There’s still no official word regard Wes Welker’s injury from Sunday’s loss to the Texans. All that’s known at this point is that he hurt his left knee in the first quarter and did not return. But Welker’s family is fearing the worst after seeing his reaction on the bench before being carted off.
Welker Family: ‘We’re Absolutely Sick’
“Not too good,” Leland Welker [father] said shortly after the fourth quarter started. “We’re sick. We’re absolutely sick. We take all those hits and stuff all season long. And then just one fluke cut, and he just blows it out.”
Leland Welker had not yet heard any word on the extent or nature of Welker’s injury. He just knew, like anyone who watched the play and Welker’s reaction, that it was not good. He hadn’t spoken to Welker, but his wife had.
“He was really upset,” Leeland Welker said. “He didn’t feel like talking about it too much.”
“This is the worst we’ve ever encountered,” Leland Walker said.
One of the most jarring images was Welker, one of the toughest players in the league, dabbing at his eyes on the Patriots bench before a cart came and carried him away.
“I’ve seen him look like that before,” Leland Welker said. “It was always in a losing effort or something like that. It wasn’t a good sign.”
