Team president Art Rooney II said he doesn’t know when running back Le’Veon Bell will report to the Steelers, but he expects it to be sometime before the start of the season.
Rooney has not talked to Bell since the start of training camp, but said others in the organization have, including Coach Mike Tomlin.
“He has not given any indication to anybody that he plans to hold out into the season,” Rooney said Thursday before practice. “But I don’t think he’s given Mike [Tomlin] any day he’s planning to come, either.”
Rooney said Bell’s absence from training camp has not been a distraction to the team, nor did he seem overly concerned his star running back is not at Saint Vincent College.
