www.nbcsports.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Markquese Bell, a Dallas Cowboys safety, was arrested on charges including possession of a controlled substance and marijuana in April 2026. The NFL and Cowboys were monitoring the situation for potential disciplinary action, with many outlets noting that details were still developing at the time.[1][5][7]
- Bell was also dealing with an earlier concussion-related status around that period, but separate from the arrest news; several reports indicate he was in concussion protocol earlier in the season, which affected his playing time.[2][3][6]
- Coverage from major outlets (ESPN, CBS Sports, FOX Sports, NBC Sports) framed the arrest as a developing legal and league matter, without immediate conclusions on suspensions or team decisions.[4][5][6][1]
