Le’Veon Bell crucial to Steelers’ success until Big Ben returns

Le’Veon Bell, Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown were going to be the pillars of a powerful Pittsburgh Steelers offense in 2015.

One of those pillars went down when Roethlisberger suffered a knee injury in Week 3 at St. Louis.

That pillar hit another one on its way down. Now Bell is the only pillar left intact, and the All-Pro running back has to keep the ceiling from caving in until Roethlisberger returns from his sprained MCL and bone bruise.

Roethlisberger practiced for the first time since his injury Wednesday, according to The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
