  • 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.

  • 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.
