The picture from Adam Schefter’s tweet shows a small brace can be seen on Edelman’s left thumb while at his youth football camp from over the weekend.
The injury news comes just a few days before the start of Patriots training camp. Edelman is expected to miss the Patriots’ preseason opener against the Detroit Lions on Thursday, Aug. 8.
It remains unclear when the Patriots will allow Edelman to suit up this preseason, but likely the earliest possible return for the wide receiver would be their second preseason match up on Saturday, Aug. 17 against the Tennessee Titans.
