Report: Joique Bell, Jeremy Kerley visiting Bills

Free-agent running back Joique Bell is visiting the Buffalo Bills, NFL Network's Rand Getlin reported Tuesday.

Wide receiver Jeremy Kerley will also visit the Bills on Wednesday, according to multiple reports.

Bell rushed for 311 yards and four touchdowns, adding 22 receptions for 286 yards in 13 games with the Detroit Lions last season. However, he was released by the Lions on Feb. 16 after spending the past four seasons with the club.

The veteran running back would be a welcome addition to the Bills' run-heavy offense, but would likely serve as LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams' backup.

Kerley caught 16 passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns last season, playing in all 16 games for the New York Jets. If Kerley were to sign with the Bills, he'd likely replace Chris Hogan, who signed with the New England Patriots.

The 27-year-old would be reunited with head coach Rex Ryan, who coached Kerley in the same capacity with the Jets.
