We don’t know if running back Le’Veon Bell and the Steelers are going to get a deal done by today’s 4 p.m. deadline for long-term contracts for franchise-tagged players.
And we don’t know if he’s planning to show up for the start of training camp without one.
What we seem to know at the moment is that he’s well enough to play, whenever he decides to.
According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, Bell is recovered from offseason core muscle surgery, and should be ready to participate from the start of camp. If he’s there.
