  • Diminished role expected

    Bell is expected to have a diminished role with the addition of Elijah Moore.

    Analysis: Bell was Cleveland's leader with 236 snaps at slot receiver last season, per Pro Football Focus. While he was serviceable in that role, the Browns felt an upgrade was needed and traded for Moore, who was the Jets' leading slot receiver in 2022 with 255 snaps. The Browns also added Marquise Goodwin, who played 187 snaps in the slot for the Seahawks last year, which may further negatively impact Bell's playing time in 2023.

  • Shut out Week 18

    Bell did not catch either of his two targets in a 28-14 loss to Pittsburgh in Week 18.

    Analysis: Bell finished the season with just one catch on four targets over the final three weeks. He had thumb and toe injuries down the stretch, missing nearly two full games, which impacted him over the final five games. The rookie slot receiver finished the year with 24 catches, 35 targets and 214 yards. Bell had steady, if minor, production prior to the injury and, like every pass catcher on the team, will wait for Deshaun Watson to return to form the quarterback had prior to a long layoff. If the…read more

  • Returns to action

    Bell caught one of two targets for 18 yards in Saturday's 17-10 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Bell rejoined the active roster after missing one week due to a toe injury. He had 51 snaps and a 73-percent share, season highs for the rookie wideout. Cleveland's passing attack has taken a step back since Deshaun Watson returned from his suspension, so expected output for Bell and others should be seen through that filter. The Browns had fewer than 200 passing yards for the third time in four starts, with the offense averaging 170 passing yards when Watson starts.

  • Cleared for Week 16

    Bell (toe) doesn't carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Saints after being listed as a full practice participant Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Bell is thus slated to return to the mix after missing one game, but as the Browns' No. 3 wideout option behind Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones, the 2022 third-rounder brings modest fantasy upside to the table in Week 16. Over the course of 13 games, the Purdue product has hauled in 23 of his 31 targets for 196 yards.

  • Expected back Saturday

    Bell (toe) is on track to play Saturday against the Saints, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Bell, who missed the Browns' Week 15 win over the Ravens, was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report. The Browns are apparently optimistic that Bell will increase his practice activity as the week rolls along, with Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal relaying that head coach Kevin Stefanski "sounded confident" about the receiver's availability for Saturday. Bell has been a steady, if unspectacular, contributor over his first 13 NFL games, catching 23 of…read more

  • Opens week as limited participant

    Bell (toe) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: The rookie sat out the Browns' Week 15 win over the Ravens with listed toe and thumb injuries, but the former issue is the only one attached to his name as Cleveland begins preparing for Saturday's game against the Saints. Bell already looks to be in a better spot on the health front compared to last week, as he failed to practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday before sitting out against Baltimore. The Browns may still need to see Bell put in a full practice Wednesday or Thursday…read more

  • Inactive Saturday

    Bell (thumb/toe) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Bell was listed as a non-participant in practice Tuesday through Thursday before being the lone Cleveland player assigned a Week 15 injury designation (questionable). He'll sit this one out, with 2022 sixth-rounder Michael Woods and hybrid running back/receiver Demetric Felton likely next up for added snaps Saturday alongside starting WRs Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones.

  • Questionable, but likely to sit

    Bell (thumb/toe), who is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Ravens, isn't in line to play, Jordan Schultz of TheScore.com reports.

    Analysis: Confirmation on Bell's Week 15 status won't officially arrive until the Browns release their inactive list 90 minutes before Saturday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff, but his expected absence comes as little surprise after he wasn't able to practice in any fashion Tuesday through Thursday while managing the two injuries. Assuming Bell is sidelined, the Browns will likely turn to rookie Michael Woods and hybrid running back/receiver Demetric Felton to take on more reps alongside starting wideouts Donovan…read more

  • Questionable for Week 15

    Bell (thumb/toe) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Per Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, Bell didn't practice this week, so the 2022 third-rounder is looking pretty iffy for Saturday's contest. If he's unable to go, Michael Woods and Demetric Felton would be candidates to log added Week 15 snaps behind top wideouts Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones.

