Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was asked Friday about Edelman's injury, and he said, "I don't think this is a season-ending situation."

Edelman leads the Patriots with 21 receptions and 315 receiving yards through six games.

The Patriots also ruled out second-year wideout N'Keal Harry for Sunday's game. The 2019 first-round draft pick is dealing with a concussion. It's unknown when Harry will return to the lineup.
