Former Patriots, Richard Sherman Wish Julian Edelman Well After Knee Injury

Julian Edelman’s knee injury could mean bad news for the New England Patriots, but, really, no one likes seeing athletes get hurt.

The Patriots believe the wide receiver tore his ACL, which would end Edelman’s season, on Friday in the team’s preseason game against the Detroit Lions. And Edelman’s former teammates immediately began reaching out on Twitter even before he got an MRI on Saturday.

Everyone please pray for my bro @Edelman11 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

That's my little brother, I love that dude to death. FYI Pats fans, I just heard from him and he's in good spirits. Prayers up for #11! 🙏🏿

It’s probably safe to say that Edelman is well-liked by his teammates, but he also got a shoutout from a rival in Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman.

Damn hate to see that happen. I'm praying for a fast recovery for @edelman11 ! Hard worker and great competitor.

The Patriots certainly will be hoping for a fast recovery, too.
