Cowboys' Markquese Bell: Shifts to IR
Bell (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
This was an expected transaction after the rotational safety suffered a gruesome dislocated shoulder back in Week 11. Bell is widely regarded as one of the better special teams aces in the league, so his absence will be missed.

Bell (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Cowboys' Markquese Bell: Not playing Week 4
Bell (ankle) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Giants, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Bell wasn't able to practice all week, so he'll be held out of Thursday's NFC East showdown. His next chance at suiting up will be Week 5 against the Steelers on Oct. 6. Israel Mukuamu and Juanyeh Thomas are in line to see increased work as Dallas' reserve safeties behind starters Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker.

Cowboys' Markquese Bell: Doubtful for Thursday night
Bell (ankle) is listed as doubtful ahead of Thursday night's matchup with the Giants, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Bell was unable to practice all week after sustaining an ankle injury during the Cowboys' Week 3 loss to the Ravens, so it's no surprise that he's not expected to suit up Thursday night. Assuming Bell is held out in Week 4, expect Israel Mukuamu to see increased work as one of Dallas' reserve safeties.

Cowboys' Markquese Bell: Estimated as DNP
Bell (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
According to Harris, head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Monday that the team will "know more tomorrow" about Bell's ankle injury after being estimated as DNP. The 25-year-old didn't return to Sunday's loss to the Ravens after sustaining the ankle injury, and if he's unable to suit up Thursday night against the Giants, expect Juanyeh Thomas to see increased playing time as the Cowboys' top backup safety.

Cowboys' Markquese Bell: Unlikely to repeat IDP performance
Bell's production in 2024 is unlikely to match the career-high 94 tackles he collected over 17 regular-season games last season.
Undrafted in 2022 out of Florida A&M, Bell broke out in 2023 as one of defensive coordinator Dan Quinn's favorites, filling a hybrid linebacker-safety role that put him in position for a high tackle total despite the fact that he was on the field for only 612 defensive snaps. Quinn left in the offseason to take the head coaching job in Washington, however, and new DC Mike Zimmer's scheme doesn't have the same history of deploying safeties in a flexible manner. The Cowboys also bolstered their linebacking corps over the winter with free-agent signing Eric Kendricks and 2024 third-round pick Marist Liufau, leaving less need for Bell to reinforce their ranks. If he's stuck in a rotational role as a pure safety behind Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker, Bell's IDP numbers will have nowhere to go but down.
