Le’Veon Bell won’t be suiting up when the New York Jets take on the brother Giants on Thursday night, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post.
A source told Costello the news on Wednesday, just a day prior to the team’s exhibition opener at MetLife Stadium. While it surely may be disappointing from a fan perspective, this is not a surprise for everybody who’s been following closely.
Bell, 27, missed the entire 2018 season due to a contractual decision. That, and that alone, presented the lone evidence in thinking the stud back may suit up in Week 1 of the preseason.
