What happened: The Miami Dolphins have placed wide receiver Chris Bell on the active/non-football injury list. The roster transaction was processed Tuesday ahead of training camp.

Why it matters: Selected No. 94 overall out of Louisville in April's draft, the pass-catcher is still working his way back from his late-2025 knee injury. Players on this list continue to count against the 90-man limit but can be activated to join practice at any point once cleared by team doctors.

What to watch: The organization will evaluate its receiving depth while waiting for the rookie to return to the field.
