The San Francisco 49ers are bringing in former Miami Dolphins linebacker Quinton Bell to enhance their defensive lineup amid injury concerns. Bell participated in a recent tryout alongside defensive end KJ Henry, both of whom will join the team. The 49ers plan to use Bell primarily as a defensive end to address limited practice reps for Nick Bosa and the absence of Mykel Williams. Bell's NFL career began in 2019, and he has faced challenges securing a consistent role. He will have to demonstrate strong performance in training camp to earn a spot on the roster or practice squad.
