It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The thing to remember is Welker was on the practice field during media access. Doesn't mean he was still there when they left. We all know the old trick of forcing a team to prepare for more than they have to.
He was "limited" for the past couple of weeks. If he had an acute injury that would resolve with time (sprain), I'd have expected to see them sit him out for a bit, then bring him back in. If he continues to be "limited," game-time decision, I am thinking more of a chronic injury (meniscus) that will require surgery at some point. It will be interesting to see if he was again "limited" today, or if he is "full".

What's the story on terdell sands? Is he any good or strictly a JAG to fill space until Wilfork returns?
Andre the Giant has been dead for years. If he was at practice, I sure hope they were practicing outside or the practice bubble is going to smell something fearce.
Here's my math on that one:Well, he got cut from the Raiders and no one picked him up, so.....you do the math on that one.
Here's my math on that one:
0 = the number of players cut by another team and picked up by someone we signed
100% = The percentage of players we signed that were not picked up by anyone else.
Every free agent we ever signed was cut from one team or another and not picked up. If they had been picked up, we couldn't have signed them!
I think it is a mistake to think that any player that Oakland doesn't want must suck or is a JAG.

Two things about the meniscus.
One, if it's a big tear, they operate and repair, but you come back from that quickly.... a few weeks.
Two, if it's a small tear, the athlete can choose not to operate and let it heal on its own, but the time for it to heal is lengthy--a few months.
For the sake of the athlete's future, doctors will recommend NOT operating if the tear is small.
The meniscus deals with issues of blood circulation, and when the tear is larger, it goes behind the knee where there is little to any circulation, and natural healing is rare.
