    Denver Broncos receiver Wes Welker is expected to be held out of the team's final two regular-season games as he recovers from two concussions in a span of three weeks.

    Welker resumed light physical activity Thursday. On Friday, he will be formally ruled out of the Broncos' road game Sunday against the Houston Texans, according to a team source.

    League and team sources also say Welker will be held out of Denver's regular-season finale Dec. 29 against the Oakland Raiders.

    The team's hope is that Welker, who left games in Week 11 and Week 14 with concussions, will recover in time to play in the postseason. Welker continues to be evaluated by the team's medical staff and an independent doctor as part of the league's concussion protocol.
