Edelman’s Return Highlights Day 9 Action at Patriots Training Camp
Monday, August 08, 2016
Day 9 of Patriots training camp wrapped up on Sunday it was highlighted but the return of Julian Edelman off of the PUP list. Edelman was in pads for the first time in this camp and was a full participant in everything except the scrimmage.
"A lot of significance, you know you have to get your football legs back in shape and its good to have this extra weight on, its about 7 pounds so its good to get out here and run around with the pads and adjust to catching a ball with the shoulder pads, the helmet, the face mask. Going out there and trying to get as tired as possible with the pads on so you can get used to the games and stuff," Julian Edelman said after practice.
When pressed further on his status, Edelman said he was just "Day-to-Day right now."

While he did not take part in the scrimmage, he and Tom Brady did run routes on the other field while Brady was not on the field for the scrimmage. The two ran redzone plays with Brady hitting Edelman in the corner and over the middle in the back of the end zone.
They also ran plays just outside the redzone.
"Anytime you get one on one time with any quarterback its very valuable. Today me and Tom got to throw a few and that's always good to kinda see where we are at, see our timing, and have him see my mechanics, me see his mechanics, me catch his ball. It will be good to go out here and do that with multiple guys," Edelman said.
Or course, it will be Jimmy Garoppolo in the first four games.
"It's important to get ready with Jimmy, with Jacoby with Tom, with all the other receivers, all the guys on special teams, get in there and do stuff with coaches," he said.
The Summer of … Edelman?
Julian Edelman had an eventful summer. A birthday party, surgeries and now his ex. girlfriend having a kid. But Edelman said it was all good.
"It was pretty much the same, just different circumstances," he said.
But about those home runs he hit during a batting practice session at Fenway Park?
Edelman joked, "I was just dropping bombs you know, but its football season now."
The Patriots open up the preseason on Thursday when they host the New Orleans Saints. It seems unlikely Edelman will play.
Kick off is set for 7 p.m.
