GRANT WELLS NEWS

Taking second-team reps Wells (ankle) is warming up with the second team offense ahead of Saturday's game at Louisville, Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines reports.

Impact Wells, who has not played since Week 2, is on the field warming up Saturday, a great sign that he may finally be recovered from his injury. However, if he is healthy, it does not look like he will start as he is warming up with the second team offense. It will likely be Kyron Drones once again for the Hokies Saturday.

Impact Head coach Brent Pry said Wells is close to 75 percent healthy, and that he's currently mobile enough to protect himself, but isn't quite ready to make plays with his feet. Wells has missed the last five games with his ankle injury, but it finally appears he is on the right trajectory to play again soon. The bye week this week will give him extra time to get healthy ahead of the Oct. 26 clash versus Syracuse.
