New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman and outside linebacker Shilique Calhoun returned to practice on Wednesday in Week 15.
Edelman was back on the field for the first time since he went on injured reserve on Oct. 31 with a knee injury. He underwent a knee procedure in late October, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Calhoun and Edelman’s returns trigger a 21-day clock to get activated off injured reserve to the 53-man roster. If they do not get added to the roster, they revert back to injured reserve for the rest of the season. They can play as soon as Sunday for New England’s matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
