APCardinals running back Beanie Wells has been placed on injured reserve with a toe injury, but the team is still optimistic he can return this season.
The Cardinals’ roster move took advantage of the new rule that allows a player on injured reserve to be designated for return. That means that if Wells is healthy enough, he could be back on the field in eight weeks when the Cardinals play the Rams on November 25.
Wells had a big season last year, his first as a starter, with 245 carries for 1,047 yards. But he has not been particularly effective this year, with just 76 yards on 29 carries.
The Cardinals hope that Wells will be effective and healthy in the second half of the season. And they hope they’re jockeying for a playoff spot when Wells is ready to return.

I don’t think Cards fans are too worried about this. Some good depth at RB and looking forward to seeing if William Powell can carry over his pre-season stats. I think Beanie is done in the desert. He looks like an old man at 25.
Aw. Beanie got a boo-boo.
You can tell by watching this guy he hates being in Arizona. Just trade him or release him so he can play the “disrespected” card during his three-year stint with the Jets and then he’s finally out of the league.
ha, glad I literally just picked up Ryan Williams!
Too bad. He’s a good player but he’s always injured. Hope he comes back ready to contribute.
We’re going to miss his hard running style in Arizona.
The Cards have good depth, so they should be fine. Hope he comes back healthy…he’s a decent hammer when he wants to be.
can this dude ever stay healthy
He comes from the Cadillac Williams school of toughness.
Hope Beanie can get healthy and finish out the year strong. Anxious to see William Powell get some playing time and believe he and Ryan Williams will be able to keep the running game alive. Good Luck Beanie, hope you are able to be a part of this year Cardinal’s winning team!
Beanie Wells should just get out of the league. He is a bust.
Shocking…
Even when healthy, he’s just another guy.
The hit he put on Cedric Griffin was cool.
Maybe now Whisenhunt will finally give William Powell a chance.
I wasnt even aware that he was ever injured?
How can a man as big and strong as Mr. W. be so fragile? It is literally amazing.
I really do think its time to cutt ties with wells, im sure he a nice guy and obvioulsy has talent but not consistant . and all ways injured , so at this time i think we cut ties and try and get a brusing back who can run inbetween the tackles , because cardinals have plenty of guys who can run out side . and obviously we need to address that O line ..
