Rams coach Jeff Fisher said at the Combine that C Scott Wells is doing "fine" in his recovery from right knee surgery.

Wells had surgery on the same knee in June of 2012 and January of 2013, which is concerning for a 32-year-old football player. Fisher expects Wells to be ready for training camp in late July. St. Louis badly needs a healthy Wells.

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.

Rams head coach Jeff Fisher says the team will activate C Scott Wells (foot) from injured reserve designated for return this week.

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

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, but in the run and passing game.

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.

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.
