Wes Welker is officially back on the NFL’s free agent market after being cleared to play by leading concussion expert Dr. Stanley Herring, per Mike Klis of 9News in Denver.
Welker’s career had been in doubt after the scrappy slot specialist suffered a handful of concussions the past couple of years.
Now that he has a clean bill of health, Welker is ready for action, though it seems clear by his comments he was ready to call it quits if things hadn’t turned out this way:
“I knew there were concerns out there but on top of that I wanted to know for my own peace of mind,” Welker said in a phone interview with 9News.
