According to the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Atlanta Falcons are signing defensive tackle Travis Bell off the Chicago Bears practice squad. Bell was a seventh-round pick of the Bears this year from Kennesaw State.
Neither Atlanta nor the Bears have announced this transaction, but as a practice squadder, Bell is free to sign with any team’s active roster. This move will likely become official on Wednesday when it comes across the NFL’s transaction wire.
In three preseason games for Chicago, Bell had six tackles and a half a sack, but he was waived when the Bears cut their roster down to 53 players for the regular season.
