According to NFL.com's Jason LaCanfora, New England Patriots WR Wes Welker (torn ACL, MCL) is expected to be fully recovered for the start of next season. Quarterbacks with late-season ACL injuries have been limited at the start of the next season, and Welker has the two ligaments torn in a more physically demanding position. Former teammate Rodney Harrison, who sustained a similar injury, expects Welker's recovery to be an 11-month ordeal, with the slot receiver not feeling right until the middle of next season.
Fantasy Take:
Welker likely won't be 100% until mid 2010 but modern medicine has reached a point where he should make a full recovery. Just don't expect anything more than fantasy WR3 production from Welker in '10.
