New York Jets RB Le’Veon Bell will sit in preseason opener vs. Giants (Report)

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.
