The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... When the Cardinals released Wells last weekend, it was reportedly in part because they were not optimistic about the state of his right knee. The Steelers hosted Wells for a Friday visit, but a signing isn't likely to be forthcoming. One source tells the Post-Gazette that Wells was found to have a "bad wheel."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com suggests, while Wells missed close half of the 2012 season to a turf toe injury, it's a good bet that the knee is the "wheel" in question. While Wells is still only 24 years old, the knee has been an issue since his arrival in the league in 2009 and it's not clear how far he currently is from being fully healthy -- or if he ever will be. Meanwhile, the Steelers' backfield options are growing thin. The best back left on the market, Ahmad Bradshaw, has a bad wheel of his own following the latest round of foot surgery.
