What happened: The Dolphins placed rookie receiver Chris Bell on the active/non-football injury list. Miami selected Bell in the fourth round, No. 94 overall, out of Louisville in April and signed him as part of its 2026 draft class in June.

Why it matters: The designation removes Bell from Miami's active practice mix as the Dolphins continue reshaping their receiver room, having already fielded trade pitches for an offensive weapon this offseason. Losing reps now works against a rookie trying to carve out a role behind Miami's established targets.

What to watch: Watch for an update on Bell's practice eligibility and whether Miami adds a corresponding roster move.
