Bell a 7th round pick of the Bears was on their PS until Oct when he was plucked by the Falcons. He will fill one of the open roster spots left by Reader and Ivey. I presume the other spot will be CTB's next week
More depth on defensive line with DJ Reader out for the season. Bell certainly has the size. pic.twitter.com/ITedtB1IEM

I dont understand claiming Bell off waivers. He was a late round pick that couldnt make the Bears 53 man roster. The Falcons plucked him, got a look at what he could do then they release him. Bell is also smaller than Reader DJ Reader is 6' 3" 327 pounds so obviously a bigger presence in the middle. Domenique Davis is actually closer to Reader's size being 6' 3" 326 and Davis has been practicing in Lou's defensive scheme where Bell is coming from another team yet Bell will be on the 53 man roster since he was claimed. I just dont know about this addition. With all the available options out there with this team trying to make the playoffs and trying to replace Reader, the Bengals organization sign Travis Bell to the 53 man roster?
