OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker says he injured two knee ligaments last season, but only one required surgery.
The NFL’s receptions leader said Saturday at the Wes Welker Foundation’s football camp that the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee were injured during the Patriots’ final regular-season game. Welker, who missed the playoffs, says the MCL didn’t require surgery and “if you have that healing on its own, it almost becomes stronger.”
Welker still isn’t certain when he’ll return to the field, but says the fact he didn’t need surgery on the MCL was “great news.” Welker says providing a timeline for his return will only lead to more questions if he doesn’t return at that time.
