News

  • Loses starting spot in 2024

    Bell recorded 55 total tackles, one forced fumble and two passes defended, including one interception, over 17 games in 2024.

    Analysis: Bell opened the season as Cincinnati's top strong safety, logging 48 total tackles and two passes defended, including one interception, over the team's first 11 games. However, he struggled in coverage, allowing a 108.8 passer rating when targeted, and the Bengals' defense allowed an average of 26.9 points per game through Week 11. As a result, he was benched in favor of Jordan Battle following the team's Week 12 bye. After Battle took over as the starter, Bell recorded just seven total tackles…read more

  • Records interception in win

    Bell recorded six tackles (three solo) and one interception in the Bengals' win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Bell picked off Andy Dalton late in the first quarter and returned the ball 32 yards to the Carolina 16-yard line, setting up the offense in the red zone for an eventual Chase Brown touchdown catch to put Cincinnati up 7-0. The ninth-year veteran safety has 29 tackles (12 solo) and the lone interception through four contests, and has played all 258 defensive snaps.

  • Registers nine tackles Monday

    Bell had nine tackles (four solo) in the Bengals' 38-33 loss to the Commanders on Monday.

    Analysis: Bell has played at least 57 defensive snaps in each of the first three games of the regular season, and his 23 tackles over that span is third-most on the Bengals behind Germaine Pratt and Logan Wilson (33 each). Bell will look to stay busy against Andy Dalton and the Panthers in Week 4.

  • Active versus Washington

    Bell (back) is active for Monday night's game against the Commanders.

    Analysis: Bell was listed as questionable on the injury report, but he's been cleared to play against Washington. The veteran safety enters Week 3 with 14 tackles (five solo) and has played 99 percent of the defensive snaps. He'll see a lot of Zach Ertz in coverage Monday.

  • Draws questionable tag

    Bell (back) did not practice Saturday, but he is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Washington, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Bell popped up on the Bengals' injury report Thursday with a back issue. While he's listed as questionable for Monday's game, the fact he ended the week with back-to-back DNPs doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up. Jordan Battle is listed as the No. 2 strong safety on the Bengals' depth chart. However, given Battle has played only one defensive snap over the first two games of the regular season, corner Mike Hilton could be tasked with sliding over to the strong safety spot alongside…read more

  • Doesn't practice Friday

    Bell (back) did not participate in Friday's practice session, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Bell was limited Thursday, and his downgrade to a DNP on Friday is a step in the wrong direction in regards to his status for Monday's game against the Commanders. He'll have one more chance Saturday to practice in some capacity. Jordan Battle, Tycen Anderson and Mike Hilton would all be candidates to start at strong safety Monday if Bell is unable to suit up.

  • Picks up injury

    Bell (back) was limited during practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Bell played all but one defensive snap in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, so it's not exactly clear when he may have suffered the injury. Taking that into consideration, it's unlikely this will affect his status for Monday's game against the Commanders. However, his practice status Friday and Saturday will be worth monitoring.

  • Returns to Cincy

    Bell signed a one-year contract with the Bengals on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Bell played three seasons with Cincinnati before a one-year stay in Carolina, which saw him record 69 combined tackles and an interception in 2023 across 13 contests. The 29-year-old was released by the Panthers on Wednesday and agreed to take the minimum salary with the Bengals, as he's still getting $6 million guaranteed from his former team.

  • Getting let go

    Bell is slated to be released by the Panthers ahead of the start of the new league year Wednesday.

    Analysis: Bell signed a three-year contract with Carolina last spring, but after one season, he'll now be looking for a new home. The veteran safety appeared in 13 games last season, recording 69 tackles (42 solo), two passes defended and an interception. His exit is expected to save the team only $1 million in 2024 cap space, according to Greg Auman of Fox Sports.

  • Career low in stops

    Bell finished the regular season with 69 tackles (42 solo) and one interception on two passes defended in 13 games.

    Analysis: Bell missed a few games with quadriceps and shoulder injuries, contributing toward a career low in tackles. The 29-year-old has seen his tackle total decrease in three straight seasons and offered minimal impact breaking up passes this term. Nonetheless, he remains under contract with the Panthers for the 2024 campaign, and it's unclear whether defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero will remain in charge.

  • Solid outing in loss

    Bell recorded seven total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old's seven tackles Sunday brought his season total up to 63, making him Carolina's third-leading tackler while he's played just 11 games thus far. Bell has dealt with both shoulder and quadriceps issues throughout the year, but he's averaging almost six tackles per game when he's been on the field. The veteran safety and Carolina's defense will look to end the season on a positive note, with matchups against Jacksonville and Tampa Bay over the next two weeks.

  • Cleared to play Week 14

    Bell (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints after logging a full practice Friday.

