Very un-BB like but, makes you wonder if they're already looking past this one.

Not looking past it, but given the non-conference opponent this week (meaningless in tie-breakers) and the conference opponent next week (huge in tie-breakers) it may be more important to have a 100% healthy Welker for Baltimore than a 75% healthy Welker for Atlanta. Add in the weather situation and I guess I can understand it. The one thing I don't get is having Welker stand on the sideline for 3 hours with a knee injury. Hopefully he can be in a nice warm and dry recliner somewhere watching the game.

Welker will be far more crucial for Ravens game than today.

If standing around in cold weather was detrimental to his knee, he would not be there today. Trust me.
