Beanie Wells injury update: Cardinals RB on pace for Week 12 return

Beanie Wells is on track for a return from the Cardinals’ injured reserve list.

David Butler II-US PRESSWIRE

Arizona Cardinals running back Beanie Wells, who has been out since suffering a turf toe injury in Week 3, is on track to return in Week 12, according to reports.

Adam Schefter reported early Sunday via his Twitter account that the fourth-year back was on track to return Nov. 25 against the St. Louis Rams.

Wells suffered the "severe" turf toe injury against the Philadelphia Eagles and was placed on injured reserve, meaning he would miss at least seven games, meaning the earliest he could return was the Week 12 NFC West showdown with the Rams.

Before being placed on injured reserve, Wells had collected 76 yards on 29 carries in three games played. Against the Eagles, Wells had rushed eight times for 18 yards before suffering the injury. He is also expected to return to Cardinals practice this week, which would keep him on track for a return against the Rams.
