Overview
- ESPN reports Bell will undergo ACL repair in Dallas with Cowboys team physician Dr. Dan Cooper.
- Bell exited the SMU game with a knee injury, did not return, and then missed the regular-season finale against Kentucky.
- He delivered a breakout 2025, recording 72 receptions for 917 yards and six touchdowns to earn All-ACC honors.
- ESPN’s Field Yates had projected Bell late in Round 1 before the injury, and he now says the setback will likely push Bell out of the first round.
- He is expected to miss the scouting combine and postseason all-star games during rehab, and Louisville will face Toledo on Dec. 23 in the Boca Raton Bowl.
