Julian Edelman rips Jimmy Garoppolo for not playing through injury with Patriots in 2016

Another one of Jimmy Garoppolo’s former teammates is slamming the quarterback for how he handled injuries with the New England Patriots.

Former Patriots star wide receiver Julian Edelman said on the latest episode of the “I Am Athlete” podcast this week that he and several teammates were mad at Garoppolo during the 2016 season — specifically when Garoppolo, who was filling in for a suspended Tom Brady, was ruled out of their game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 4 of the season. Jacoby Brissett, who was dealing with an injury of his own, took Garoppolo’s place.
