Patriots’ Edelman won’t answer if he had concussion

Published

on

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman, who took a hard helmet-to-helmet hit in the Super Bowl and appeared to be dazed after he got up, still won’t say if he suffered a concussion on the play.

In an interview with the New York Times on Saturday, Edelman cited team policy against discussing injuries and was evasive whether he had a head injury during New England’s 28-24 Super Bowl win over the Seattle Seahawks nearly two weeks ago.

Edelman took a hit to the head in the fourth quarter from Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor, but he stayed in the game despite appearing to stumble. After the Patriots scored in that series, Edelman eventually caught what would be the game-winning 3-yard touchdown with 2:06 left in the game.

Edelman finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown.

During the New York Times interview, Edelman was asked whether he thought Chancellor should have been penalized for the vicious hit.

“I don’t have an opinion on that,” Edelman said. “Kam Chancellor’s doing his job. Whether it was or wasn’t (a penalty), that’s for the refs to decide.”

Then there were even more evasive answers to the Times questions.

Did you get a concussion on that play?

“Due to our team policy, I can’t discuss that,” he said.

You stumbled after that play, but you stayed in the game. Does that mean you were not injured?

“Next question,” he answered.

Were you tested for a concussion?

“I went through all the protocols,” he said.
