The tread mark track at the 11 o'clock position reveals they may have gone a little too close to the wreckage. It gives the appearance that at least one side became slightly elevated into the air.
There is a small amount of dirt in a pile at the base of the debris as if the wreckages were pushed further into the ground. I wonder if this is from a possible collision with the rover or if was always present? I don't see anything wrong with the wheel. I hope they re-evaluate the risk vs. reward at the site. There are a number of sharp elevated angles which do not resemble type of rock. Dragging a wheel is one thing but dragging a piece of debris around would be a terrible way for this rover to go out.
