Chris Bell caught 4-of-7 targets for 67 yards in the Dolphins’ Week 3 loss to the Chiefs. 2026-09-27 18:00:02 With Caleb Douglas sidelined with an ankle issue, talented third-rounder Bell finally broke out after totaling just one catch for 25 yards through the Dolphins’ first two contests. The No. 94 overall pick looked big and explosive with the ball in his hands, and could have had a much bigger day had Malik Willis been able to find him on what might have been a pair of long touchdowns. Bell’s box scores figure to remain inconsistent going forward — Willis is a dual-threat quarterback with a bevy of young, unproven wideouts — but he is certainly worth taking a flier on if currently un-rostered in your 12- team league. Bell’s pre-draft profile as a size/speed menace who only fell because of his torn ACL looked 100 percent accurate against the Chiefs. |

Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 3 against the Chiefs. 2026-09-25 20:00:02 Bell upgraded to full participation on Friday after two limited sessions. The rookie wide receiver has been bothered by fluid and soreness in his surgically repaired knee since Week 1, so the Dolphins have limited his snaps in-game. With fellow rookie WR Caleb Douglas (ankle) sidelined for Week 3, the coaching staff could draw up a couple of extra plays with Bell in mind, though he can only be viewed as a WR4. |

Dolphins HC Jeff Hafley said he expects WR Chris Bell (knee) to play in Week 3 against the Chiefs. 2026-09-25 13:00:02 Bell said Thursday that he expects to play, but Hafley added to that expectation when speaking with the media Friday. The rookie third-rounder has drawn just three targets this season while running 31 routes, but he could see an uptick in targets with Caleb Douglas (ankle) officially ruled out. Bell will be hard to trust as anything more than a WR4 in an offense that currently ranks 30th in total pass attempts and 24th in passing yards. |

Dolphins WR Chris Bell said he will play in Week 3 against the Chiefs despite being limited in practice by fluid and soreness in his knee. 2026-09-24 17:00:02 Bell said the fluid and soreness have been bothering him since Week 1, but he has been pushing through it. The team is now limiting his practice reps so he can spend extra time working with the training staff. As far as how it impacts him, Bell said he has to spend more time warming up than he has in the past to avoid stiffness. Bell tore his ACL in November 2025. He is not yet running a full complement of routes and will likely remain on a snap count, at least in the short term. |

Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) was seen working off to the side on Thursday. 2026-09-24 14:00:03 According to the Sun Sentinel’s David Furones, Bell mostly worked on the side and went inside before the portion of practice open to the media ended. Bell could end up being listed as a limited participant today, but he is clearly barely participating. It would not be surprising to see a DNP next to his name later today. He was limited yesterday. Bell underwent ACL reconstruction late last year. Hopefully, they are only managing soreness. |
