"Wes Welker will be a full participant in Training camp which starts next Thursday," said Gresh. Gresh went on to say that, "He has still yet to be officially cleared medically," but sources told the radio station he's expected to receive the clearance and should be a participant in camp.
"Rookies report on Sunday," said Zolak. "The big day one with the veterans is the day they actually report, they have the official run, the big test run, that is the key important day when he has his final meeting with all the doctors and they test that knee out - where he will resume full activity in all drills in training camp."
"This huge, and huge by one reason only, it completely eliminates him from being placed on the PUP, which means he's up and ready to go."
Good news for Welker, who has made an impressive recovery since injuring his ACL earlier this year.
