2026 Projections
Considered ahead of schedule
Bell (knee) has resumed running and jumping in his rehab from an ACL injury suffered last November and is considered ahead of schedule in his recovery, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
ANALYSIS
Bell said late February at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine that he expects to be ready for training camp, and recovery timetable that still appears accurate. Assuming teams around the league are similarly optimistic about Bell's rehab progress, his ACL recovery shouldn't have too significant an impact on his draft stock, which has consistently been projected within the early-mid second round, if not the late first round. Schultz reports that Bell has completed four of a scheduled 13 visits with teams around the league, another sign that the Louisville product is garnering serious interest. He put up a career-best 72-917-6 line on 110 targets across 11 games in 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Mocked to Niners in second round
In his latest mock draft, Dane Brugler of The Athletic has the 49ers selecting Bell in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 58th overall.
ANALYSIS
The 49ers are looking to add to their wide receiver corps this offseason, especially if Jauan Jennings elects to sign with another team in free agency. Bell is recovering from a torn ACL that cut his final college season at Louisville short and dropped his stock heading into the draft. However, he was in the midst of his most productive season before the injury, and his combination of size, speed and elusiveness would give head coach Kyle Shanahan an intriguing pass-catching prospect to pair up with Ricky Pearsall and George Kittle.
