Edelman, Vollmer Expected To Be Back For Playoffs

BOSTON (CBS) -- The Patriots will be without Julian Edelman and Sebastian Vollmer on Sunday for their regular season finale, but they should have both players back in two weeks for the playoffs.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, both Edelman and Vollmer are on track to return for New England's divisional round game, which will take place on either January 16 or 17.

Edelman has been sidelined since November 15, when he broke a bone in his foot against the New York Giants. Vollmer injured his ankle last week against the New York Jets.

Getting both players back for the postseason should provide a big boost for New England's offense.
