Louisville football’s Jeff Brohm recaps season after beating Kentucky
Louisville football coach Jeff Brohm shares what the Cardinals must improve on after defeating rival Kentucky 41-0 at L&N Stadium.
- Louisville wide receiver Chris Bell reportedly tore his ACL during the ACC finale against SMU.
- The injury could potentially impact Bell’s NFL draft stock, where he was projected as a first-round pick.
- Bell was the team’s leading receiver, finishing his senior season with 917 yards and six touchdowns.
Chris Bell’s time with Louisville football is over, but his NFL draft stock may be at risk.
The wide receiver reportedly tore his ACL against SMU during the ACC finale on Nov. 22, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Bell, projected to be a first-round pick, was the team’s leading receiver and ended his senior season with 917 yards and six touchdowns on 72 catches. He had 46 yards on five receptions in the Cardinals’ 38-6 loss to SMU and missed the Governor’s Cup against Kentucky. It was the first game he’d missed as a starter for the Cardinals.
Dacari Collins is Bell’s backup and will likely get the start in the Cards’ Boca Raton Bowl game against Toledo on Dec. 23.
