Bell finished the 2024 regular season with two catches (on three targets) for 20 yards in 15 games. The 2024 seventh-rounder out of Florida State saw limited snaps on offense as a rookie, while working behind veteran tight ends Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper. While Henry remains under contract with the Patriots in 2025, Hooper is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent, and if he's not re-signed, the 6-foot-2, 241-pound Bell could have an opportunity to see an increased complementary role in his second campaign as a pro.

Bell (neck) was a full participant during practice Thursday. Bell was limited Wednesday, putting his status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins into question. However, with his ability to log a full session Thursday, he should be all set to go for the Week 5 matchup.
Bell (neck) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Bell was never on the Patriots' Week 4 injury report and was presumably a healthy inactive for their loss to the 49ers. So, it's not clear when he would have picked up the injury.
