Bell (coach's decision) is inactive Week 1 against the Texans.
Bell didn't appear on the injury report at all this week, so it appears the rookie fourth-round pick will be a healthy scratch. While Bell still has a promising long-term outlook after a solid Week 3 effort in the preseason, this doesn't bode well for anyone hoping for early-season utility. In his stead, veteran Greg Dortch, who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, will get the nod on the active roster.
