Chris Bell faces no snap count restrictions in Dolphins season opener
Summary

Miami Dolphins rookie wide receiver Chris Bell will have no snap count restrictions during the team's Week One game against the Raiders in Las Vegas. Head coach Jeff Hafley confirmed the decision on Wednesday, noting that the team intends to see how the player feels during the contest. Bell, a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, has recovered from an ACL tear sustained in November. He was initially expected to be brought along slowly following his injury. With Bell cleared for full participation, he joins a receiving corps that includes Caleb Douglas, Kevin Coleman Jr., Malik Washington, and tight end Greg Dulcich. Malik Willis will start at quarterback for the Dolphins, with De'Von Achane also expected to play a significant role in the game's offensive rotation.
