Julian Edelman among 8 Patriots listed as questionable for Week 17

Another uncertain week for Julian Edelman.

The New England Patriots have listed eight players as questionable for their Week 17 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

The questionable Patriots are wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee/shoulder), linebackers Jamie Collins (shoulder), Ja’Whaun Bentley (knee) and Shilique Calhoun (illness), tackle Marcus Cannon (ankle), safety Terrance Brooks (groin) and cornerbacks Jason McCourty (groin) and Jonathan Jones (groin). Brooks was a new addition to the report on Friday. All eight players were limited in practice.

Edelman has been dealing with an injury since he suffered a chest injury in Week 4. He has also managed knee and shoulder problems. McCourty exited Week 16 with his groin injury, and Jones missed Week 16 with his groin injury. Collins was a late addition to the injury report last week, but played despite the issue.

The Patriots kick off against the Dolphins at 1 p.m. on Sunday at Gillette Stadium.

Six players limited, Shilique Calhoun misses Patriots practice for Week 17

Patriots defensive end Shilique Calhoun missed Thursday’s practice with an illness.

The New England Patriots are fairly healthy after 16 weeks of football.

New England plays the Miami Dolphins on Sunday and only one player missed practice on Thursday, with six players limited. Shilique Calhoun was the lone absent player and he was out with an illness. Calhoun started his first NFL game this year and he’s played a career-high 14 games this season. He’s made an impact as a pass rusher and in the special teams unit.

The six limited players included Julian Edelman (knee/shoulder), Ja’Whaun Bentley (knee), Marcus Cannon (ankle), Jamie Collins (shoulder), Jonathan Jones (groin) and Jason McCourty (groin). The three most important players on that list included Cannon, Edelman and Collins.

The New England Patriots had a low-speed practice on Christmas Eve ahead of the Miami Dolphins matchup.

Marcus Cannon, Jason McCourty and Jonathan Jones all were present at practice after missing last week’s game. McCourty left the game with a groin injury, Cannon exited the game with an ankle injury and Jones missed the game entirely with a groin injury.

Julian Edelman and Tom Brady were present as well.

The Patriots are looking to clinch a first-round bye with a victory against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Marcus Cannon, Jason McCourty exit Week 16 with injuries

A tough first half for Patriots injuries.

The New England Patriots saw starters on both side of the ball leave the game in the first half of Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills. Right tackle Marcus Cannon (ankle) and cornerback Jason McCourty (groin) departed the game, and the Patriots declared both players as questionable to return.

Cannon wasn’t on the injury report this week, so it appears he flared a relatively new injury. He limped off the field before getting replaced by Marshall Newhouse. McCourty was limited all week with his groin injury — he also missed Week 15 and Week 13 because of it. It seems to have hampered him in recent weeks. His departure is particularly costly, with cornerback Jonathan Jones declared out before the game.

We’ll keep you updated if either player returns in the second half.

Marcus Cannon not present for start of practice in Week 12

Another question mark at tackle?

New England Patriots tackle Marcus Cannon was not present for the media portion of practice on Friday during Week 12 in the team’s final practice in preparation for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Cannon had not been listed on the injury report earlier this week.

Receivers Mohamed Sanu (ankle) and Phillip Dorsett (concussion) were present for practice. But it’s unclear at what level they were participating. Sanu, for example, was present at practice on Wednesday but didn’t participate. He also missed Thursday’s practice. Dorsett, meanwhile, was upgraded to limited on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday.

Tackle Isaiah Wynn was present for practice. He has not been on the injury report this week, which bodes well for a potential return to the field on Sunday. He could take over for tackle Marshall Newhouse.
