Ex-Cardinal Bell Makes Dolphins Roster After ACL Rehab

Chris Bell, a former Louisville wide receiver, has earned a spot on the Miami Dolphins' 53-man roster, a significant achievement less than two weeks after his activation from the non-football injury list. Bell's journey back to the field included rehabilitation for a torn ACL he sustained in November.

He is currently listed as the second-string receiver on the Dolphins' depth chart. Coach Jeff Hafley expressed optimism about Bell's recovery, noting his ability to accelerate, decelerate, and cut, crediting the player's hard work.

Bell is among thirteen former Louisville Cardinals players who successfully made NFL 53-man rosters. Notable former Cardinals include Tutu Atwell (Rams), Jarvis Brownlee (Jets), Kei'Trel Clark (Cardinals), Yaya Diaby (Buccaneers), Ashton Gilotte (Chiefs), Bryan Hudson (Giants), Lamar Jackson (Ravens), Sheldon Rankins (Texans), Mark Redman (Packers), Quincy Riley (Saints), and Tyler Shough (Saints).
