Player Notes
November 23, 2008
Mike Bell is expected to be active for Monday's game against the Packers, according to Scout.com.

Our View:He would have a favorable match-up against the Packers' 27th ranked run defense, but may not register enough touches to make an impact while working from the bottom of the depth chart. This could indicate that Reggie Bush (knee surgery) won't be available.
November 18, 2008
Mike Bell was signed by the Saints on Tuesday, according to Scout.com.

Our View:Bell might get some of the playing time that Reggie Bush would be getting if he were healthy.
August 10, 2008
Mike Bell could be playing in Canada sometime soon, as TSN.com reports that the BC Lions are interested in talking with him.

Our View:Bell was a Bronco last season and was with the Texans this preseason before getting cut due to being out of shape. This would eliminate Bell's fantasy value, except in CFL fantasy leagues, of course.
August 8, 2008
Mike Bell has been placed on waivers by the Texans, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Our View:Bell showed up to camp out of shape, then he sustained a hamstring injury. The Texans have several talented backs fighting for a roster spot at running back, like rookie Steve Slaton and former Titan Chris Brown, and Bell was not likely to make the team in his current condition.
August 6, 2008
Earlier today we reported newly-signed rusher Mike Bell is not likely to hit the field for Houston as they face his former employer, the Denver Broncos, in preseason action on Saturday. This evening a report from the local beat writer suggests Bell has arrived in camp in poor shape, thus leading to his injury on the first day of practice with his new Texan teammates, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Our View:Coach Gary Kubiak didn't say as much, at least not directly. Asked about Bell, Kubiak suggests he is "not even close" to ready for play, and that seems to give some credence to the report that Bell is out of shape and struggling to get into playing form. We'll keep you posted on his progress moving forward.
