Beanie Has A Bad Bone?

In a rapid-fire list of tidbits contained in his latest Monday Morning Quarterback column, Peter King of SI.com mentions that some teams are “scared off” by a “sesmoid bone” problem in one of running back Beanie Wells’ feet. Also known as “sesamoid” bones, the term generally refers to a bone over which a tendon passes. In the foot, the sesmoid/sesamoid bones are in the forefoot, at the spot where weight is placed early in the process of stepping off. If Wells truly has a problem with the area in his foot where he begins the process of exploding forward, it could be a major impediment to his ability to be as successful as he possibly can be at the NFL level. Then again, it’s five days before the draft, and so it’s hard to put much stock in anything that anyone is saying about any of the prospects.