    Analysis: Bell was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but he avoided an injury designation by increasing his practice participation Friday. The starting strong safety will return from a one-game absence Sunday.

  • Gets back on field

    Bell (shoulder) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Bell missed the team's loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday after logging three consecutive DNPs heading into the weekend, so his return to the field is ultimately a step in the right direction. However, Bell should still be considered questionable for Week 14 against the Saints and may need to up his activity level in practice as the week goes on to increase his chances of suiting up.

  • Won't play at Tampa Bay

    Bell (shoulder) is listed as out for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Bell will miss his fourth game of the season in Week 13, this time due to a shoulder injury he sustained in Week 12 at Tennessee. Sam Franklin figures to start at safety in his place Sunday.

  • Misses practice to start week

    Bell (shoulder) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Bell was forced out of Sunday's loss at Tennessee early due to a shoulder injury, and he's now also sitting out to start the Panthers' new week of practice. If he can't return to practice Thursday or Friday, he'll probably end up sidelined in Week 13 at Tampa Bay.

  • Will not return

    Bell (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Titans, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Bell suffered the injury late in the second half and will now need to wait until Week 13 to potentially return to the field. It's not yet clear what the specifics of the Ohio State product's injuries are or if he could be looking at a longer-term absence.

  • Leaves with injury

    Bell has exited Sunday's game against the Titans with a shoulder injury, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Bell had three tackles before suffering the injury late in the second quarter, and he's considered questionable to return. His absence will certainly be a blow to the Panthers' secondary while he is out of the game, and Alex Cook, Sam Franklin and Jammie Robinson are all candidates to see increased snaps in his place.

  • Solid showing in blowout loss

    Bell recorded seven tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 33-10 loss versus the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Sunday was the fifth time in Bell's last six games where he was able to rack up six or more total tackles. His consistency as a tackler in the defensive back slot makes him a solid IDP consideration when the Panthers travel to Tennessee in Week 12.

  • Returns to action

    Bell (quadriceps) played for the first time since Week 5 in Thursday's 16-13 loss to the Bears and recorded four tackles (two solo).

    Analysis: The Panthers' starting strong safety also played on all 70 defensive snaps. Bell has 37 tackles, two passes defensed and an interception in six games this season.

  • Set to return

    Bell (quadriceps) is active for Thursday's game against the Bears, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Bell will suit up for the first time since Week 5 while recovering from a quadriceps injury. He and Xavier Woods will be on the field together for the first time since Week 3, which could help the Panthers secondary.

  • Status still in question

    Bell (quadriceps) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bears.

    Analysis: Bell has been considered a full participant in practice all week, but his status for Week 10 remains in question. The Ohio State product last played Week 5 against the Lions, and with several injuries impacting Carolina's defense, a return by Bell would be a boon for the team's secondary against Chicago.

  • Looks good for Week 10

    Bell (quadriceps) was a full participant at Monday's walk-through practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official website reports.

    Analysis: Bell looks in line to snap a two-game absence streak assuming he avoids any setbacks throughout the week. If that is the case, he will presumably take on his usual role at strong safety. Thus, Alex Cook and Matthias Farley would return to their depth roles at the position.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Bell (quadriceps) is out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The starting strong safety also missed the team's previous two games. Bell has 33 tackles, two passes defensed and an interception this season. Alex Cook and Matthias Farley could be in line to get more playing time in his absence.

  • Doubtful for Week 9

    Bell (quadriceps) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: Bell was a limited participant in all three of Carolina's practices, but it would be surprising if he manages to play. The veteran safety last took the field in Week 5 against the Lions. With Jeremy Chinn (quadriceps) on injured reserve, Alex Cook could get the start against Indianapolis if Bell sits out as expected.

  • Back at practice Wednesday

    Bell (quadriceps) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: It's the first work Bell has gotten in practice since he popped up on Carolina's injury report ahead of Week 6. The Panthers' practice reports Thursday and Friday will give a better idea of whether he'll be able to suit up Sunday versus Indianapolis.

  • Not ready to return Week 8

    Bell (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Bell's last appearance came in Week 5 against the Lions. His next chance to play will come in Week 9 against the Colts, with Alex Cook and Sam Franklin likely to see more playing time against the Texans in Bell's absence.

  • Missing Wednesday's practice

    Bell (quadriceps) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Despite getting extra rest with the Week 7 bye, Bell is still nursing the quadriceps injury he sustained ahead of Week 6 at the Dolphins. If he's still absent from practice Thursday and Friday, he'll probably have to sit out again Sunday versus the Texans.

