I’ve had a full hour to consider the implications of the injury to Wells. Here is my take: The only things I consider as facts at this point is that his left ankle was rolled on during practice and he rode a cart off the field to be treated. Without knowing more, and we probably won’t for a while, there is no way to predict how much he will miss, he could be back tomorrow or out forever. I’ll go with the, by far, most likely possibility and assume he misses some time during the next week of practice.
Does this hurt his chance of starting week 1? Yes, but it’s not like our running game was our strength last year. Meanwhile, Hightower is stronger, wiser and more prepared to get the job done. Jason Wright is also a very smart, hardworking pro looking to get a job done. Our 7th rd pick, SLH, may get more of an opportunity to prove he is a miracle.
I can not predict the outcome of this situation. Therefore I will not panic or jump to conclusions. I also just read information which makes it more likely the injury is minor. Go Cards! That is all that matters.
