Dolphins' Hafley optimistic about Chris Bell's season-opener availability

Miami Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley addressed the media regarding the status of receiver Chris Bell on August 18. Bell, who has been activated, is back at practice but will not participate in the upcoming workout against the Giants and is not expected to play in that game. Hafley emphasized the need for caution with Bell's recovery. Other injury updates include Zach Sieler, who is not practicing but should be ready for the season-opener, and Kenneth Grant, who is expected to be week to week. Starting this week, the Dolphins will have joint practices and are shifting their focus to managing player intensity during these sessions instead of traditional preseason games.
