TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) – That breakout season so many have predicted for Beanie Wells might be on hold for a week.
The Arizona Cardinals’ second-year running back sat out practice again on Thursday with a sore right knee. He says the knee is “a lot better” but it would be the coach’s decision on whether he would play in the Cardinals’ season opener Sunday in St. Louis.
Wells has not practiced all week after bruising the knee in last Thursday’s final preseason game against Washington. Coach Ken Whisenhunt says that he wants to be cautious because he doesn’t want this to be a lingering problem that comes back to bother the big running back late in the season.
Even if he was healthy, Wells still would be behind starter Tim Hightower on the depth chart.
