I think it was 16 days that he's been going through the rehab, and this is unfortunate. I know Scott's frustrated, but he had a setback at (Monday's) practice."That means the Packers will revert to the starting offensive line that closed the preseason, with Daryn Colledge at left guard, Jason Spitz in Wells' place at center and Tony Moll in Spitz's place at right guard.Wells originally sustained the injury in practice on Aug. 1, then aggravated it early in the preseason.-- Tom Pelissero, <a href="mailto:tpelisse@greenbaypressgazette.com">tpelisse@greenbaypressgazette.com</a></blockquote>
