Julian Edelman Injures Surgically Repaired Foot; Initial Reports Indicate It's Not Serious

BOSTON (CBS) -- The news on recovering wide receiver Julian Edelman has been all positive this camp. Until Tuesday.

Edelman, who was taken off the PUP list on Sunday as he works his way back from offseason foot surgery, participated in Tuesday's Patriots practice with the Saints. He looked to be himself ... before his day ended prematurely.

The injury appeared to be in Edelman's left foot, which is the same foot which required surgery in the offseason.

Fortunately for the Patriots, whatever the injury was, it wasn't severe enough to require Edelman to take a cart to the locker room.

Prior to suffering the injury, Edelman was carving up the Saints' secondary.

Edelman initially injured his foot last year in Week 10 against the New York Giants. He underwent surgery which allowed him to return to the Patriots for the playoffs. He caught 10 passes for 100 yards in the divisional round win vs. Kansas City before catching seven passes for 53 yards in a loss in Denver in the AFC Championship Game. He underwent a second surgery in May but was expected to be healthy in time for the 2016 season.

UPDATE:

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that the early examination on Edelman yielded positive results for the Patriots.
