Caleb Hanie

Marion Barber and Kahlil Bell will share the workload against Denver.

Bell acknowledged that it’ll be tough to replace Matt Forte.

“I’m confident in my abilities to play the game,’’ Bell said. ‘‘I feel like I can catch the ball. If they need me to do that, I’m going to do that to the best of my abilities. I’m not going to try to be anybody else that I’m not.”

Bell did note, though, that he and Caleb Hanie have had plenty of time to work together because they were on the scout team the last two seasons.
