Bell and Wood to get less time

Even though the starters for both offense and defense are expected to play at least the entire first half, rehabbing starters Demetrius Bell and Eric Wood will continue to see their workload scaled back.

Head coach Chan Gailey explained that plan Thursday.

“We’re going to try to be smart with those guys,” he said. “Especially Demetrius. Eric can probably go a little bit longer. Demetrius we’re going to try to be very, very smart with as we continue to develop him and get him ready for the season.”

Bell got 10 plays in the last preseason game against Indianapolis while Wood got 20. Expect Bell’s snaps to increase slightly, while Wood could possibly go the whole first half.
