The Pittsburgh Steelers managed to have a good Tuesday in spite of having taken the day off before donning the shoulder pads for their third training camp practice today. They learned that they will have the services of their All-Pro running back, Le’Veon Bell, a game early, following a successful appeal of his three-game suspension.
In addition to reducing his suspension down to two games, Bell also had the forfeiture of an additional game check overturned, meaning that he will now receive 14 game checks, rather than 12.
Of course, the Steelers open up the season against the New England Patriots, whose quarterback, Tom Brady, just had his four-game suspension upheld on the same day.
