The Miami Dolphins are coming into the 2026 NFL season with a ton of roster turnover. No team in the NFL is likely to have more new faces starting on both sides of the ball than the Dolphins.

One of the most important position groups for the Dolphins this upcoming training camp and preseason leading up to 2026 is the wide receiver room.

Of their two third-round rookies, Chris Bell out of Louisville, who's been compared to AJ Brown, has been recovering from a torn ACL. And according to CBS Sports' Carter Bahns, the Dolphins got an update on Bell at rookie minicamp.

"Chris Bell worked out on the side amid his recovery from a torn ACL," Bahns reports. "Bell sustained the knee injury in the penultimate game of Louisville's 2025 season, which held him back from flying off the board as a potential first-rounder."

This potential draft steal for the Dolphins in the late third round will have to recover from a torn ACL. That's a worrying injury for any player, especially a rookie. But, this report is some good news for the Dolphins.
