I heard similar chatter on NESN that more or less said the same thing.

Branch was shut down for 7-8 weeks in 04 b/c of a leg injury. Same year he wins SB MVP.

I assume "shut it down" means get the knee situation properly diagnosed, drain/clean it out, and whatever the course of teatment subscribed ensures that he'll be 100% healthy for the playoffs.

Nowhere does it say IR. My goodness.

Not to mention, he specifically says he's speculating.

I didn't read Reiss' comment as suggesting Welker would be done for the season, but "return to full health" is a little vague on timetables.

I would hate to see Welker out for long.

Hopefully nothing comes of this and we get Welker back soon.

Somebody like Reiss speculating is probably a little more significant than most in the media, but I did not get the feeling he knew anything specific.

Even if it's true (and I suspect Reiss had some basis as he's not one to blindly speculate), it's clear that he means he may have to go out for some period of time to get the knee cleaned out and to fully recover from that procedure. That's a lot different than having season ending surgery.

In this case, though, he specifically said he's speculating :

I'm more worried about the obvious omisions from that statement.

No mention of Moss?

Am I reading this right?

Does the total lack of any mention of Moss mean that the Patriots are hiding a season ending injury to him?

reiss is good and maybe connectedto the pats but he knows nothing absolute either.only the pats know.

hehe. OT, but by any chance, do you have IA's solo album Walk into Light? I love that album and can't find it anywhere for less than $60.
