The return of Mays, who weighs 230 pounds, might help alleviate some of those issues.
Utah State did not play last week, perhaps speeding his recovery.
"A bye week helps everybody," Wells said Monday. "I'm not a doctor, but everybody is more healthy … [and] the bye always helps that."
Asked specifically about Mays, Wells replied, "Obviously, he's one of our better players. He was certainly our best running back or he wouldn't have come out of spring ball and training camp as our starter. We'll see if we get him back this week."
In a season-opening 45-6 win over Weber State, Mays ran for 208 yards on 18 carries.
