Julian Edelman should be just fine.
The Patriots receiver suffered a chest injury in the team's 30-14 win over the Jets, but early indications are the injury isn't serious and likely won't force him to miss Week 4.
"He’ll be good," an unnamed source told NFL Media.
Edelman appeared to sustain the injury in the second quarter of the matchup and initially was listed as questionable to return.

It was later reported Edelman suffered a rib injury, though X-rays were negative.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick didn't have an update on Edelman's status after the game, but quarterback Tom Brady admitted the offense struggled without him, especially when it briefly lost fellow receiver Josh Gordon as well.
"When you're missing your best players, it gets more challenging and your margin of error goes down," Brady told reporters. "Every team deals with it."
New England's receiving corps was already thinned Friday following the release of Antonio Brown, so Edelman's availability will be closely monitored this week.
The Patriots (3-0) are slated to visit the Bills (3-0) at 1 p.m. ET Sunday.
