(AP) -- FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - Bill Belichick says star receiver Wes Welker was hurt on a field in Houston that was in terrible condition.
Welker, who led the NFL with 123 receptions, suffered a serious left knee injury in a 34-27 loss to the Texans on Sunday on what Belichick called "one of the worst fields I've seen."
He did not elaborate Tuesday on remarks he made a day earlier during his weekly appearance on WEEI radio. Belichick said the field was inconsistent - spongy in parts and hard in others - causing players to get a different feel with each step.
Belichick said a lot of non-contact injuries like Welker's occur on such surfaces.
Asked several times about the field on Tuesday, Belichick said he is focusing on Sunday's home playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens.
