ESPN’s Todd Archer reports Cowboys S Markquese Bell “was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and marijuana on Friday.”

11 April 2026

Per Archer, the marijuana possession charge is a misdemeanor offense, but the controlled substance charge is a felony. The NFL will likely wait out the legal process before stepping in with a potential suspension. Bell appeared in all 17 games for the Cowboys last year, primarily as a backup. He is currently in the second year of the three-year contract he signed last offseason.
