The Bengals have placed Brandon Bell on the Non-Football Injury List, signaling he’s not yet healthy enough to practice when training camp opens this week. Bell still counts against the 90-man offseason roster limit.
Active/NFI is related to an injury that’s non-football related, though it’s really just any injury sustained in either offseason workouts or a previous college injury. It’s unclear what is hindering Bell at this time, but it’s nonetheless bad news for the second-year linebacker, who is squarely on the roster bubble. Hopefully, this issue is minor and he’ll be on the field soon as he looks to compete for a spot on the 53-man roster.
