Patriots WR Julian Edelman will miss this weekend’s game following a surgical procedure on his knee. We’re not expecting his return anytime soon.

If you’ve watched the Patriots’ 2-4 start religiously (and God bless you, if that’s the case), you know that Julian Edelman has looked like his old self exactly once: a personal record 179 receiving yards in Week 2 at Seattle.
