Bell (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. This was an expected transaction after the rotational safety suffered a gruesome dislocated shoulder back in Week 11. Bell is widely regarded as one of the better special teams aces in the league, so his absence will be missed.
Bell will miss the remainder of the season due to a dislocated shoulder suffered in Monday's loss to the Texans, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Bell may ultimately need surgery to repair his shoulder and will likely be placed on injured reserve in the very near future. The absence of the Flordia A&M product will be a significant blow to the Cowboys' special-teams unit.
Bell (shoulder) will not return to Monday night's game against the Texans, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. The safety got hurt in the first half while attempting a tackle on a kickoff return. Bell did not record a stat before exiting. The third-year pro has played mostly on special teams this year.
Bell (shoulder) is questionable to return to Monday night's game against the Texans, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. The safety got hurt while attempting a tackle on a kickoff return. Bell did not record a stat before exiting. The third-year pro has played mostly on special teams this year.
Bell (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Bell missed the Cowboys' Week 4 win over the Giants after sustaining an ankle injury the week prior, but following Wednesday's full practice session, it appears he's moved past the issue. Expect Bell to serve as a depth piece in Dallas' secondary as the season progresses.
Bell (ankle) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Giants, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Bell wasn't able to practice all week, so he'll be held out of Thursday's NFC East showdown. His next chance at suiting up will be Week 5 against the Steelers on Oct. 6. Israel Mukuamu and Juanyeh Thomas are in line to see increased work as Dallas' reserve safeties behind starters Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker.
Bell (ankle) is listed as doubtful ahead of Thursday night's matchup with the Giants, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. Bell was unable to practice all week after sustaining an ankle injury during the Cowboys' Week 3 loss to the Ravens, so it's no surprise that he's not expected to suit up Thursday night. Assuming Bell is held out in Week 4, expect Israel Mukuamu to see increased work as one of Dallas' reserve safeties.
Bell (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. According to Harris, head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Monday that the team will "know more tomorrow" about Bell's ankle injury after being estimated as DNP. The 25-year-old didn't return to Sunday's contest after sustaining the ankle injury, and if he's unable to suit up Thursday night, expect Juanyeh Thomas to see increased playing time as the Cowboys' top backup safety.
Bell (ankle) underwent an MRI on Monday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. Bell is awaiting results to know the severity of the injury that took him out of Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Ravens. More clarity on the backup safety's status for Thursday's game against the Giants should come when the team releases its first injury report.
