Bills' Skyler Bell: Healthy scratch Week 1
Rotowire
Bell (coach's decision) is inactive for 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.

Bell (lower body) will not participate in Saturday's preseason game against the Browns, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
Bell has been limited in practice due to a lower-body injury he sustained in practice before last week's preseason opener against the Panthers. The Bills made it clear the injury was very surmountable, but the team is being careful with the rookie fourth-rounder until the regular season commences.

Bills' Skyler Bell: Back to side work Thursday
Rotowire
Bell (lower body) was present for Thursday's practice but was limited to side work, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
Bell missed Buffalo's preseason opener last week and still isn't quite yet 100 percent ahead of Saturday's exhibition. The fourth-round rookie should make the Bills' 53-man roster, but him potentially not being able to practice much or play in preseason games would likely hurt his chances for earning a role on game days to begin the regular season.

Bills' Skyler Bell: Working through lower-body injury
Rotowire
Bell did not play in the Bills' 29-14 preseason win over the Panthers on Saturday due to a lower-body injury, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Joe Brady relayed to reporters after Saturday's contest that Bell could have played if it was a regular-season game. Bell is expected to be back at practice in the coming week, which puts the rookie fourth-rounder on track to play in the Bills' next exhibition game, which takes place Saturday, Aug. 22 against the Browns. The UConn product is competing against the likes of Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer and Mecole Hardman for rotational snaps on offense behind DJ Moore (lower body) and Khalil Shakir.
