• Ronnie Bell: Back with San Francisco

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  The 49ers signed Bell to the practice squad Tuesday. Bell appeared in nine of the 49ers' 11 regular-season games before being waived from the 53-man roster Nov. 30. The 2023 seventh-round pick will remain in San Francisco on the practice squad and will be available for elevation to the active roster should the Niners need depth at wide receiver.

• 49ers' Ronnie Bell: Sees extra reps Sunday

  10/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  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.

  09/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  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.

• 49ers' Ronnie Bell: No receptions in Week 1 win

  09/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  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 catching just six of 13 targets over 17 regular-season games as a rookie in 2023. The wideout didn't record a reception in Monday's win, and he did not get an opportunity to return a kickoff while rookie Jacob Cowing handled punt return duties. Given his current role, Bell doesn't move the fantasy needle heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Vikings.

  Bell finished with six receptions (13 targets) for 68 yards and three touchdowns while appearing in 17 regular-season games for San Francisco in 2023. Bell product wasn't projected to make the 53-man roster after being selected by a team loaded at receiver, but a strong camp earned him a reserve role out of the gates. The Michigan product didn't get a ton of run with just six catches in 17 games, but he had a nose for the end zone with half of those receptions hitting pay dirt. Bell also helped fill in for an injured Ray-Ray McCloud as the 49ers' punt returner over the team's final five games. With the latter's contract expiring this offseason, Bell could find himself taking over return duties while being mixed in on offense in 2024.
