Dolphins place no playing time restrictions on rookie wide receiver Chris Bell

Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley announced that rookie wide receiver Chris Bell will have no limitations on his snap count during the team's season opener against the Raiders. Bell, a third-round draft choice, missed the entirety of the offseason and much of the summer while rehabbing from a torn ACL sustained at Louisville last year. He is set to join fellow rookie Caleb Douglas in the starting lineup for the team's first game. Hafley stated that both players earned their roles through performance rather than developmental priority. While the head coach noted that the team intends to monitor the development of its young foundation, he emphasized that the current priority is to compete for wins.
