The Steelers enter training camp Thursday at Saint Vincent College with fewer questions looming over them than they have had in quite some time at the beginning of the preseason.
But there always are issues. Always.
Here are five of the biggest:
• Will Le’Veon Bell report Thursday and if not, when?
Why should he? Bell has not signed his one-year, $12.12 million contract as the Steelers’ franchise player, so he not only is not required to report, he cannot until he signs it. It’s the perfect excuse to stay out of training camp and avoid injury for at least several weeks.
