Report: Wes Welker Placed on Active/Physically Unable to Perform List
Wes Welker's recovery is on track, but he's not quite ready to come back yet.
According to ESPN.com, the New England Patriots placed the star receiver on the active/physically unable to perform list on Tuesday, but that may not be such a bad thing.
Welker and his ACL still could be ready for camp, and if he's not, there's a silver lining. The Pats currently have a glut of wide receivers to evaluate on the roster after signing Tory Holt and David Patten this offseason,and Welker being out could make that easier.
The active/PUP list also differs from the reserve/PUP list in that players on the active/PUP do not have to miss games. Welker also can be activated at any time.
