"There continues to be optimism that running back Beanie Wells will be available for the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday when they face the New York Giants.

Wells already has said he expects to play, and Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt sounded pretty convinced of that himself Saturday. Whisenhunt told SiriusXM Radio that Wells felt good while taking more reps during practice Friday and will work out before Sunday's home game to fully determine his status.

"Barring something happening that I don't know about right now, I expect him to play," Whisenhunt said."
