Anyone know what Welker's injury is? (1 Viewer)

[Velvet Revolver]

Other than he's on the Pats - why hasn't his injury details been posted anywhere? I've looked everywhere and unless Im really lame ....... there's no specifics..

Do we have a homer around that knows why he's missed the last couple of preseason games and been held out of practices..??

Any info is appreciated - I have Brady and Welker thinkin this combo is ripe for a huge year BUTT - 1st Brady has his shoulder scare and now Welker has a mystery injury....

I don't know what the injury is, but it is said to be minor and he is not expected to miss any real action. I hurt bruised ribs as a possible explanation, but I could not get anyone of note to confirm that. I would not worry too much at this point about either Brady or Welker.

that's a big butt......look, pats don't release any more injury info than they have to, and they don't have to tell you about this.why should they release anything?belichick is probably not all that concerned about your fantasy teams.supposedly welker will be back for week 1, so stay positive.

Asking for injury status about any Patriot on a message board is a waste of time. No one on this board is going to have any insider information regarding Belichick's injury report. If they do they are either A. About to be fired as soon as they found out it was leaked. Or B. Lying.

Your best bet on Patriot news is Mike Reiss. He's the Globe's beat reporter. You can get to him by this link for now but he has signed on ESPNBoston to be the lead writer. Don't read the Ron Borges of the world or really anything from the Herald since it's usually utter nonsense.

Here is what he posted about Welker today.

Where’s Welker? Receiver Wes Welker, who has been sidelined with an undisclosed injury, answered questions from reporters and said he’s working hard to return. He hopes to be ready for the season opener, but cited team policy in deciding not to answer a question about his level of concern with his health situation. “We really don’t speak about those things,” he said.

And another note about Reiss. He is very responsive to emails. I've had several questions/concerns/comments replied back very quickly. He's good people.
