Any word on Beanie's injury? I read sprained knee and they do not know if it is a short or long-term injury. Pretty wide open there.

 

[iNeedCoffee]

You should easily get a status update between now and Wednesday. He watched the game and he ran decently before he left. Sprained knees aren't much a concern though. Ankle injuries, especially, high ankle injuries are much more serious.

How about when it is your surgically repaired knee? He actually walked to the locker room himself, so at least he wasn't helped off the field or sideline.

I'm also anxiously awaiting news on Beanie's knee injury.

Not to stoke the fire (I'm a wells owner and hope for the best) but guys walk to the locker room with torn ACLs and MCLs all the time. Doubtful that it's that bad, I'm just pointing out that walking to the locker room shouldn't be taken as an outright good sign.

I don't see why not. If I have an injured player I'd rather they walk to the lockerroom and not limp/get helped there.

@JasonLaCanfora--Arizona RB Beanie Wells likely to miss 1-2 weeks with a bone bruise.

If only AZ had thought to draft another RB....

Ok. Could be worse. I just need him for the stretch run.

Would be awesome if he played vs. STL week after next. Realistically, no loss not having him next week vs. BAL.

Agreed - this may not be that bad news. Can't imagine starting him against Baltimore next week anyway, especially for a guy that doesn't have much (if at all) involvement in the passing game when the team is behind.Hopefully he can make it back versus the Rams the following week.

Yes

Here's a list of the top 30 predraft RBs. By my count, 16 have missed significant game time (as in a full game was missed due to injury). So, that means that more than half of the expected "top" players at the position have been hurt, and this doesn't even take into account how productive players have been when healthy. When healthy, Beanie has been producing like a top 10 RB. 1 RB Adrian Peterson, MIN

2 RB Ray Rice, BAL

3 RB Chris Johnson, TEN

4 RB Jamaal Charles, KC Torn ACL - Out for season

5 RB Arian Foster, HOU Pulled Hamstring - Missed 2.5 games

6 RB Rashard Mendenhall, PIT Hamstring - Missed 1 game

7 RB LeSean McCoy, PHI

8 RB Maurice Jones-Drew, JAX

9 RB Darren McFadden, OAK Foot sprain - Essentially missed 1 game

10 RB Frank Gore, SF Sprained ankle - limited in 2 games

11 RB Michael Turner, ATL

12 RB Steven Jackson, STL Hamstring - Missed essentially 2 games and was limited in 3rd

13 RB Matt Forte, CHI 10

14 RB Peyton Hillis, CLE 16 Strep Throat & Hamstring - missed at least 3 games

15 RB Mark Ingram, NO 12 Bruised heel in week 6 - day to day

16 RB DeAngelo Williams, CAR

17 RB LeGarrette Blount, TB Knee - at least 3 games

18 RB Ahmad Bradshaw, NYG

19 RB Shonn Greene, NYJ

20 RB Jahvid Best, DET Concussion - at least 1 game

21 RB Felix Jones, DAL HAS, shoulder - 1 game missed so far, probably 4 games will be missed

22 RB Ryan Mathews, SD

23 RB Knowshon Moreno, DEN Missed 2 games, forget the injury

24 RB Joseph Addai, IND Hamstring - missed ~2 games

25 RB Fred Jackson, BUF 27

26 RB Chris Wells, ARI 49 Hamstring & Knee - missed 1.5 games so far, will miss 1-2 more

27 RB Marshawn Lynch, SEA Back - 1 game

28 RB Cedric Benson, CIN

29 RB Ryan Grant, GB 2 games

30 RB Jonathan Stewart, CAR

Other injuries to significant players, off the top of my head: McGahee, Daniel Thomas, Earnest Graham, Brandon Jacobs, Hightower, Woodhead, Tolbert, and season enders to Ryan Williams & Mikel LeShoure

please be 1 week

 

[PahtyTom]

Problem with Beanie is that he has never shown that he can play at a high level when he is not 100%. Last year he was healthy enough to play, but was not effective with his knee issue because he was not 100%. Some guys can play at a high level through stuff, and some guys cannot. So yes, he will probably be back in a few weeks but he is not going to be 100% for a while, maybe not even the rest of this season. The question is can he perform at a high level when not 100% this time around.

Coach Ken Whisehunt also said Wells doesn't have a bone bruise, both men disputing NFL Network's report. The details of the injury are still unclear, and the Cardinals have declined to confirm or refute the 1-2 week return timetable. "

Is a "badly swollen" knee....something that would typically heal faster or slower than 1-2 weeks? Seems like "meh" to me.

