Mike Reiss of ESPN.com has offered up an “educated guess” on where Wes Welker might start the season for the Patriots.

If I had to make an educated guess, Welker will open training camp on the physically unable to perform list, and will remain there through at least the first six weeks of the regular season.

Some are wondering if he could even be ready for the season opener on Sept. 12 which would be an amazing feat coming off of knee surgery.

Welker participated lightly in some OTA work this spring and Bill Belichick hasn’t given up any specifics but says he’s “on schedule.”
