The Minnesota Vikings have signed wide receiver Dillon Bell to their practice squad after initially releasing him from the 53-man roster. Bell, a standout player at Georgia, cleared waivers before rejoining the organization on September 2, 2026. The move comes shortly after Bell earned a spot on the active roster, a development that Georgia coach Kirby Smart attributed to the receiver's versatility and special teams utility. In addition to his receiving skills, Bell has experience as a running back and can contribute as a returner. The Vikings also added Kyle Van Noy, DeeJay Dallas, and Max Brosmer to the practice squad as part of the same transaction cycle. Bell remains a candidate for a future promotion to the active roster given his ability to play multiple positions.
