ST. LOUIS (AP) — Over and over, Scott Wells refused to make excuses for the ones that got away.
"I really don't want to give anything for a story, just a bad snap," Wells said. "It's injured, but I don't know if I'm going to have anything done."
"This is the NFL, everybody's got something," Wells said to the Associated Press Tuesday night. "You just have to find a way to push through whatever ailment you might have and continue to perform at a high level.
"He's just going to have to not allow that to happen, especially up there this week."
"And if something bad happens, you own up to it."
Barnes started the last four games last season in place of Wells. He's played in all but one game this season, but almost exclusively on special teams.
