Bell took his only reception for 30 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Jets.
The reception was just Bell's third of the season after catching 15 in his rookie campaign last year. The emergence of Vance McDonald has curtailed the potential development of the 49ers' 2015 fourth-round pick. The former did leave Sunday's game with a shoulder injury, so there is potential for Bell to receive extended playing time next week if McDonald is unable to suit up. Either way, he is nothing more than a player to keep an eye on in the event he gets extended run down the stretch for a now 1-12 49ers team.
