Welker spent six hugely productive seasons with the Patriots before leaving the team through free agency in 2013. He enters Sunday with 61 catches for 648 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns. Some other Thursday injury updates from around the league: 1. Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson expects to play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, while scoffing at the suggestion he could benefit from a week off to rest his ailing groin. I know my body, he said. 2. Oakland Raiders running back Darren McFadden (hamstring) missed his second straight practice. Rashad Jennings likely will continue to eat Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. 3. Shea McClellin practiced for the second consecutive day. The Chicago Bears defensive end has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury but expects to play Sunday against the St. Louis Rams.
