@RapSheet: #Texans S DJ Swearinger's hit to the head of #Broncos WR Wes Welker. Led with his shoulder, but hit the head http://t.co/KPUoRFb71X
@ChrisHansenNFL: Welker has to seriously consider retiring if he has another concussion.
Welker concussed?

Might have been. Took a headshot and left the game. He wasn't KO'd or anything, but it definitely rang his bell.

I'm hearing positive news about Welker's concussion tests. More precautionary than anything. Won't know for sure until after the game.

@MikeKlis: Wes Welker did suffer concussion said coach John Fox

Not good. Sanders has to get a huge bump. Cody Lattimer also needs a bump.

The look on Swearinger's face when Manning threw that TD and then went down, sought him out and rubbed it in his face was great. Manning got 15 yards for taunting so you can just imagine what he said. You could easily lip read DJ's response to him

I'm not saying Swearinger isn't an #######, because he is, but that specific hit didn't look awfully dirty to me. He didn't lead with his helmet or launch his feet and Welker wasn't defenseless. It also looks like he likely got the concussion from his head hitting the ground.

Give the man credit. He knows his strengths.

FBG's already speculating the PUP list for Welker if Denver wants to save a roster space for Prater's 4 game suspension. Getting concussed three times inside the space of a year can't be good.

Welker ducking into a fetal position on his catches, sacrificing his head for his body, will lead to this.
He can't go on the PUP. Only players on the preseason PUP can be put on the in season PUP. Once a player comes off the pre season PUP they cannot be placed on the in season PUP. IR designated to return list requires the player to miss 8 games before they can return.

He can't be placed on the PUP list since he was already active during training camp/preseason.

Asked FBGs this AM what's a good value trigger for landing Welker in redraft and got a response of 10th round or so. FWIW

Shouldn't the actual footballguy be the one firing off these e-mails?
I thought bryant was just a kind of silent partner.

Oh, i really have no idea
just drew that conclusion from the occasional threads he starts - don't seem very football related
Maybe this whole e-mail is made up.
Op should post it

Our Take:
Denver doesn't curently have a legitimate threat to unseat Matt Prater on their roster. They likely will sign someone when teams perform final cuts. Although the roster spot is extremely valuable, we don't believe Matt is in any danger of being cut. This situation might force the Broncos into placing Wes Welker (concussion) on the PUP list to juggle the roster spots.

One just gets the sense that we are seeing the unfortunate end to a stellar football career here with Welker. Hope this isn't a season ender, but regardless, I don't think you can really trust him to be a consistent fantasy threat going forward. Too many other options for Denver to go to.

that dude may be a piece of crap, but IMO the penalty on that hit was bs....he leads with his shoulder and is actually attempting to go low on welker but welker turtles up and lowers his head causing the contact to the head.....

So Sanders is a 5th rounder now?

Spot on.
That level of contact is inherent in going over the middle of the field. I've been a Welker fan since his days in Miami. I hope he hangs it up, though.

Just saw the replay. I agree. I'm not sure what the defender is supposed to do there. He flung his shoulder at Welker's midsection and Welker ducked his head into it. I think it's time the offensive guys start taking some of the blame on themselves for throwing their heads into the fire in order to avoid a big hit to the midsection. Half the time they get hit in the head it's their own fault, and every time we see a good tackle to the midsection that we applaud for being a nice clean hit it was really just a WR turtle/duck away from being a blow to the head.
When a defender is going for a big hit at some point they have to commit to it. I don't think the defensive player should be penalized for the offensive player ducking into it once they're already committed.
FWIW, John Fox said it looked like a clean hit.

There was a Welker specific email and the normal daily email which I checked. Plus an email specifically on Prater which I didn't check for news on Welker. Make sense?
