According to FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer, Wes Welker will not play in Houston. The 32-year-old receiver suffered a concussion on Dec. 8 during a 51-28 victory over the Tennessee Titans and missed last week’s 27-20 defeat to the San Diego Chargers.
Denver has already clinched a spot in the AFC playoffs, so there’s no need to rush Welker back to the field when he’s going to be an important part of the team’s pursuit of a Super Bowl title.
Welker has tallied 73 receptions for 783 yards and 10 touchdowns this season.
