Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to the report, Welker still needs to be cleared during a physical next week. ... Meanwhile, as Boston Herald staffer Ian Rapoport explained, the significance lies more on the fact that if true, the Pats are foregoing the option of starting Welker out on the Active PUP list, which would keep several options open.
