Dr. O’Neill was invited to speak with WGIR- AM610 this morning regarding the knee injury to Patriots’ offensive force, Wes Welker, that occured during their last regular season game on Sunday.
Welker was injured in the first quarter when he tried to plant his left foot after making a catch. He was helped to the sideline by members of the Patriots’ medical staff, then buried his head in a towel while sitting on the bench. Welker was later carted to the locker room.
Reports say this injury will presumably end Welker’s season just as the Patriots’ prepare for next Sunday’s AFC wild-card game against the Baltimore Ravens.
When asked, Dr. O’Neill agreed that this would most likely be a season ending injury for Welker. ” You knew watching the play that it wasn’t going to be good” stated O’Neill. “And then seeing him on the sidelines going through the emotions- he knew that was it.”

During three days of competition, four-time Olympian and current World Champion Todd Lodwick placed in the top 10 on all three days. Three-time Olympian and 2009 World Champion Billy Demong placed in the top 10 in the first two competitions, and in the top 15 in the third race. Two-time Olympain Johnny Spillane also placed in the top 10 in the first two competitions and in the top 15 in the third race after a disappointing misstep and fall in the final hill-climb. Olympian Brett Camerota had his first ever top 10 finish in the Ski Jump, and skied to his first top 20 finish ever. Olympic hopeful Brian Fletcher demonstrated excellent resolve as an upcoming athlete early in his World Cup career. Dr. Chen treated athletes for minor injuries, and was instrumental in helping Billy Demong return to full level of competition.
