In this injury crisis, looking for the 29-year-old Bell wouldn’t be a bad move. While he may not be the versatile player of the past, he certainly has enough quality to act as short-term solution. As per reports, once Bell gets fit, he will also be added to the roster. Only time can tell how he performs for the Ravens.
