Signed early this week, veteran wide receiver Wes Welker is active for the Rams' noon game against the Chicago Bears at the Edward Jones Dome.
Welker, in his 12th NFL, was signed after the league suspended third-year wideout Stedman Bailey for four games for violating the substance-abuse policy.
Welker, 34, is a five-time Pro Bowl selection who led the NFL in receptions in 2007, 2011 and 2013. Last season, with Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos, Welker sat out the first two games due to a suspension for use of performance-enhancing drugs but came on to catch 34 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns in nine games.
