As the Cowboys safety attempted to tackle Dameon Pierce returning the kickoff, Bell's left arm bent back awkwardly, causing the defender severe pain.
He was also seen trying to grab Bell's left arm as he fell to the ground.
The injury occurred early with 14:51 left in the second quarter.
Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Bell “came off the field with medical assistance” and was holding his left arm.
Bell reportedly immediately headed to the medical tent and then to the locker room before being ruled out for the remainder of the game by the Cowboys due to a shoulder injury.
Monday was Bell's ninth appearance of the season, recording six total tackles and five solo tackles.
Bell is in his third season with the Cowboys, joining the team as an undrafted free agent.
