We told you earlier that Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora traveled to Arizona, where they both look likely to suit up against the Cardinals. They will try to slow down Beanie Wells.

Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said Saturday on SiriusXM’s NFL Radio that Wells would play Sunday barring “something unforeseen” happening before the game.

“Now, does that mean he’s going to be able to have 30 carries? We’ll see. That’s what you don’t know,” Whisenhunt said.

The Cardinals offense just didn’t look the same without Wells in Week Three. Kevin Kolb struggled, and the depth at running back is very thin with rookie Ryan Williams out for the year.
