Steelers will remain tough for Redskins even without Le'Veon Bell

The Washington Redskins might catch another break for the season opener -- but it also should come with a warning. Yes, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be without receiver Martavis Bryant and now, according to ESPN, their absent list might include running back Le’Veon Bell thanks to a possible four-game suspension for a violation of the NFL's drug policy.

The Redskins host the Steelers in a Monday night game on Sept. 12. If Bell loses his appeal the Steelers would be minus one of the NFL’s top running backs in addition to a solid receiver.
