Bell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Lindsey Peters of the 49ers' official site reports. It's the second time this season that Bell has been a healthy inactive, with the first instance taking place Week 4 against the Patriots. Jacob Cowing and Isaac Guerendo are expected to serve as the primary returners on kickoffs and punts for the 49ers on Sunday.
Bell played 24 of the 49ers' 63 snaps on offense and finished with one reception for 10 yards on two targets in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs. With Jauan Jennings (hip) inactive and with Deebo Samuel (illness) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) playing just four and 25 snaps, respectively, before exiting the contest, extra opportunities became available for Bell and the 49ers' other depth wideouts. Aiyuk has since been ruled out for the season, while the statuses of Samuel and Jennings for Sunday's game against the Cowboys are up in the air. As a result, Bell could be in store for at least one more contest with an expanded role, after he had played just 10 total snaps on offense across San Francisco's previous three contests. In addition to Bell, rookies Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing and veteran Chris Conley -- who is considered day-to-day with an ankle sprain -- currently represent the 49ers' healthiest receivers.
Bell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. With Deebo Samuel (calf) and George Kittle (hamstring) back in action, Bell is the odd man out. Bell played a season-high 27 offensive snaps versus the Rams in Week 3 and caught his first pass of the campaign for 12 yards.
Bell logged 13 snaps on offense (18 percent) Monday but did not log a reception in a 32-19 win over the Jets. Bell made San Francisco's opening roster as expected after a strong rookie campaign as a backup in 2023. The sophomore wideout didn't record a reception in the win, but he saw the field for 13 snaps on offense in the win. The Michigan product did not get an opportunity to return a kickoff while rookie Jacob Cowing handled punt return duties. Bell doesn't move the fantasy needle heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Vikings in his current role.
