KENNESAW, Ga. – The Atlanta Falcons have signed former Kennesaw State football defensive lineman Travis Bell to the active roster, the team announced Wednesday. Bell, a seventh-round pick from 2023, was claimed off the Chicago Bears practice squad.
The Montgomery, Ala. native was Kennesaw State's first NFL Draft pick in April. Bell saw action in three preseason games with Chicago and recorded one sack against the Titans. He has yet to make his NFL regular-season debut.
Bell played in 54 career games at KSU and tallied 124 total tackles (68 solo). The defensive lineman also registered 11 sacks, which ranks third in the Owl record book, and 24.5 tackles for loss, good for the fourth-most in program history. He was also named to the second team All-Big South Conference in 2021.
The Falcons are back in action this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. inside Mercedez-Benz Stadium and will broadcasted live on FOX.