  • Not practicing again

    Bell (thumb) wasn't spotted on the practice field Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: The Browns will release their final Week 15 injury report later Thursday, but with Bell having not practiced in any capacity over the past three days, he appears unlikely to be available for Saturday's game against the Ravens. If that's the case, the Browns could turn to Demetric Felton and Michael Woods to pick up more snaps alongside top wideouts Amari Cooper (hip) and Donovan Peoples-Jones when the team rolls out three-receiver formations.

  • Opens week as non-participant

    The Browns listed Bell (thumb/toe) as a non-participant at Tuesday's estimated practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Cleveland won't get back on the practice field until Wednesday, but because the team plays on Saturday in Week 15, the team had to issue its first official practice report Tuesday. If Bell is able to participate in some capacity Wednesday and/or Thursday, he should be in good shape to suit up this weekend against the Ravens. He played through toe and thumb injuries in this past Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Bengals, logging 47 snaps on offense while catching all three of his targets for 27 yards.

  • Records three receptions

    Bell caught three of three targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Bell fought through injuries during the practice week after injuring his thumb and toe and being limited to three plays in Week 13. There was speculation that he could play a larger role with Amari Cooper dealing with a hip injury, which he aggravated on the opening drive per Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, but it wound up being a normal week of production for Bell. He's averaged four targets, three catches and 25 yards over his last five healthy games.

  • Available, despite lack of practice

    Bell (thumb/toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Scott Ptrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Bell's lack of injury designation is surprising considering the rookie wide receiver was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday before failing to participate in Friday's practice. Assuming Bell is indeed able to play without restrictions, he could be thrust into a larger role given the uncertainty over top wideout Amari Cooper's (hip) availability.

    Bell (thumb) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Though Bell's practice reps have been capped for both of the Browns' first two Week 14 sessions, the rookie wideout said Thursday that he'll be good to go for Sunday's game in Cincinnati, per Zac Jackson of The Athletic. In order to enter the weekend minus a designation, however, Bell may need to upgrade to full practice activity Friday. If available Sunday, Bell will likely serve as the Browns' clear No. 3 wideout after his main challenger for the role, Anthony Schwartz (concussion), was…read more

  • Limited by thumb injury Wednesday

    Bell was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a thumb injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Bell was forced out of Cleveland's Week 13 win in Houston due to the injury, but as long as he's able to upgrade to full participation by Friday, he should be in good shape to play Sunday at Cincinnati. The rookie out of Purdue has held a bit role in the Cleveland passing attack this season, collecting 20 receptions for 169 yards and no touchdowns.

  • Not returning Sunday

    Bell (hand) won't return to Sunday's game in Houston, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Bell departed the contest early in the first quarter with what was termed a hand injury. With the rookie third-round pick ruled out, the Browns will be down to Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Anthony Schwartz and Demetric Felton at wide receiver for the rest of Week 13. Bell's next opportunity to suit up is next Sunday at Cincinnati.

  • Picks up hand injury Sunday

    Bell sustained a hand injury during Sunday's game at Houston, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: According to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Bell went to the locker room early in the first quarter and was deemed questionable to return shortly thereafter. If he's unable to reenter Sunday's contest, Bell will end Week 13 action without catch on his only target.

  • Production on the rise

    Bell caught four of six targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 23-17 overtime win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Bell remains the No. 3 wideout, but the rookie out of Purdue has developed into a reliable receiver and his usage has increased as a result -- just in time for Deshaun Watson to take over as the starting quarterback. Bell's brought in 20 of 27 targets on the year, with 16 of those looks coming in the last three weeks.

  • Usage increasing

    Bell caught four of five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-23 loss to Buffalo.

