RB Bell promoted from practice squad

As speculated here a couple hours ago, the Bears elevated running back Kahlil Bell from the practice squad to the active roster after placing running back Garrett Wolfe on injured reserve.

Bell entered the NFL this season as an undrafted free agent with the Vikings. The 5-foot-11, 212-pound UCLA product was signed to the Bears’ practice squad Sept. 16 after being waived by the Vikings a month earlier.

Bell rushed for 1,741 yards and 17 touchdowns on 395 carries (4.4-yard average) in 35 games at UCLA and caught 29 passes for 196 yards (6.8-yard average) with 1 touchdown.
