Could it be an act to fool Colts/Chargers? Remember the famous Pierce injury in Celtics playoffs?
I'm prepping myself for the worst. Taking everything that happened into account I'd have to guess that he tore his ACL.
There's actually a pretty simple test to see if an ACL is torn. You put one hand on his calf and one hand on his leg above the knee and see if you can shift it side to side. If it's a torn ACL then they would have known right there while he was still laying on the field.
If that test confirmed the ACL tear, that would explain Welker getting choked up on the bench, knowing that his season was over.
Again, I'm guessing about an ACL injury but if I had to put money on one scenario it'd be the one I just spelled out.
Welker is a true football player. He will play through pain if he can, and always want to win.
That said, his injury will put him on injured-reserve. Even if a sprain, will cost him many weeks to heal.
Essentially, Brady's security-blanket is lost for the playoffs.
Andleman, Watson, and Moss needs to step-up for the playoffs!
