Pats inactives: Connolly, Edelman, Green-Ellis, Ohrnberger, Pryor, Simmons, Slater and Wheatley.
That leaves just four WRs (including Sam Aiken), which all but guarantees that Welker is just fine. Interesting that rookie Darius Butler is active at CB ahead of Terrence Wheatley. Pryor leaves them with paper-thin depth at DE, which could mean more 3-4 (or a lot of Burgess).
