Cowboys' Markquese Bell: Back in action
Bell (dehydration) has returned to Sunday's contest against Baltimore, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Bell was briefly sidelined while battling dehydration, but he has now made his way back out onto the field. The safety is operating in a starting role in the absence of Malik Hooker (forearm) and P.J. Locke (foot), and he will look to leave his mark during the final stretch of Sunday's matchup.

Cowboys' Markquese Bell: Dealing with dehydration
Bell (dehydration) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Bell has been forced out of Sunday's matchup as a result of dehydration, and his availability for the rest of the game is now up in the air. Fellow safety Jalen Thompson (hamstring) has already been ruled out for the rest of the game, so Dallas has become rather thin in the secondary.

Cowboys' Markquese Bell: Set to start Sunday
Bell is set to start Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
The Cowboys' secondary has already caught the injury bug two weeks into the regular season. Both of the team's free safeties, Malik Hooker (forearm) and P.J. Locke (foot), will likely miss Sunday's game. This leaves Bell (the backup strong safety) to suit up across from Jalen Thompson to try and slow down a Ravens offense quarterbacked by Lamar Jackson.

Bell (concussion) was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and marijuana Friday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

He is entering the second season of a three-year, $12 million contract that he signed with Dallas in March of 2025. Bell appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Cowboys in 2025, splitting his time evenly between defense and special teams. He finished with 41 tackles (20 solo), three pass defenses (one interception) and one forced fumble.

Cowboys' Markquese Bell: Enters concussion protocol
Bell has entered the league's concussion protocol and has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Giants, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Bell went to the locker room during the second quarter of Sunday's game and was diagnosed with a concussion after an evaluation by medical staff. With Bell done for the day and Alijah Clark (personal reasons) inactive, the Cowboys will have no safeties behind Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker the rest of the way. Cornerbacks C.J. Goodwin, Corey Ballentine and Trikweze Bridges could see some snaps at safety as a result of Bell's injury.
