When Matt Patricia was the defensive coordinator of the Patriots, he saw a lot of wide receiver Julian Edelman.
Patricia, who became the head coach in Detroit this offseason, won’t be seeing any of Edelman when the Patriots pay his new team a visit in September. With the NFL upholding Edelman’s four-game suspension on Tuesday, we now know for sure that he will be out of the lineup for New England’s Week Three Sunday night game against the Lions.
Edelman will also miss a Week Two trip to Jacksonville for a rematch of the two teams that took place in the AFC title game last season.