Yes it was "ingnorant" of me to base it on an entire season's worth of work last year in the NFL.

The latest....

Arizona Cardinals RB Beanie Wells (knee) knows he won't need to undergo surgery on his right knee injury, but the team still does not know exactly what part of his knee is injured. Wells' knee kept 'locking up' during the team's Week 7 game. It is unclear if the injury is related to an allergic reaction that he had to an injection. 'Some of the locking symptoms people talk about could mean something inside the knee is loose or misplaced: a meniscus tear or a loose piece of cartilage or bone, or an injury to the joint cartilage, if it's a big enough piece. That's some of the most common things if there is 'true' locking,' Dr. Orr Limpisvasti said.

http://www.azcentral.com/sports/cardinals/articles/2011/10/25/20111025arizona-cardinals-beanie-wells-knee-injury-what-wrong.html

I have had locking sensations in my knee since June 2011 thanks to someone collapsing my knee during a flag football game. I was on crutches for a few days following the incident and an MRI showed no tear but severe bruising. My point of referencing the locking is that this could happen with a bone bruise and it can linger. Taking a step and feeling a pop in my knee is an odd feeling. Im sure a professional has stronger legs/ knees etc than me so hopefully he recovers quickly.

Not if it's really swollen.

i dont see how they can disqualify surgery if there may be a piece of cartilage floating around.

Didn't he miss a game last year because of an allergic reaction to an injection? That training staff needs to get its stuff together if that's what has happened.

How did he drop to the #51 RB going forward?

I tried to, but hard to sell when there's no one buying. I also get the feeling we won't be seeing him for awhile. Sadly, I don't think any of the other AZ RBs are startable on anything approaching a regular basis.

The uncertainty of the injury is worrisome. After losing Charles and losing Steven Jackson for a few weeks, I'm in bad shape. Cool story, bro.

 

[yrforyg]

Is wells really droppable?

 

[finito]

Is wells really droppable?

Not yet. Doesn't look good but hopefully as the swelling goes down we'll get more substantial info.

 

[packersfan]

Is wells really droppable?

I think you'd have to be in a real small league to drop a RB who has been Top 10 this season when healthy. We need to find out more about the injury but if the initial report is accurate he may be back next week against the Rams.

Beanie Wells Thinks He Will Play Against Ravens On SundayOct 25 8:30p by Nikil SelvamArizona Cardinals running back Beanie Wells injured his knee on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers and left the game with only 42 receiving yards on 12 carries. The extent of Wells' injury is not known with any certainty at this point, but Wells himself thinks that he will play against the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday.According to John Boes of Arizona Sports, Wells had this to say about his injury on Tuesday: "It's just a matter of controlling the swelling. It's just a day by day thing. Hopefully I'm out there on Sunday and I personally think I will be."Wells' optimism is positive news for Cardinals fans and fantasy football owners alike, but Wells has said in similar situations in the past that he would play despite injuries and has instead been forced to sit on Sundays.The Cardinals will proceed cautiously with Wells since the team is already thin at running back and doesn't want to jeopardize their featured runner. Alfonso Smith and LaRod Stephens-Howling both saw action on Sunday against the Steelers after Wells went out, but the Cardinals would like to use the duo on a limited, as-needed basis only.More news will trickle in about Wells as the week goes on. The amount of practice that Wells manages on Wednesday and his status on the team's injury report could go a long way in determining his availability for this weekend.

Agreed - Beanie should be thinking of all his fantasy owners this week. You're going to be virtually useless this week against a PO'd Ravens team that just got embarrassed by the Jags. Rest up for the following week.

Wells rested occasionally and being closer to 100% is better for both the Cards and FF players, then Wells banged up playing every week (last year).

God I hope not. AZ should sit Wells for one game and have him ready to shred STL.

It was going to be hard to play him against Baltimore even when he is healthy...so I agree, sit one week and have him ready for Stlouis. That would be the best scenario right now IMO. Kolb is going to get killed against Baltimore the way he has been running around.

Beanie Wells Thinks He Will Play Against Ravens On Sunday

Arizona Cardinals running back Beanie Wells injured his knee on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers and left the game with only 42 receiving yards on 12 carries. The extent of Wells' injury is not known with any certainty at this point, but Wells himself thinks that he will play against the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday.

MJD was excellent vs BALT defense (even better if he didn't fumble at goal line) and Foster had about 100 combined yards the prior week.
