Alec Lewis mentioned on the Vikings flagship radio station that it was a mild surprise the Vikings weren’t able to get something done
regarding a trade. It’s not a surprise that they weren’t willing to part with him for just anything, especially with the likes of Kyle McCord and Quinn Ewers fetching sixth-round picks. What will end up happening with McCarthy? We still don’t know, but I would be surprised if he was on the Vikings much longer.
Bell practiced Monday without a red non-contact jersey. He took a bigger Tuesday 11-on-11 load and caught a sideline pass from Malik Willis and a 15-yarder from Quinn Ewers. Schad wrote it is probable Bell debuts Friday against Atlanta. A clean week would put the third-rounder on the field for Week 1 at Las Vegas. A PUP start would cost at least four games. Slowik called him a big, fast, competitive catcher with high GPS numbers and few schematic limits on Louisville tape. Miami will still settle his role as it gets used to him. Schad sketched a possible snap ramp of about 12-20 at Vegas, then 17-25 at San Francisco, then 25-30 and up, because the staff has said it will be cautious with the ACL return.
