Dolphins' Chris Bell practices fully after shedding non-contact jersey

Summary

Chris Bell of the Miami Dolphins practiced in full on August 24, 2026, after he removed his non-contact jersey. The rookie wide receiver had been wearing the jersey since returning from an ACL injury he sustained last November while at Louisville. As the Dolphins prepare for their final preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons, Bell's recovery appears to be progressing well, allowing him to join a rookie receiver group with Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman Jr. Bell's ability to get in game shape quickly could lead to early contributions in the regular season.
