While the New England Patriots are 3-point favorites for their Wild Card weekend matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, they will be minus a key player.

Patriots WR Wes Welker suffered a knee injury in the first quarter of the team’s Week 17 tilt against the Houston Texans — a 34-27 New England loss — and did not return.

According to ESPN, Welker tore the MCL and ACL in his left knee and is done for the playoffs as the team put him on IR on Wednesday.

The Patriots have owned the Ravens ever since they relocated from Cleveland, going 3-0 SU and ATS in New England dating back to 2000.
