Keep Welker out until the playoffs!!!!

Get healthy Duke...methinks we're going to need you.

So as it is of now. Rahim Moore won't even be available until the SuperBowl if we can get there. Duke sure does seem to get hurt alot. :(

Derek Wolfe hopefully will be ready as well for our first playoff game.

Broncos receiver Wes Welker has been cleared to play as of Monday after missing the past three and a half games with a concussion he suffered Dec. 8 against the Titans.

Welker has been traveling with the Broncos the past two weeks and was eased back into practice in Week 17, but he hasn't played a down of football since just before halftime of that victory over Tennessee. He suffered two concussions during the second half of the 2013 season.

After their Sunday rout of the Raiders, the Broncos now have a week off before they learn their first playoff opponent and begin to prepare. The team will get Tuesday and Wednesday off before practicing Thursday, Friday and perhaps Saturday, and it's already looking forward to the challenges that are to come.
