Miami Dolphins rookie receiver Chris Bell was activated off of the team's non-football injury list nine months removed from an ACL tear... He practiced with the team in a red, non-contact jersey on Monday... 'He's back at practice, so there's always hope... There's still a lot of steps to go... I don't see him practicing against the Giants or playing against the Giants [this weekend], but we'll go day-to-day and see how he progresses.'

Chris Bell activated from injury list; cautious path to regular season availability with gradual practice progression.

Rookie receiver activated off non-football injury list nine months after ACL tear at Louisville; practicing in red non-contact jersey with gradual progression plan. Head coach Jeff Hafley expressed cautious optimism about regular season availability, noting Bell will progress through individual drills before team activities; unlikely to play against Giants this weekend but timeline remains day-to-day. Hafley praised Bell's physical tools—size, speed, explosiveness, catch-and-run ability, and violent play style from college tape—but emphasized need for football shape and timing with quarterbacks before full participation.
