being on the field. Edelman even said he is feeling healthier despite dealing with a series of knee and shoulder problems (via Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk).
Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman has been dealing with knee and shoulder ailments for a while, but hasn’t missed a game and said on Thursday that he’s feeling better than he has in weeks.
Those are both strong pieces of evidence that Edelman is going to be in the lineup against the Titans on Saturday night, but the team didn’t say he was a sure thing on their final injury report of the week. Edelman is listed as questionable after three days of limited participation.
Edelman's suggestion that his overall condition is an inherently positive sign for a Patriots team that has looked less than proficient in the passing game. New England passed for just 221 yards during a Week 17 loss to the Miami Dolphins, with Edelman hauling in just three of his seven targets for 26 yards.
The grisly wideout will have his hands full against Titans cornerback Logan Ryan, who ranked third in the NFL in passes defended while also the eighth player since 1980 to rack up at least four sacks, four interceptions, and four forced fumbles.
Nevertheless, it seems Edelman is progressing at the right time.
