2026 Projections
On track for training camp
Bell (knee) said Friday at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine that his recovery from a torn ACL suffered Nov. 22 is proceeding on track and he expects to be able to participate in NFL training camp, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bell will not participate in combine drills and is not expected to take part in Louisville's pro day prior to the 2026 NFL Draft, but he said he expects to begin running next week and will "be potentially returning by training camp" but "want[s] to progress faster than that." Matthew McGavic of SI.com reports that Bell has commonly been projected as a potential early/mid second-round pick in April's draft, and it appears his recovery progress has been sufficient enough to instill teams with confidence in such an investment of draft capital. The 6-foot-2, 222-pound wideout's combination of size and speed paved the way for an impressive senior season in 2025, in which he logged 72 catches for 917 yards and six touchdowns, earning First-Team All-ACC Honors.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Vegas-bound in Baumgardner's mock
Nick Baumgardner of The Athletic's three-round mock draft has Bell going 36th overall to the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Bell is the seventh wide receiver off the board in Baumgardner's mock as the fourth pick of the second round. Bell had 72 catches for 917 yards and six touchdowns with Louisville in 2025. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound wide receiver tore his ACL on Nov. 22, so he isn't expected to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine or Louisville's Pro Day.
