Dillon Bell’s Rough Preseason Finale | Duluth News

The Vikings’ preseason finale was a brutal wake-up call, exposing roster battles and shaky performances as the regular season looms. Wide receiver Dillon Bell, targeted six times but catching only one pass for eight yards, plummeted to the bottom of the team’s offensive rankings — a damning stat heading into final cuts. At just 22, he’s likely headed to the practice squad, but still has time to prove himself. Meanwhile, running back Demond Claiborne, who looked promising in camp, gained just 21 yards on eight carries in the finale. In the NFL, one bad game can derail a season — but for players like Bell, it’s about staying ready, staying hungry, and fighting for a spot — even if it starts on the practice squad.
