Wes Welker said he would like his role to expand heading into Week 3.

"Obviously I want to be out there as much as possible," said Welker. "However I can contribute to help us win, that's my job."

Welker has averaged just 54.5 yards per game this season.

"I think we all just go out there and do our job to the best of our ability, and whenever you're called upon, you go out there and do that," he said. "And our job is to pick up the slack with Aaron being out."
