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.

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Limited Wednesday
Bell (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Notably, Caleb Douglas (ankle) was absent from Wednesday's practice, which could allow Bell to play an increased role again in Week 4 after he caught four of seven targets for 67 yards in last Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Bell has been seeing his practice reps managed all summer after undergoing ACL surgery late last season.

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Sees increased snaps in Week 3
Bell caught four of seven targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs.
With Caleb Douglas (ankle) inactive and De'Von Achane suffering a torn ACL in the first half against Kanas City, Bell was one of the biggest beneficiaries from both a playing time and opportunity perspective. His seven targets were tied for second on the team with Greg Dulcich behind Malik Washington's 10. If Douglas needs to miss more time, Bell could again see elevated snaps Sunday against Minnesota.

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Good to go for Week 3
Bell (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
With fellow rookie wideout Caleb Douglas (ankle) ruled out, Bell took on a larger role in Miami's passing game despite recently dealing with fluid buildup and soreness in his surgically repaired right knee. Doctors told him it isn't a major concern, and Bell then told reporters Thursday that he plans to play Week 3.

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Intends to play Sunday
Bell (knee) said Thursday that he'll be ready to play Sunday against the Chiefs, C. C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Bell said that he's experiencing some fluid buildup and soreness in his surgically repaired left knee, though doctors told him that it was nothing worrisome. The Dolphins have still been managing the rookie receiver carefully this week nonetheless, as he was a limited participant in Wednesday's session and was spotted working off to the side during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Though Bell is tracking to suit up Sunday, he may need to practice fully Friday to avoid taking an injury designation into the weekend.

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Working on side Thursday
Bell (knee) "mostly worked on the side" during the media-viewing portion of Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
After being listed as a limited participant Wednesday, Bell appears to have taken a step back Thursday, assuming he indeed goes down as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report. Fellow rookie third-round pick Caleb Douglas (ankle) also wasn't spotted Thursday, leaving Miami banged up at wide receiver behind de facto top option Malik Washington ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs.

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Catchless in second pro game
Bell failed to catch his only target Sunday in a Week 2 loss to San Francisco.
Bell was unable to make an impact, but that was in line with most of Miami's passing game, as QB Malik Willis threw for only 120 yards outside of a 77-yard touchdown to Ryan Miller during garbage time. Bell logged 24 of the Dolphins' 59 offensive snaps, ranking a distant third among team's wideouts behind Malik Washington (55) and Caleb Douglas (51). Douglas suffered an ankle injury late in the contest, however, and his availability is for Week 3 against Kansas City is therefore in question. If he ends up being sidelined, Bell could move up a notch in the WR pecking order.

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Dealing with knee injury
Bell was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Per C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald, Bell was spotted working out off to the side during the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice. The Dolphins haven't revealed whether Bell's limitations to begin Week 3 prep are related to the torn ACL he suffered last December, but he'll now have two more practices to prove his health this week ahead of Sunday's contest against the Chiefs. Through two games to begin his career, the rookie third-round pick has tallied one catch (on three targets) for 25 yards.

Dolphins' Chris Bell: Hauls in 25-yard catch in NFL debut
Bell caught one pass (on two targets) for 25 yards during the Dolphins' 27-13 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.
It wasn't until the third quarter that Bell logged his first NFL catch, hauling in a 25-yard pass from Malik Willis to keep the drive going and ending with a 14-yard touchdown run by the latter two plays later. The rookie wideout saw the field for 29 of the Dolphins' 56 offensive snaps (51.2 percent), which was third most among Miami's wide receivers behind Malik Washington (55) and fellow rookie Caleb Douglas (51). It was encouraging to see Bell on the field, seeing as he tore his ACL last December, and his snap count should steadily increase as his conditioning improves. Bell and the Dolphins face a tough Week 2 matchup Sept. 20 against a 49ers defense that limited last year's MVP Matthew Stafford and the Rams offense to just seven points Week 1.