    Analysis: Bell, a third-round pick in 2022, is seeing his role and usage increase as the season rolls on. He's had 10 targets the last two weeks, after totaling 11 over his first eight NFL games, and was on the field for a season-high 64-percent (48 snaps) of the offensive plays. While his four receptions are a season high, Bell was a distant third behind Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones in terms of impact. The rookie's high-water mark came in Week 4, when he had 35 yards and his lone reception for…read more

  • Season-high targets in loss

    Bell caught three of five targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 39-17 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: The five targets were a season high for Bell, who finished ahead of Amari Cooper in that category. The increased number of looks was due to the Browns needing to throw often after falling behind, but when they've been able to rely on Nick Chubb and the running attack, Bell hasn't been involved in the offense much yet beyond a target or two.

  • Records two catches in win

    Bell caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Monday's 32-13 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Bell continues to fill the No. 3 wideout role for Cleveland but is a marginal contributor. Monday's output was the second time he's had multiple catches, and the rookie has never been targeted more than three times in a game. Things could change and the passing game could open up when Deshaun Watson (suspension) is able to play, but that's not going to happen until Week 13.

  • Returns to full practice

    Bell (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Mark Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Bell's return to full practice participation suggests the rookie wide receiver should be available when the Browns face the Bengals on Halloween. The third-round pick out of Purdue is still searching for his first NFL touchdown and has only seven catches through seven games.

  • Limited to begin Week 8

    Bell was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to an ankle injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: The rookie third-round pick out of Purdue will make his first career appearance on the injury report after he apparently hurt his ankle at some point during the Browns' 23-20 loss to the Ravens in Week 7. The fact that he wasn't withheld from Thursday's practice entirely suggests that Bell is on track to play Monday against the Bengals, but he'll likely have to put in a full practice Friday or Saturday to guarantee his availability for the Week 8 contest.

  • Another one-target game

    Bell caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: Bell's usage pattern is a familiar one. The rookie has been targeted once in four of seven games and has seven catches on nine targets for 73 yards. Only one reception has gone for longer than 20 yards. With Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones showing no signs of regression in an offense that relies heavily on its running backs, Bell should not get many opportunities. The positive news is that the Browns, with holes and deficiencies in all facets of the game, may not be in the market to add…read more

  • Catches lone target in loss

    Bell caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Chargers in Week 5.

    Analysis: Bell was targeted for the fourth straight game, but his six total targets are well behind Amari Cooper (43) and Donovan Peoples-Jones (31) through five games. The bright side is that for the first time this season, Cleveland finished with more passing attempts than carries. If that trend continues, Bell could get more targets. Of course, the Browns would prefer to lean on the backfield duo of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, but other factors -- primarily a leaky defense but also curious play…read more

  • Best game to date

    Bell caught two of three targets for 35 yards, including a long of 20, in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: After being targeted once in two straight games, Bell was given a season-high in targets Sunday, as No. 1 wideout Amari Cooper was bottled up by the Falcons (one catch on four targets for nine yards). However, the rookie played just 19 snaps after getting on the field 40 times in Week 3.

  • Logs another catch

    Bell caught his lone target for six yards over a season-high 40 snaps in Thursday's 29-17 win over the Steelers in Week 3. He also returned one kick for 12 yards.

    Analysis: Bell, who has a pair of six-yard catches over the first three weeks, saw increased playing time Thursday -- his 56-percent share nearly doubled his snap allotment from the first two weeks. He plays mostly in the slot, but the Browns offense is heavy on multiple tight-end sets and don't often use three wideouts. It's uncertain if Week 3's usage is an outlier, but the rookie has moved ahead of Anthony Schwartz in terms of playing time.

  • Makes first NFL catch

    Bell caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Jets in Week 2.

    Analysis: Bell received his first target as a professional in a regular-season game and has been on the field for 28.6 percent of the offensive snaps so far. He once again was well behind Amari Cooper (54 snaps) and Donovan Peoples-Jones (52) in terms of snap count.

  • Builds off debut

    Bell caught all three targets for 36 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Bears.

    Analysis: Bell followed up a productive preseason debut last week (three catches, 46 yards) with another promising effort. It looks even better when compared to Cleveland's other receivers vying for spots behind unquestioned No. 1 Amari Cooper. Donovan Peoples-Jones caught one of three targets for four yards, while Anthony Schwartz's rocky preseason continued (one catch on six targets, two drops, eight yards). Bell is expected to start as a slot receiver but eventually could move into an outside role.

