Scott Wells - C - Rams

Rams C Scott Wells underwent another right knee scope earlier this month, his second since last June.

The latest scope repaired torn cartilage. Wells suffered the setback just as he was returning from foot surgery in November, so he's undergone three separate surgeries in a seven-month span. Now 32, Wells struggled mightily as a run blocker in just seven starts in 2012. The Rams hope he'll be back by OTAs.

Scott Wells - C - Rams

Rams activated C Scott Wells (foot) from injured reserve designated for return.

Wells broke his foot in Week 1 against the Lions and has been out ever since. After signing a four-year, $24 million deal in the offseason, Wells has been off the field far more than he's been on it. The pedestrian veteran Robert Turner has been starting in his place since Week 2 and has struggled with his run blocking. Wells, 32 in January, should be a major upgrade.

Scott Wells - C - Rams

Rams C Scott Wells (broken foot, I.R./designated for return) was not activated for Week 10 against the 49ers.

Wells was originally expected to return this week, but multiple team sources tell Pro Football Weekly that he won't be cleared until Week 12. The Rams will continue to start career-backup Robert Turner in his absence. Wells, currently on injured reserve, has resumed practicing on a limited basis.

Scott Wells - C - Rams

Rams C Scott Wells (broken foot, I.R./designated for return) has resumed practicing.

Wells is eligible to return on Sunday, and has said he plans on starting against the 49ers. That could depend on how he looks in practice, but the early signs are positive. The Rams have two weeks to officially activate him. Wells' return would be a massive boost for one of the league's least talented offensive lines, both in the run and passing game.

Scott Wells - C - Rams

Rams center Scott Wells (broken foot, injured reserve designated for return) has shed his walking boot and is aiming to return to the lineup in Week 10 against the 49ers.

Wells was handed a three-year, $24 million contract as a free agent in the offseason, but he has battled injuries ever since inking the deal. He missed much of training camp after knee surgery and then broke his foot in Week 1 against Detroit. St. Louis placed him on injured reserve designated for return, and Robert Turner was plugged in at center. Turner would likely shift to left guard to replace journeyman Quinn Ojinnaka upon Wells' return.

Scott Wells - C - Rams

Rams coach Jeff Fisher revealed Monday that C Scott Wells will go on injured reserve with a fractured foot.

It's a nightmare situation after St. Louis also lost LT Rodger Saffold (neck) indefinitely in the opener. Signed to a $24 million deal in the offseason, Wells was expected to spark the Rams' interior line as a plus run blocker and pass protector. The Rams will now turn to career backup Rob Turner at center. Steven Jackson managed just 53 yards on 21 carries in Week 1, and he may continue to struggle to find running lanes the rest of the way. The Rams are hopeful Wells will return after midseason on their injury-exempt list, but he's definitely going to miss the next 5-6 games.

Scott Wells - C - Rams

Rams C Scott Wells did not return to the game after injuring his foot in the first half of Sunday's loss to the Lions.

The Rams lost both Wells and LT Roger Saffold (neck), forcing Rokevious Watkins and Wayne Hunter into action. It's one of the reasons Steven Jackson managed just 53 yards on 21 carries. The severity of Wells' injury is unknown right now.

Scott Wells - C - Rams

Rams C Scott Wells was forced from Sunday's game with a foot injury, and is questionable to return.

Journeyman Robert Turner is in at center. The Rams' lone meaningful addition to a line that was the league's worst in 2011, Wells missed the majority of camp as he recovered from knee surgery. His status is a major concern.

Scott Wells - C - Rams

Rams C Scott Wells (knee surgery) participated in his first full practice Monday, and could play in Saturday's preseason game.

It's a welcome bit of news for the Rams, who are counting on Wells to help turn around a line that was the league's worst in 2011. Wells' recovery took much longer than anticipated — so a setback is a real concern — but the eight-year veteran has missed only one game since 2009. He should be snapping the ball to Sam Bradford in Week 1.

Scott Wells - C - Rams

Rams coach Jeff Fisher expects C Scott Wells (knee surgery) to participate in a preseason game at "some point."

Behind schedule in his recovery, Wells has yet to practice, so it won't be in Sunday's opener. "He's doing well inside — doing very well with the knee," Fisher said. "He is taking every walk-through rep with us, so from a football standpoint he's not behind whatsoever." It would be a major concern for the NFL's reigning worst line if Wells wasn't ready for Week 1.

Scott Wells - C - Rams

Rams C Scott Wells (knee scope) has not been medically cleared to practice in training camp.

The knee scope kept Wells out of most of spring workouts, too. Wells, a $24 million offseason addition, turned 31 in January and appears to be recovering behind schedule. It's a concern for one of the league's worst offensive lines.

Scott Wells - C - Rams

Rams C Scott Wells is missing this week's minicamp after having his knee scoped "a few weeks ago."

It's the first we've heard of any surgery for St. Louis' new center. The team announced Wells is expected to be ready for training camp. Any surgery is a concern, but Wells has no history of knee issues, and has missed only six games since 2005. There's no reason to believe he won't be ready for camp.

Scott Wells - C - Rams

Scott Wells' contract with the Rams is a four-year deal worth $24 million, with $13 million guaranteed.

With incentives it can max out to $25.5 million. Considered a ''top-ten center'' the past two years, Wells projects as an upgrade over G/C Jason Brown in St. Louis.

Scott Wells - C - Rams

Rams agreed to terms with C Scott Wells, formerly of the Packers.

In a surprising move, Jeff Fisher managed to steal Wells away from the coach's former team and the player's home town. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel suggested early in the day that Wells' preference was Tennessee, and his camp was merely using the Rams for leverage. A top-10 center in each of the two years, according to Pro Football Focus, the 31-year-old Wells is a fine start to a rebuilt offensive line.
