CBSSports.com reports Patriots left tackle Matt Light said in an interview with CBSSports.com that he expects WR Wes Welker to recover at 100 percent following surgery to repair the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligament in his left knee. Welker, who was injured in the season-finale against Houston, had surgery Feb. 2. Recovery time could be anywhere from 6-12 months. It does not appear likely that Welker will be ready to play in the 2010 season opener, although that has not been ruled out. "He's kind of going through the gauntlet right now," Light said. "You have an injury like that, and you don't know what to expect. But the guys that know Wes and the guys that have played with Wes understand that he's a gamer. He's going to do everything he can to get back out there on the field. He'll be very workmanlike in his approach doing that. As a teammate, I have no concerns as to where he's going to be. When he's ready to play he'll be back out there making plays the same way he's done his entire career. He's a guy you want to play with. He's a guy you want as a teammate, you want him in the locker room, his passion and drive for what he's done is the best of the best."
