Patriots release injury report: Spikes and Fletcher are out, Welker is probable

Found November 19, 2011 on The Rap Sheet:
PLAYERS: Devin McCourty,  Brandon Spikes,  Dane Fletcher,  Wes Welker
TEAMS: New England Patriots
The Patriots received some positive news today, as CB Devin McCourty was out at practice just a week after separating his shoulder. That’s good. The bad? He was limited and probably won’t play. We know that because McCourty was listed as doubtful on the injury report that just arrived. Figure he’s out, barring something crazy, but that does seem to indicate it’s a one-week injury. As for LB Brandon Spikes and LB Dane Fletcher, both are out. But WR Wes Welker (knee) is probable. Check out the Patriots injury report: New England Patriots Player Pos.
