Wes Welker ruled out of Oakland Raiders clash

The Denver Broncos have announced that wide receiver Wes Welker is out of their NFL clash with the Oakland Raiders.

The 32-year-old has missed his side's last two games after sustaining a concussion in their win over the Tennessee Titans in week 14.

John Fox's side have deemed that they don't want to risk Welker's health ahead of the playoffs, so have decided to leave him out of their lineup to face the Raiders.

Welker has 73 receptions on the year for 778 yards and 10 touchdowns.
