Wes Welker is comfortable suiting up for another season despite concussion concerns.
The former New England Patriots and Denver Broncos receiver told 9News.com’s Mike Klis that he saw concussion expert Dr. Stanley Herring after the 2014 season concluded and was cleared for 2015.
“I knew there were concerns out there but on top of that I wanted to know for my own peace of mind,” Welker told 9News.com in a phone interview. “If there was something wrong, I wanted to know. The doctor said some people are able to take those hits. They get up and are able to come back from them. And there’s some people who get them and they’re never the same.
“For me, everything came out all good. My cognitive tests were good. All kinds of tests came out good. I had a trip to Miami and their doctors said everything looked good.”
Welker remains a free agent and has only taken one visit, with the Miami Dolphins, this offseason.
