Don't worry, Wes Welker will play

Patriots WR Wes Welker is expected to play today, but will test his ankle out pregame.

Was there ever any doubt?

Welker rolled his ankle at the end of the Buffalo game. He missed the first two days of practice but returned. There was the remote possibility that he'd miss this game, and while that still remains remote, I trust Albert Breer on this one.

Breer also reported earlier in the week that Hernandez would be out, which was also confirmed today.
