Dolphins | Hafley: no pitch count for Chris Bell Wed Sep 9, 01:45 PM
Miami Dolphins rookie WRs Chris Bell and Caleb Douglas are starting receivers (at least in three-receiver sets), head coach Jeff Hafley confirms. Hafley added that there will be no pitch count on Bell.
| Footballguys view: Bell spent part of the offseason on the NFI list as he recovered from the torn ACL he suffered his final season in college at Louisville. The Dolphins are rebuilding this year, and that's why two third-round rookies are their starting wide receivers. We've got both Douglas and Bell as 'what the heck' flex plays in Week 1. |

Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II is no longer in a red, no-contact jersey.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com suggests, the running back may be ready to go for Miami's Week 1 matchup with the Raiders on Sunday, but he could also be held out as a precaution. The second-year pro is set to serve as the No. 3 option behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright, meaning the Dolphins arguably have the luxury of giving Gordon an extra week to recover if necessary. |

Link to storyMiami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich is a 'candidate to lead the team in targets,' in the opinion of ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques.
| Footballguys view: The 26-year-old is slated to handle TE1 duties for the Dolphins this season after he caught 26 passes for 335 yards and one touchdown over the final nine games last regular season. As CBSSports.com suggested, a catch-first athlete at the position, there's a world in which Dulcich paces this offense in receiving in 2026 due to the lack of proven playmaking at the wide receiver position. |

Link to storyMiami Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) was cleared for practice earlier in the week, but after taking part in pregame warmups in uniform, he is not in uniform for the game, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: We shouldn't expect Bell to be a contributor right away, but now that he has been activated from the NFI list, he should start the season on the active roster. Fellow third round pick Caleb Douglas should get a chance to be the primary deep threat while Bell is rounding into form. Bell should be ready to play at some point in the first month of the season, which is good news for quarterback Malik Willis in his first season as the Dolphins starting quarterback. |

Link to storyMiami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers (groin) was able to do some throwing Wednesday, Aug. 19, and is making progress in his recovery, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: As the primary backup to Malik Willis, the Dolphins are going to be wisely cautious with Ewers. He was injured last Friday and is back throwing in less than a week. Groin injuries can be tricky, but it sounds like he should be ready to hold a clipboard and be "one play away" come Week 1. |

Miami Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) was activated from the Active/Non-Football Injury list Monday, Aug. 17.
| Footballguys view: Bell, wearing a red non-contact jersey, practiced for the first time on Monday. He participated in stretching and individual drills, but he sat out of 11-on-11 work. Bell tore his ACL in December. His return to full health could potentially give Miami an exciting pair of young wide receivers. Fellow rookie Caleb Douglas has been one of the standout players at training camp and started the Dolphins' preseason opener against the Commanders. We'll continue to monitor Bell's progress. |

Miami Dolphins WR Jalen Reagor worked as the No. 3 receiver in the preseason opener Friday, Aug. 14, against the Washington Commanders. He was working ahead of WRs Tutu Atwell, Jalen Tolbert, and others, seeing reps alongside WRs Caleb Douglas and Malik Washington. 'He had earned the right through practices to put himself in that situation,' head coach Jeff Hafley said. 'I like the way he strained. He's catching the ball well. Run after the catch has good. He's blocking well.'

Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II was pulled from the preseason game Friday, Aug. 14, against the Washington Commanders after taking an unsportsmanlike penalty. 'Had a talk with him immediately and pulled him out of the game, eventually let him go back in. As far as the conversation goes, I'll keep that between us. It was a great time to teach the team a lesson and Ollie a lesson.' head coach Jeff Hafley said. 'We had an opportunity to continue a drive; post-snap penalties like that are not acceptable to me. It's disrespectful to the team. It's selfish.'

Miami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers (groin) suffered a groin injury in the preseason game Friday, Aug. 14, against the Washington Commanders, according to a league source. Ewers struggled with his completion percentage in the game, and it was enough of a concern that the team re-signed QB Mark Gronowski.
| Footballguys view: Some thought Ewers was good enough late last season to push Malik Willis, or at least give the team an alternative if Willis struggled mightily in his first starting job. Now it's unsure if he'll be able to back up Willis up against the Raiders in Week 1. |
