  Speaker 1: that they can play. He noted managing multiple game plans
• 2:37

  Speaker 1: when the rookie isn't seeing heavy game snaps, Bell gets
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: significant work with Josh Allen in the first-team practice. Brady

  Speaker 1: praised Bell for leaning on veterans like Khalil Shakir and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: DJ Moore to learn both the slot and outside roles,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: emphasizing that every player on the fringe of the 48-game-day
• 3:11

  Speaker 1: Brady confirms that running back Ty Johnson is set to
