For weeks there’s been a discussion about whether or not running back Le’Veon Bell would show up for the Pittsburgh Steelers — and if he did, would it be in time to play in Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns. That’s been answered now as Bell officially will not play the upcoming game.
The initial reaction is to think the Browns caught a break — which they did. Bell is a one of a kind talent and affects the game both as a great runner, but also catching the ball.
This doesn’t mean they can take his replacement lightly.
