Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman missed the last two games of the regular season with a concussion, but he was on the practice field on Wednesday.
According to the team’s reports, Edelman was one of four players to be a limited participant in the session. Edelman was a limited participant in practice before Week 17 as well, but ultimately was held out of the finale. He’s planning on being all systems go for Saturday’s game.
“Any time you don’t get to go out and play with your teammates it’s really tough,” Edelman said, via the team’s website. “But all that’s in the past, and I’m looking forward to today and preparing for the Ravens, getting ready for this playoff game.”
Wide receiver Brandon LaFell (toe) and running backs LeGarrette Blount (illness) and Jonas Gray (ankle) joined Edelman as limited participants during the session. The only other player on the Patriots injury report was quarterback Tom Brady, who was a full participant with an ankle injury that has manifested itself on the field not at all this season.
The Ravens had two players out of practice, although there was no injury issue for either tight end Owen Daniels or linebacker Daryl Smith. As expected, left tackle Eugene Monroe (ankle) and defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan (foot/ankle) returned to practice after missing the Wild Card round.
