Report: Patriots WR Julian Edelman Needs Offseason Surgery

Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman will need multiple offseason surgeries, according to the Boston Herald's Karen Guregian. The surgeries are reportedly to repair a separated AC joint in his left shoulder and an injury to his left knee.

The Athletic's Jeff Howe noted earlier this week that Edelman's injuries were serious enough that they "would have ended some other players' seasons." The Patriots WR also dealt with a rib injury, but there has been no reporting to indicate if that will need surgery.

Edelman caught 100 passes this season, crossing that plateau for only the second time in his NFL career.
