People make fun of New England's secretive injury reports, but the lack of information works. That's how a star like Wes Welker can miss the first week of training camp (not to mention a June minicamp), and no one even notices. The focus is on the healthy players. The injury probably isn't serious, but no even knows what the injury is. The Boston Globe's sage beat writer Mike Reiss says the situation could be similar to last camp, when Randy Moss sat out most of practice. I tend to agree, but I also know people weren't concerned with Richard Seymour at this point last year. He missed the first seven weeks of the season.

Welker looked healthy when Rotoworld talked to him this summer, but a similarly ranked injured player on another team would undoubtedly create a bigger stir. Welker shouldn't be moved on draft boards, of course, but keep an eye on him.
