In the first quarter of Week 17's game against the Texans, Patriots receiver Wes Welker has left the game following an injury.
Patriots’ Welker Hurts Leg Vs. Texans, Injury Appears Serious
Given that Welker’s left leg buckled while making a juke, and he was seen crying on the sideline, this suggests to me that his injury is related to one of his knee ligaments. Such speculation is preliminary, of course, but FanHouse suggests that his status for the playoffs may be in doubt:
Welker VERY emotional on the sideline .... looks like a guy who might have just been lost for the playoffs.
We’ll have more details on Welker’s status as they become available. Stay tuned.
UPDATE: Here’s a still of Welker’s injury, just as the knee buckles.
