Miami Dolphins rookie wide receiver Chris Bell will be a full participant in the team’s Week One game against the Las Vegas Raiders, despite recovering from an ACL tear. Head coach Jeff Hafley announced that Bell will not be on a snap count.
Bell, drafted in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, was projected as a potential late first-round pick before suffering the injury in November. His recovery has been faster than anticipated, earning him a starting position for the Dolphins’ season opener.
Hafley confirmed to the South Florida media that there would be no restrictions on Bell’s playing time. “We’re going to play him — see how he feels — but, there’s no pitch count on Chris,” he stated.
Quarterback Malik Willis will have a full array of offensive weapons available, including fellow rookies Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman Jr., Malik Washington, tight end Greg Dulcich, and De'Von Achane.
