Englewood, CO (SportsNetwork.com) – Denver Broncos coach John Fox said wide receiver Wes Welker is ‘doing good’ after suffering a concussion in Saturday’s game against Houston.<\/p>\n
Welker was hurt after taking a hit from Houston defensive back D.J. Swearinger late in the second quarter. It was his third concussion in the past 10 months.<\/p>\n
Fox was unsure when Welker would return and said the team would take it one day at a time.<\/p>\n
“Our first priority is his safety and his well-being,” Fox said Monday. “He’s doing good and going through the protocol now, and he’ll be out there when he’s deemed healthy.”<\/p>\n
Welker sustained a pair of concussions late last year and missed the final three games of the 2013 regular season.<\/p>\n
The Broncos also placed wide receiver Jordan Norwood on injured reserve Monday because of a torn ACL suffered in practice last week and waived defensive tackle Cody Larsen to reach the 75-man roster limit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
