Wes Welker back at practice

Email|Link|Comments (5) Posted by Mike Reiss, Globe Staff August 31, 2008 03:37 PM

Wide receiver Wes Welker, who was knocked out of the Patriots' third preseason game with a rib injury, returned to practice today.

Welker was present for the media-access portion of the practice, which included stretching, agility drills and some light pass-catching.

The practice was held in shorts and shells (light shoulder pads).

Players not spotted at the media-access portion of practice included:

DB Brandon Meriweather

C/G Dan Connolly

C/G Russ Hochstein

TE Benjamin Watson

WR Sam Aiken

DE Le Kevin Smith

With only six offensive linemen present -- and with Connolly and Hochstein possibly not ready for the opener -- the Patriots might need to make a move for another offensive lineman.

Denver just released Dylan Gundy a 4th year O.G.
Anyone know him?
Shannahan is a great O-line Selector. Can this guy help out

Mike, what's the word on Meriweather's injury?

K, that's Willie Andrews. Willie Anderson was the former pro-bowl right tackle that was just released by the Bengals.
