FOXBORO — Laurence Maroney missed the whole second half on Sunday after injuring his thigh.

FOXBORO – Wes Welker said he’s hopeful that he can play on Sunday for the first time since injuring his knee in Week 1 against the Bills.

“We’ll see,” Welker told reporters. “Everyday feels different. Sometimes your head tells you one thing but your body tells you something different.

“I haven’t missed a game in my career,” Welker continued. “It’s been hard. It’s been a long two weeks. It’s been frustrating. But it’s one of those deals where you want to make sure you’re on top of now and [get] out of the way and move on with the rest of the season.”

Meanwhile, running back Laurence Maroney, who left in the first half last Sunday with a thigh injury, told reporters that he doesn’t see any reason why he won’t be ready this weekend. The Patriots play the Ravens this Sunday at Gillette.

The Patriots came back from a 24-17 deficit in the fourth quarter at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore to beat the Ravens, 27-24, and improve to 12-0.
