Cardinals Team Report (Yahoo! Sports) -
Running back Beanie Wells missed a third consecutive day of practice on Thursday, casting additional doubt on the chances of him playing at St. Louis on Sunday.
Wells suffered a bruised knee in the final preseason game, and coach Ken Whisenhunt wants to be conservative in deciding when it's safe for Wells to play.
"What concerns me is I don't want this to be something in Week 12, or Week 13 or Week 14 that you're having issues with," Whisenhunt said.
Whisenhunt thinks the Cardinals are deep enough at running back to survive without Wells, who led the team in rushing last year as a rookie despite not starting.
Tim Hightower, the starter, is healthy, and backup LaRod Stephens-Howling is assuming a bigger role in the offense this year.
