Chris Bell, would soon join his draft-mate on the practice fields in Miami Gardens... was activated off of the club's active/non-football injury list this morning... Bell tore his ACL in November of last year — causing the player who was once considered a late-first round prospect to drop all the way to the 94th overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft... Bell practiced in a red non-contact jersey, so it remains to be seen when he will be cleared in full, but being able to get valuable reps with his quarterback, Malik Willis, is a positive step forward for the rookie.
