Cardinals RB Wells starts camp on PUP

Cardinals running back Beanie Wells will begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list.

Wells had knee surgery and missed offseason workouts. He failed his physical but coach Ken Whisenhunt said he should be ready to return soon.

Starting tight end Jeff King is nearly recovered from a partially torn quadriceps tendon but also began training camp on PUP.

Wells is competing for the starting job he owned last season against 2011 second-round pick Ryan Williams. Williams has recovered from a torn ACL that caused him to miss his entire rookie season.
