Browns' David Bell: Season-high snap count
Bell secured both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Rams in Week 13.
Bell played a season-high 28 snaps on offense, as the Browns lost Amari Cooper to a concussion during the second quarter. Bell's playing time and usage is dependent on Cooper's health heading into Week 14 at home against Jacksonville. Bell, a second-year wideout, has just six catches (11 targets) for 45 yards over 10 games.

Browns' David Bell: Available Sunday
Bell (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Chris Easterling of The Akron Beacon Journal reports.
The second-year wide receiver out of Purdue went from limited practice sessions both Wednesday and Thursday to a full go Friday, and it now seems as if he's been able to move past his knee issue. Bell has not been heavily involved in the Browns' offense thus far, catching four of his seven targets on the year for 33 yards.

Browns' David Bell: Gets back on field
Bell (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Bell hasn't practiced since initially suffering the injury and has missed each of the Browns' last two games. His return to the field is a step in the right direction as he works to get back in action Sunday against the Steelers. However, he is currently considered questionable for the contest.

Bell (knee) is out for Sunday's game at the Ravens, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Browns' David Bell: Misses another practice
Bell (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The second-year wideout recorded back-to-back DNPs during Wednesday's and Thursday's practices, and it seems increasingly likely that he'll miss his second consecutive game this Sunday. Bell has made seven appearances for the Browns this season, logging 33 yards on four receptions.

Browns' David Bell: Won't play Sunday
Bell (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.
The second-year receiver out of Purdue recorded consecutive DNPs during practice Wednesday and Thursday, so it's not a surprise that he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest. With Bell missing time, rookie wideout Cedric Tillman could see an uptick in work in Cleveland's offense.

Browns' David Bell: Misses practice Wednesday
Bell (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Bell has played 19 snaps -- six on offense and 13 on special teams -- over the past two games after getting extended action in Week 6 against the 49ers. If he's unable to improve over the course of the week, Cedric Tillman could be in line for more opportunities at wide receiver behind Amari Cooper, Elijah Moore and Marquise Goodwin.

Browns' David Bell: Three targets in win
Bell caught one of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over San Francisco.
There was less competition for snaps at wideout as Cedric Tillman (hip) was unavailable, but it didn't result in increased usage for Bell. He played 10 snaps, which is exactly his average through five games. If there's a positive take-away it's that Bell was targeted for the first time since Week 2, and his lone catch converted a fourth-and-4 during a fourth-quarter drive that led to one of four Dustin Hopkins field goals.

Browns' David Bell: No catches in Week 3
Bell played nine snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 27-3 win over Tennessee.
Quarterback Deshaun Watson focused his attention on Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore in what was his best game since joining the Browns. Any looks left over for other wideouts went to Donovan Peoples-Jones, as Marquise Goodwin and Cedric Tillman joined Bell among the untargeted. Barring injury ahead of him on the depth chart, Bell's role doesn't seem likely to increase.

Browns' David Bell: More activity Week 2
Bell caught all three targets for 27 yards in Monday's 26-22 loss to Pittsburgh in Week 2.
Bell was on the field for 11 offensive snaps, only one more than last week, but was given more looks from quarterback Deshaun Watson. The quarterback made it point to get most of his receivers involved early with first-quarter targets.

Browns' David Bell: Targeted once in opener
Bell did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 24-3 win over Cincinnati in Week 1.
Bell was on the field for 10 plays, the same number as rookie Cedric Tillman and veteran Marquise Goodwin. The trio will make up the second tier behind Amari Cooper, Elijah Moore and Donovan Peoples-Jones. Cleveland leaned on its ground game during a rainy afternoon in Ohio, so there were limited targets for depth receivers.

Browns' David Bell: Limited to one grab Thursday
Bell secured one of two targets for seven yards in the Browns' 18-18 tie with the Eagles on Thursday night.
Bell recorded his one catch on Cleveland's opening drive, and his production represented a notable downturn from the 3-33-1 line he generated versus the Commanders during the Browns' second preseason game this past Saturday. The 2022 third-round pick was outperformed Thursday by multiple competitors for a reserve receiver role, so the team's road preseason finale against the Chiefs on Saturday, Aug. 26 is likely to be critical for Bell's fortunes.

Browns' David Bell: Hauls in TD against Commanders
Bell caught three of four targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason loss to the Commanders.
After a disappointing rookie season, Bell saw the Browns add Elijah Moore via trade in the offseason before the team selected Cedric Tillman in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, so the pressure is on the Purdue product to step up. Bell did just that Friday, hauling in a seven-yard TD strike from Dorian Thompson-Robinson near the end of the third quarter. While a camp battle with Tillman for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart isn't what Bell envisioned when he was taken in the third round in 2022, Moore did leave Friday's contest early with a rib injury. If the issue lingers into the regular season, both depth wideouts could take on bigger roles in Week 1.
