Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Assuming he plays Sunday in the New England Patriots’ Week 17 matchup with the Miami Dolphins, Julian Edelman will play a full 16-game season for just the second time in his NFL career. Edelman knocked the wood of his locker at Gillette Stadium when he was asked about the importance of staying healthy for a full season. “That’s a big goal,” Edelman said. “I haven’t done that in awhile, so it will be good to be able to go in there and play my 16th game.

Don’t Expect To See Tony Romo Play For Cowboys Vs. Eagles In Week 17
Share this: Don’t expect to see Tony Romo take the field Sunday in the Dallas Cowboys’ regular-season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles … unless disaster strikes. Although Dallas already has secured home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made it clear after his team defeated the Detroit Lions on Monday night that he hopes Romo remains on the sideline while rookie quarterback Dak Prescott remains under center against the Eagles in Week 17. “Because I don’t like the circumstance it would come under, which would be injury,” Jones explained, according to ESPN.com. There’s been some debate as to whether the Cowboys should give Romo reps with a first-round bye locked up. Prescott has been excellent this season, but with each snap

Rob Gronkowski Placed On Injured Reserve, Ending Patriots Star’s Season
Share this: UPDATE (6:30 p.m. ET): Rob Gronkowski has played his final snap of the 2016 season.

ORIGINAL STORY: Rob Gronkowski’s 2016 season reportedly is over. The New England Patriots placed Gronkowski on injured reserve Saturday, a league source told ESPN’s Field Yates. That means the Patriots tight end won’t play again this season, even if New England reaches the Super Bowl. Each NFL team can place one player on short-term injured reserve/designated to return, but the Patriots used that slot on rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who came back off the IR last week after

Share this: EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Jets fans present for the New England Patriots’ 22-17 win over New York probably wish they were among the many who stayed home and left their grey seats empty at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. The Patriots’ win goes down as another notch in Tom Brady’s belt while the Jets remain futureless at quarterback. Sure, young signal-callers Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg are on the roster, but if they’re not even good enough to play quarterback over Ryan Fitzpatrick in another lost Jets season, then how are they supposed to give fans hope for tomorrow? Brady, ageless at 39 years old, had himself a day that will be remembered for his 200th win, 60,000th yard and the toughness to throw for
