Chris Bell News, Rumors, Updates - Louisville Cardinals

Dealing with torn ACL Bell tore his ACL in Louisville's loss to SMU on Nov. 22, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Impact Bell missed Louisville's final regular season game against Kentucky, and now we know why: the wideout tore his ACL against the Mustangs. This is a tough blow for the big-time NFL Draft prospect, who is reportedly set for surgery in Dallas later this week. Bell had first-round potential in the 2026 NFL Draft, but is likely to see his stock suffer given his late-season injury. The receiver caught 72 passes for 917 yards and six scores this fall.

Out for Week 14 Bell (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Kentucky, Jody Demling of 247Sports reports.

Impact The senior Bell will no longer log more regular-season action, as he has been ruled out for the NCAA's last week before their postseason schedule begins in December. During the 2025 regular season, he logged 72 receptions (on 110 targets) for 917 yards and six touchdowns, all his career highs. Louisville's team is bowl-eligible, so the Cardinals will hope Bell can be available for their bowl matchup, whenever it is scheduled.

Solid output in rough loss Bell totaled five receptions (on nine targets) for 79 yards during Friday's 20-19 defeat to Clemson.

Impact Bell bounced back from his 49-yard showing the week prior, but while he certainly wasn't bottled up, he didn't make a big difference through the air as Louisville dropped its second straight game. With Miller Moss continuing to struggle a bit through the air, this passing game and all involved have been frustratingly quiet in recent weeks.

Suffering from poor QB play Bell notched six receptions (on 11 targets) for 49 yards during Saturday's 29-26 overtime defeat against California.

Impact It's no coincidence that the last three games, Bell has been held in check, which corresponds to Cardinals' quarterback Miller Moss' struggles beginning about three games ago. This passing offense is a little haphazard at the moment, and despite the big target volume, Bell was unable to get much of anything going. Bell is overdue for a big week, and he'll look for one against Clemson on Friday night.

NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Contained by Hokies Bell gathered in 8 of 9 targets for 56 yards during Saturday's 28-16 victory versus Virginia Tech.

Impact Bell has now been rather quiet for two straight games after a string of dynamic performances. The star wideout has still seen 19 total targets over the last two games, however, so he remains a massive factor in this passing attack -- he just hasn't been able to turn those looks into big numbers. He'll look to change that next week against California.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available vs. Virginia Tech Bell (undisclosed) is available against Virginia Tech on Saturday.

Impact The star wideout was previously deemed probable, and now Bell is officially good to go for Week 10. That's great news for the Cardinals and fantasy manages alike, as he has 48 grabs for 687 yards and six touchdowns.

OCTOBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as probable Bell is listed as probable for Saturday's game against Virginia Tech.

Impact Bell seems to be dealing with a minor issue that has landed him on Thursday's report. His status will be worth monitoring leading up to Saturday's game. The senior paces all Cardinals' pass catchers with 48 receptions for 687 yards and six touchdowns.

OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Quiets down in win Bell logged four receptions (on 10 targets) for 49 yards during Saturday's 38-24 victory against Boston College.

Impact Bell was coming off three straight 100-plus yard games, but he was held rather quiet in Louisville's win over Boston College. Still, fantasy managers shouldn't fret -- he still saw double digit targets for the fourth straight game. Bell remains a huge part of this passing game, and that should continue in Week 10 against Virginia Tech.

Torches 'Canes secondary Bell accrued nine receptions (on 12 targets) for 136 yards and two touchdowns during Friday's 24-21 win against Miami (FL).

Impact Bell is on quite a tear the last three weeks. He's totaled 31 grabs for 441 yards and five scores in those games alone. He was having a solid season before this gargantuan stretch, but he's now seeing more targets (14.0 targets per game the last three weeks) than he was at the beginning of the season. Louisville's passing offense has taken a step forward as the season has worn on, and Bell has been a direct beneficiary.

Explodes versus Cavs Bell caught 12 of 14 targets for 170 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 30-27 overtime defeat to Virginia.

Impact After a quiet start to the 2025 season, Bell -- and this Louisville passing attack as a whole, led by quarterback Miller Moss -- seems to be catching fire. After posting 135 yards receiving and a score last week, Bell topped those numbers in a narrow loss to Virginia. After seeing just 23 targets through the first three games, Bell has garnered 30 in his last two outings. Louisville is making a concerted effort to get him the ball, and it's paid dividends for Bell's production and the Cardinals' passing game overall.

Huge day in Week 5 win Bell caught 10 of 16 targets for 135 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-27 win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Bell had strung together solid performances this season, but he truly exploded in Pittsburgh on Saturday. The wideout saw a season-high 16 targets and certainly made the most of them, surpassing 100 yards for the first time in 2025. HIs quarterback, Miller Moss, just had his best day yet as a Louisville Cardinal, and with the running game sputtering against the Panthers, Bell and the passing game stepped up when needed. The receiver is the top option for this passing attack, one that appears to be trending upwards.

Find end zone in win Bell posted four receptions (on 11 targets) for 83 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 28-14 win over James Madison.

Impact Bell nearly doubled his target total from Week 1 to Week 2, and the result was a very solid performance in which he scored his first touchdown of the 2025 season. Louisville's quarterback, USC transfer Miller Moss, has been a little shaky to start the season, but Week 2 was an improvement for both Moss and Bell and the two should continue to grow their chemistry together as the season wears on.
