Wells may play in week 8

Beanie Wells' knee is stable, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt reported, and the running back won't require surgery.

There is no timetable on Wells' return. Even if he does play in week 8, he'll be less than 100 percent and facing Baltimore's otherworldly run defense, so fantasy owners will likely want to look elsewhere.

If Wells can't play Sunday, Alfonso Smith, LaRod Stephens-Howling, and Chester Taylor would all be in line for increased carries.
