Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said that he's tentatively planning on having Bell (knee) play in Friday's preseason finale versus the Falcons, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
After completing his recovery from December surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, Bell was reinstated from the NFI list Aug. 17 and returned to practice as a limited participant. The Dolphins were comfortable clearing him for full participation Monday, and Bell seems to have bounced back well from that practice session. Even if the rookie wideout ends up not getting cleared for the Falcons game, he looks like he'll be on track to have a role in Week 1 versus the Raiders.
