Figuring Out Le’Veon Bell’s Workload For Opener A ‘Hard Question’ For Fichtner

Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell is going to be reporting soon…ish…we think. Most likely, he will be here within the next week, practicing with the team in preparation for the Steelers’ first regular season game a week from Sunday.

One of the questions that the team, and in particular first-year offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner, will have to try to answer is how much of a workload the workhorse running back should receive in his first game(s) back on the field after missing the entirety of the offseason process.

Or perhaps more accurately, how much of a workload he can receive while remaining effective.
