Vikings sign Dillon Bell to practice squad following roster release
Summary

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.
