Wes Welker Returns!

Last January, the New England Patriots lost one of their most important players for the rest of the regular season and the playoffs -Wes Welker. The MCL/ACL tear Welker suffered to his left knee was thought to keep the lighting quick wide-out possibly to the beginning of this season. The 29-year-old Pro Bowler planned on being available for the Patriots opening game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Ahead of schedule, Welker caught two passes from his buddy Tom Brady last night in New England’s second preseason game of the year with the Atlanta Falcons. The 5 ft 9 receiver was welcomed back to the NFL catching a six yard grab before getting hit by four Falcon defenders. Welker then brought down an acrobatic 14-yard catch that was thrown behind him. Though he only played six plays, Welker’s return to full action is great news for the Patriots.
