Julian Edelman was quick to react to the reinstatement of fellow Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon.
Gordon, suspended by the NFL in December, is expected to return to the Patriots next week.
Within an hour of the news, Edelman posted this tweet:
Edelman has missed all of training camp with a broken thumb but is expected to ready for the season opener, Sept. 8 vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers at Gillette Stadium. And now, so is Gordon.
Patriots' Rex Burkhead, J.C. Jackson and rookie quarterback Jarret Stidham were among those liking the NFL's Instagram post announcing Gordon's reinstatement. NFL Network analyst Nate Burleson sees the Pats repeating as Super Bowl champs with Gordon rejoining the team.
