Welker cleared to play in 2015

Former Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker has revealed that he has been cleared to play in the 2015 season by a concussion specialist.

The 34-year-old has suffered three concussions in the past two seasons, the last of which occurred in late 2013, but has made a significant impact on the play of the wideout.

However, Welker is adamant that he wants to continue playing in the NFL if he can find a new club for the 2015 season, after his contract with the Broncos came to an end in March.

"I knew there were concerns out there but on top of that I wanted to know for my own peace of mind," Welker told 9News.com.

"If there was something wrong, I wanted to know. For me, everything came out all good."

Welker recorded 49 receptions for 464 yards and two touchdowns in the 2014 season.
