Jets' LeVeon Bell (MSU) goes bowling till 1 a.m., then misses Sunday's game with flu

Florham Park, N.J. — Le’Veon Bell will be spared from team discipline after his weekend bowling outing.

The New York Jets running back missed the team’s 22-21 win Sunday against Miami while continuing to recover from the flu, which kept him out of practice for two days last week. Coach Adam Gase said Tuesday that team doctors determined Bell was still ill Saturday, so the team ruled him out for the game.

“He wanted to play,” Gase said of the former Michigan State star.