  • Gets first taste of preseason

    Bell caught three of four targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 21-20 preseason loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Bell made his preseason debut after missing Cleveland's opener with a foot injury. The rookie third-rounder ultimately led the Browns in receiving yards, helped by a long gain of 22 yards. However, Bell's only unsuccessful target proved costly, as he dropped a third-down pass that limited his team to a field goal during the second quarter. As Bell pushes for a starting role early in his career, he'll aim to eliminate similar mistakes going into next Sunday's exhibition finale versus the Bears.

  • Increases reps

    Bell received his most significant work of training camp to date Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Bell's activity included multiple red-zone targets from quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who is the leader of the first-team offense for now. The rookie receiver's introduction to camp was delayed by a foot injury, and Bell was held out of last week's preseason game. His increased workload is a sign that's he's close or at full speed. Bell is expected to work with the first team during joint practices with the Eagles on Thursday and Friday before the two teams play their second preseason game…read more

  • Status for opener not decided

    Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski hasn't made a decision on Bell's availability for Friday's preseason opener versus Jacksonville, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Bell missed the first week of camp due to a foot injury and only recently started participating in drills. He looked sharp Tuesday during red zone 7-on-7 drills, as did Anthony Schwartz, another receiver who recently returned from injury and whose status for Friday is undecided. The Browns have suffered numerous injuries at wideout early in camp, but Stefanski may choose to play it cautious with several players for the first exhibition contest.

  • Could play preseason opener

    Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski did not rule out Bell playing the preseason opener Friday in Jacksonville, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Bell was activated off the active/PUP list and practiced for the first time Saturday, but he was excluded from team drills, per Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site. Stefanski referred to Bell as intelligent and noted the progress he made during offseason activities as reasons for the coach's optimism heading into Preseason Week 1. Bell is penciled in as the team's top slot receiver.

    Bell was activated off the PUP list Saturday, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

    Analysis: The 2022 third-round pick missed nine days of training camp as he recovered from what was reportedly a stress fracture in his foot. It's a welcome sight for a Browns receiving corps that is dangerously thin from a depth perspective with Anthony Schwartz (knee), Michael Woods (hamstring), Javon Wims (illness) and Isaiah Weston (torn ACL) all out recently with various injuries.

    Bell (foot) practiced catching passes from an assistant on the sidelines during Cleveland's practice Thursday, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Bell is on the active/PUP list and could miss a couple of weeks of camp, per Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He'll be joined on the sidelines by Anthony Schwartz, who left Thursday's practice with a left knee injury that requires further evaluation. With the injuries piling up on the outside, Demetric Felton and rookie sixth-round pick Mike Woods figure to see added training camp reps.

  • Won't get more competition

    Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that he doesn't anticipate the team adding another wideout as insurance while Bell recovers from a foot injury, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Browns kicked off training camp Wednesday without Bell, who sustained the injury at some point late in the offseason program or at minicamp, according to Ahsley Bastock of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Stefanski's comments about the Browns not considering adding another wide receiver at this time supports the notion that Bell's injury isn't seen as serious.

    The Browns have placed Bell (foot) on the active/PUP list, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Per Cabot, Bell's foot issue isn't believed to be serious and the 2022 third-rounder should be able to practice soon. Once he's able to take the field again, Bell figures to compete with Donovan Peoples-Jones and Anthony Schwartz for depth chart slotting behind Cleveland's new No. 1 wideout, Amari Cooper.

  • Impressing at OTAs

    Bell has impressed with his hands and routes at Browns OTAs, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jackson notes the rookie third-round pick made several impressive catches at Wednesday's session, including the first downfield grab of the day on a pass from Deshaun Watson. Bell saw his draft stock drop due to sub-par testing numbers, but his solid 6-foot-1, 212-pound frame and early body of work offer reason for optimism, and Jackson also notes Bell is getting plenty of quality on-field coaching from veteran wideout Amari Cooper.
