Julian Edelman skips trip to N.Y.

— -- EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New England Patriots will be without Julian Edelman for Sunday's road game against the New York Jets, as their leading receiver did not make the trip with the team, a source confirms.

Edelman, who has been playing through a thigh injury, also sustained a concussion within the last week. Edelman's concussion was first listed on the team's injury report Wednesday and he was limited in practice all week. In last Sunday's win over the Dolphins, Edelman caught a team-high seven passes for 88 yards and converted a first down on a 6-yard run, playing through the fourth quarter.

The Patriots did not make a roster move by Saturday's 4 p.m. ET deadline to account for the void.  Tim Wright -- who has receiver-type skills -- also could see an increase in playing time.

The Boston Herald earlier reported that Edelman did not make the trip with the Patriots.
