Bell will start at free safety against the Eagles on Sunday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bell will see a major uptick in work during Week 6 due to Ronnie Hickman (ankle) and Grant Delpit (concussion) being inactive against Philadelphia. The 27-year-old Bell hasn't seen much action this season outside of special teams work, but on 214 defensive snaps last season, he did have four passes defended, including two interceptions.
