I haven't heard anything substantial but I can't believe it's anything serious. After all, they released Greg Lewis and sent Terrence Nunn to the practice squad. If Welker was going to be out for any extended period of time, I'd would think the Pats would have added an extra receiver (or two).
With all the roster moves this past week you must have missed the press conference when Belichick said that Welker had suffered a grade three contusion to the subscapularis muscle and a grade two contusion to the infraspinatus muscle on his right arm. He has been receiving acupuncture as well as more traditional treatments twice daily. Although this has resulted in not being able to practice with the team on passing drills he has continued with cardio workouts in order to keep his legs and overall conditioning where they need to be. In addition he has participated in all the team's off-field activities, such as film study for the Bills game. Belichick said Welker is 'day to day' and in reference to the injury, said 'it is what it is' - also noting that he won't make a decision regarding Welker's playing status until Monday night and that he'll 'just play the players that can play, and the ones that can't play won't play'.
