Julian Edelman underwent 2nd surgery on foot for Patriots

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman underwent a second surgery on his previously broken foot, but is "on track" to return for training camp, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

What It Means:

It was reported in February that Edelman wouldn't need a second procedure after breaking his foot in Week 10. He returned for the playoffs, but was nowhere near 100 percent, and is now in a "big boot." Foot injuries aren't anything to take lightly, but Edelman is one of the tougher -- even if more injury-prone -- players in the league. As of now, expect him to be ready well in advance of Week 1, but we're not going to rule out any setbacks.

Among wideouts with at least 80 targets last season, Edelman finished the regular season ranked 21st in Reception NEP per target.
