Cardinals | B. Wells still not starting RB
Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:56:51 -0700 Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports Arizona Cardinals RB Beanie Wells will not be the team's starting running back Week 8. Head coach Ken Whisenhunt said, "I just don't think Beanie is ready yet." RB Tim Hightower will remain the starter.

Wells now has four fumbles in just 49 attempts, which gives Whisenhunt pause.
