For the third time during his brief tenure with the Broncos, Wes Welker has suffered a concussion.

Welker took a hard hit to the helmet from Texans safety D.J. Swearinger during Saturday night’s preseason game, drawing a 15-yard penalty. Welker immediately left the game and the Broncos confirmed afterward that he had suffered a concussion.

The 33-year-old Welker also suffered two concussions last season, one in Week 11 and one in Week 14. This is the third concussion Welker has suffered in his last 10 games.

Might be time to seek non-contact employment.

Looks that way.

Hearing him speak is a struggle.

I don't think Wes Welker is the kind of guy who would walk away from the game. He will have to be forced to stop playing. Unfortunately another concussion or two may actually force him out of the game if this latest one hasn't already.

There are already murmurs out of Denver about Welker playing in week #1.

The guy bounced up pretty quickly.

It may not have been as bad.

Two words

Emanuel Sanders

When he starts signing his checks "Tom Brady" then I'd worry.

Might be time to scoop up Sanders on the waiver wire to replace Welker.

Sounds like the evaluation test they gave him last year when he got his first concussion of the 2013 season. He then went out and got his second concussion three weeks later.

I don't think he'll quit now. They're too close to the season and in contention.

Probably hoping to ride off into the sunset with Peyton.

Another concussion or two and he will be riding a wheelchair into that sunset.
