LATROBE, Pa. -- Running back Le'Veon Bell apologized to the Pittsburgh Steelers for the distraction of his looming four-game suspension but was generally vague about the issue when addressing the media Thursday at training camp.
The Steelers expect to hear back on Bell's appeal in mid-August, coach Mike Tomlin said. ESPN's Dan Graziano reported last Friday that Bell's suspension is the result of missed drug tests, not failed tests.
"I want to apologize to Steeler Nation, all the fans and players and coaches for being a distraction to this whole situation," Bell said in a brief opening statement.
