Dolphins' Chris Bell: Deemed doubtful
Bell (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Bell was a limited practice participant Wednesday before sitting out Thursday and Friday. The injury is to surgically repaired knee, but coach Jeff Hafley was quick to specify that the current issue isn't related to the ACL repair from last year. It sounds like Bell could be back within a week or two. For now, No. 4 receiver Kevin Coleman figures to get more playing time.

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Unlikely to play
Bell (knee) is unlikely to play in Sunday's game against the Colts, but his injury isn't considered long-term and isn't related to the ACL repair surgery he had last December, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Bell reportedly got hit in his surgically repaired knee, and coach Jeff Hafley said the current injury has "nothing to do with [Bell]'s surgery." Hafley even left the door open for Bell to play Sunday, though the coach's other comments suggests it's highly unlikely. An absence would leave more playing time for fellow rookie Kevin Coleman, who has been been Miami's No. 4 receiver for most of the season.

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Not seen at practice Thursday
Bell (knee) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Bell was listed as limited Wednesday, so his apparent downgrade in participation a day later puts the focus on what the wideout is able to do Friday as it relates to his status for Sunday's game against the Colts. Through eight contests overall, Bell has 12 catches for 148 yards and no TDs on 27 targets, and he's coming off a zero-catch effort in the Dolphins' Week 9 loss to the Lions, during which the 2026 third-rounder was on the field for 63 percent of his team's snaps on offense.

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Limited on injury report
Bell (knee) is listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
This is likely just maintenance for Bell's surgically repaired knee. His role as the No. 3 wide receiver in Miami hasn't yielded much, with Bell drawing targets on just 16.7 percent of routes and catching only 44.4 percent of his targets. Things can't get much worse, at least from a statistical standpoint, with QB Kyle McCord replacing Malik Willis (abdomen) for at least the next four weeks.

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Zero catches in Week 9
Bell failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Lions.
The Dolphins completed just 14 passes against Detroit, and Bell had his fourth zero-catch game of the season. With Caleb Douglas and Malik Washington healthy, Bell is the WR3 in an offense that can barely even support one pass catcher in the box score most weeks. Bell has 12 grabs for 148 yards and no touchdowns on 27 targets through eight games.

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Four targets in first win
Bell caught three of his four targets for 25 yards in the Dolphins' 28-25 win over the Jets on Sunday.
The third-round rookie played 31 offensive snaps and five special-teams snaps in the contest. Bell was in on 48 percent of the Dolphins' offensive plays and saw the second-most targets behind tight end Greg Dulcich (five).

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Cleared to play against Cincinnati
Bell (knee) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Bell has played through a knee issue over the Dolphins' last couple of games, and the rookie third-rounder will do so again Sunday after logging a full practice session Friday. He was unable to haul in any of his three targets during Miami's Week 4 loss to Minnesota, but he could see more targets from Malik Willis on Sunday due to the absence of fellow rookie Caleb Douglas (ankle).

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Limited Wednesday
Bell (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Bell will continue to be limited in practices until the Dolphins are willing to fully unleash him off last season's torn ACL. While he's had his reps managed during the week, Bell has been seeing extensive snaps on Sundays, especially since Caleb Douglas has been out with an ankle injury. Bell has reeled in just five of 14 targets this season for 92 yards.

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Clear for Sunday
Bell (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
With Caleb Douglas (ankle) already ruled out for Miami, Bell appears set to remain a big part of the passing offense after he set season highs in snaps, routes and targets last Sunday against Kansas City. In Miami's offense that struggles to score points coupled with Minnesota's strong defense, Bell is difficult to trust for fantasy lineups.

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Reps capped again
Bell (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
The Dolphins kept Bell's reps in check for the second day in a row, but the team hasn't indicated that he's dealing with a setback with his surgically repaired right knee. As long as he can practice in some fashion Friday, Bell should be in good position to suit up Sunday against the Vikings. Through his first three NFL games, the rookie third-round pick out of Louisville has put together a 5-92-0 receiving line on 11 targets.