  • Will sit out at Miami

    Bell (quadriceps) is listed as out for Sunday's game at the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Bell seems to have sustained a quadriceps injury at practice during the week, as he was limited at practice Thursday and absent entirely Friday after not being listed on Carolina's injury report Wednesday. The precise severity of the issue is unclear at this point, but he'll be forced to sit out at least one game as he recovers. With Xavier Woods (hamstring) also listed as out, Sam Franklin and rookie fifth-rounder Jammie Robinson will probably see significant workloads at safety in Week 6.

  • Posts nine stops in loss

    Bell finished with nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's Week 5 loss to Detroit.

    Analysis: Bell led the Panthers with his nine stops, finishing with his highest total so far this season. The veteran safety has 33 tackles and an interception though five games in his first campaign with Carolina.

  • Logs eight tackles in win

    Bell recorded eight solo tackles in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Bell has now seen his tackle total grow in each game this season. He was also on the field for all 71 snaps, which means he has yet to miss a snap through three games. Thus, his reliability at safety is something to be noted. He will look to continue increasing production in Week 4 when the Panthers host the Vikings.

  • Snags interception in loss

    Bell recorded six tackles (three solo), two pass deflections and one interception in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Bell tallied a career-high four picks last season with the Bengals and is off to a good start now with the Panthers. The veteran safety has also been reliable, as he has yet to miss a defensive snap out of 122 played, including 74 on Monday. He will look to stay active in the secondary when the Panthers head to Seattle in Week 3.

  • Three tackles in team debut

    Bell recorded three tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Bell had a relatively quiet debut with the Panthers after he signed with the team in the offseason. The safety is coming off of a 2022 campaign where he recorded 77 tackles and a career-high four interceptions with the Bengals, and he'll look to build off of that success in his first year with Carolina.

    Bell (hamstring) has been participating in training camp.

    Analysis: Bell suffered a hamstring injury during minicamp, but the 28-year-old appears to be fully recovered now. This is his first season in Carolina after spending the previous three with the Bengals. As long as he remains healthy, Bell is expected to start at strong safety.

  • Absent from practice

    Bell (hamstring) missed practice Tuesday, Anthony Rizzuti of Yahoo Sports reports.

    Analysis: Coach Frank Reich noted Tuesday that Bell had "tweaked his hamstring" and that the injury wasn't serious. The safety had a career-high four interceptions in 2022 with the Bengals to go along with 77 total tackles, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. Bell signed a three-year, $22.5 million contract with the Panthers in March and should start alongside Xavier Woods in the secondary.

  • Links up with Carolina

    Bell and the Panthers reached agreement on a contract Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Bell's departure from Cincinnati could open up an every-down role for 2022 first-round pick Dax Hill, especially with the Bengals also in danger of losing fellow free agent Jessie Bates this spring. Bell had an unusual final season in Cincinnati, finishing with a career-low 77 tackles but making up for it with four interceptions. He'd picked off just two passes through his first six seasons despite making 67 starts between New Orleans and Cincinnati. The 28-year-old should stay on the IDP map…read more

  • Tallies 77 tackles in 2022

    Bell ended the 2022 regular season with 77 tackles, four interceptions, eight passes defended and one sack across 16 games. He added 17 tackles and one sack over the Bengals' three postseason contests.

    Analysis: Bell, who is one of the Bengals' team captains, will be a free agent this offseason but is likely to re-sign with the team. Assuming he does, the 28-year-old should reclaim a starting role at safety for the Bengals in 2023.

  • Gets in on sack

    Bell logged seven tackles (five solo), including half a sack, during Sunday's 23-10 win against the Browns.

    Analysis: Bell split a sack with linebacker Logan Wilson, as the two prevented Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson from escaping the pocket on a blitz in the third quarter. The starting strong safety also finished with the Bengals' second-most tackles behind Wilson, and he has now logged 64 tackles, seven passes defended and a career-high four sacks. Bell's every-down role should continue to net him consistent production over the final four games of the regular season.

    Bell compiled four tackles while recording two interceptions and deflecting two passes in Thursday's 27-15 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Bell was able to intercept Tua Tagovailoa in the first quarter when he tried to take a deep shot to Tyreek Hill across the middle of the field. Bell later picked off Teddy Bridgewater when the quarterback attempted to target Mike Gesicki in the fourth. The two interceptions were Bell's first of the year and doubled his career total to four over his seven seasons in the league.

  • Forces fumble in Week 2

    Bell posted seven tackles (five solo) and one forced fumble during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Bell paced Cincinnati with seven tackles, including one for loss, and caused a turnover by stripping Dalton Schultz at the end of the third quarter. After a disappointing two-tackle performance in the season opener, Bell regained his usual disruptive form in Week 2 and figures to be a key piece of the Bengals defense moving forward.

    Bell notched 97 tackles (64 solo), a half-sack, eight pass breakups, one interception, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 16 appearances in 2021.

