Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker has insisted that he has no plans to retire from the NFL.
The 33-year-old missed the first two games of the 2014 season due to being suspended for breaching the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
However, on his return to action Welker struggled to find his best form as he recorded one of the least productive seasons of his 12-year career.
"Just getting ready for 2015," Welker told The Denver Post.
When asked about reports that claimed that he was ready to retire, he added: "Never ever came out of my mouth."
Welker is expected to become a free agent when his contract with the Broncos expires in March.
