Wells now figures to be the Eagles' starting right guard, a position Andrews failed to hold the past two seasons, CSNPhiladelphia.com reports.

Leinart, Houshmandzadeh released as NFL teams trim to 53 (SportingNews.com)
|
Matt Leinart might get a second chance, but for the Arizona Cardinals he was a first-round bust. The team released Leinart on Saturday, marking another career setback for the 10th pick of the 2006 draft and the 2004 Heisman Trophy winner. Another team may sign Leinart as a backup quarterback -- perhaps the Seattle Seahawks, for whom his former college coach, Pete Carroll, is now the head coach. However, Leinart's inability to beat out Derek Anderson for the Cardinals' starting job raises the question whether Leinart will ever be good enough to start...