    Analysis: Bell make consistent plays on defense despite falling just short of 100 tackles on the season. The 27-year-old safety is scheduled to play out the final season of his three-year contract with the Bengals during the 2022 campaign.

  • Activated off COVID-19 list

    Bell (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: Bell was sidelined for the regular-season finale due to COVID-19 protocols, but he will return for the wild-card matchup against the Raiders. The Bengals' starting strong safety has totaled 97 tackles, eight pass deflections, three forced fumbles and one interception across 16 appearances this season, so his return will certainly provide a boost to Cincinnati's secondary.

    Analysis: Bell recorded his first game of the season with double-digit tackles against San Francisco's run-first offense, and he also recorded his third forced fumble of the season. The veteran safety continues to produce with a solid fantasy floor, thanks in no small part due to his consistent involvement as a tackler.

  • Forces second fumble of season

    Bell notched nine tackles (five solo), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: With the Bengals holding a 14-7 lead in the second quarter, the Jets threw a quick pass to Jamison Crowder, who scampered for a 26-yard first down, but Bell ripped the ball away from the wideout before his knee touched the ground. It was Bell's second forced fumble of the season and his first fumble recovery. The 26-year-old safety has a solid fantasy floor due to his high tackling numbers (52 stops through eight games), but if he can continue to force turnovers, then his IDP value will grow…read more

  • Another productive outing

    Bell registered seven tackles (five solo) and one pass deflection during Sunday's win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Bell has 38 tackles through the first six weeks of the season and has had at least four tackles in every game. The 26-year-old safety could provide consistent scoring for deeper IDP leagues, but his upside is limited, as he hasn't forced a turnover or sack this year.

  • Wraps up season with loss

    Vonn, who registered three tackles (one solo) in Sunday's loss to the Ravens, finished up the 2020 season with 113 tackles (67 solo), five passes defended and three forced fumbles in 16 games.

    Analysis: In his fifth season as a pro, Vonn recorded career highs in both tackles and forced fumbles, but he didn't record a sack this year. The safety played the most amount of Cincinnati's defensive snaps this year (1,059 snaps) and will continue to be a reliable asset as he is signed throughout the 2022 campaign with the Bengals. After spending four seasons with the Saints, the Ohio State product has reached triple digits in tackles and has more than proved he is a steady fantasy factor.

  • Records another eight tackles

    Bell made eight tackles in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: After four seasons in New Orleans, Bell has made a strong first impression in Cincinnati. The Ohio State product leads the team with 53 tackles through the first seven games, adding one pass breakup as well. Bell hasn't notched any sacks, interceptions or forced fumbles yet, but those would simply be the icing on the cake of an already steady fantasy asset.

  • Piles up nine tackles

    Bell posted nine solo tackles and a pass breakup in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Bell has yet to leave the field on defense this season, and after posting a season-high nine stops Sunday, he's the leading tackler in the Bengals' locker room with 45 through six games. The Ohio State product has been quite consistent this season with at least six tackles in each game, and with the starting gig comfortably in hand, Bell has a good chance to reach triple-digit tackles this year.

  • Gets three-year deal from Bengals

    Bell agreed to terms Wednesday on a three-year contract with the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Bell spent the first four years of his pro career in New Orleans, recording at least 80 tackles in each of those seasons. After getting a multi-year deal from Cincinnati, Bell now stands to serve as a pillar in the Bengals' revamped secondary, as the team has already added cornerbacks Trae Waynes, Mackensie Alexander and LeShaun Sims in free agency. Bell could realistically see an uptick in IDP fantasy value in his new role as Cincinnati's top strong safety, considering that incumbent Shawn…read more

    Bell (knee) is officially listed as out for Week 17's game against the Panthers, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Bell failed to suit up in either of the final two practices this week heading into Sunday, so this news isn't surprising. With the Ohio State product sidelined, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson is likely to receive the start at the strong safety position.

    Bell (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Bell got a limited session in Wednesday, so perhaps this was just a rest and maintenance day for the veteran. A return Friday would bode well for his gameday status, but the Saints may elect to hold the Ohio State product out until the playoffs.

    Analysis: There were no reports Bell had suffered an injury in Week 14 against San Francisco, so it's possible this is just a rest day. The Saints still have two more practices before Monday night's game against the Colts, so the 25-year-old still has time to recover.

  • Vonn Bell does it all in win

    Bell recorded three tackles (two solo), 0.5 sacks and an interception in the Saints' 34-17 blowout victory over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Bell had a full stat line in Sunday's win as he picked off Jameis Winston and split a sack with Cam Jordan. His tackles were a bit lower than what he's used to this season, but the turnover and half-sack certainly make up for it. New Orleans gets a quality matchup against Kyle Allen and the Panthers in Week 12.
