Yes, it can still be bad, or at least going bad. What you want to do is rotate the tire by hand, but to do this you need to first jack that tire up in the air once again. Engage the transmission in neutral and rotate the tire, but make sure the Emergency brake is engaged to lock the rear tires into place; in addition to the E-brake, a couple of tire wedges might be worth having for the rear tires to prevent rolling.

It's funny because I just did this the other day, and the problem with the front tires is that the brake calipers tend to provide some surface friction so you really have to put some initial brute force to get the wheel spinning. If you can hear any sounds other than the brake pads slightly touching the rotors, then it's a bad bearing. As a sanity check, do this to the rear wheels also (with the rear wheels, move the transmission from neutral to Park, and disengage the emergency brake); the rear wheels should move more freely since these utilize drum brakes (hence, a good bearing on the rear wheels should mean a silence during wheel rotation).

Good Luck!
