INJURIES

Sees increased snaps in Week 3 Bell caught four of seven targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact 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.

Good to go for Week 3 Bell (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Impact 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.

Will play Sunday Bell (knee) said Thursday that he'll be ready to play Sunday against the Chiefs, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact With Bell having mostly worked on the side during the media-viewing portion of Thursday's practice, his own declaration is a positive sign for his Week 3 availability.

Not spotted at practice Bell (knee) was not spotted during the media-viewing portion of Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact 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.

Dealing with knee injury Bell was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact It's unclear if Bell's limitations to begin Week 3 prep are related to the torn ACL he suffered last December, but he'll know 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-rounder has tallied one catch (on three targets) for 25 yards.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Catchless in second pro game Bell did not catch his only target Sunday in a Week 2 loss to San Francisco.
Impact 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 he's uncertain to be able to suit up in Week 3 against Kansas City. If he ends up being sidelined, Bell could move up a notch in the WR pecking order.

SEPTEMBER 14 • Associated Press
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.
Impact It wasn't until the third quarter that Bell logged his first NFL catch, hauling in 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 league MVP Matthew Stafford and the Rams offense to just seven points Week 1.

Still working on conditioning Bell estimated Thursday that his conditioning is back to "80 to 85 percent" following last season's torn ACL, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Impact Bell underwent surgery for a clean tear of his ACL last December and isn't on the injury report for Miami's Week 1 game against the Raiders on Sunday, but the rookie wideout is still working back into game shape. While he won't be on a proverbial "pitch count" against Las Vegas, there's a chance the Dolphins use multiple receivers with some sort of rotation. Bell is listed as a starter, but he's highly unlikely to run 100 percent of the routes Sunday. He could develop into the team's No. 1 wide receiver by the end of the season.

Impact Despite not practicing with the Dolphins until Aug. 17 after completing his recovery from the ACL tear he sustained in November, Bell assuaged any concerns about his health and conditioning over the final two weeks of training camp and during his lone appearance in the preseason. The Dolphins are seemingly preparing for the rookie third-round pick to handle a vital role in the passing game right off the bat, as he's listed as one of three starting wide receivers on the team's unofficial depth chart heading into Week 1, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Though Miami is expected to be one of the league's lower-volume passing attacks, Bell won't be facing much in the way of established competition for targets. He'll be part of a new-look receiver room that includes third-year player Malik Washington and fellow rookie Caleb Douglas as starters after Miami moved on from both Tyreek Hill (knee) and Jaylen Waddle in the offseason.
SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Gets starter listing on depth chart The Dolphins list Bell as one of three starting wide receivers on their unofficial depth chart released in advance of Sunday's season opener versus the Raiders, Joe Schad of The Pa...
Impact Though team-issued depth charts don't always reflect how players will be used once the season gets underway, Bell's listing in a top-three role could be noteworthy. Miami had previously listed Jalen Tolbert along with Malik Washington and Caleb Douglas as Miami's starting receiver trio, but Bell may have shown enough during his lone preseason appearance to leapfrog Tolbert in the pecking order. After opening training camp on the non-football injury list while he recovered from the ACL tear he sustained during his final collegiate season at Louisville, Bell joined the Dolphins for practice Aug. 17 and shined in his lone preseason appearance just under two weeks later, reeling in two of five targets for 22 yards in a 17-12 loss to the Falcons. If Bell does in fact start Week 1, the Dolphins could still look to limit his snaps to some degree while he works to regain full conditioning coming off knee surgery.
