Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell has held firm in his holdout for a new contract this season, sitting out Pittsburgh's first nine games. And there's a chance the two-time All-Pro misses the entire season. If Bell doesn't report to the Steelers' facility by Nov. 13, he will be ineligible to play for the rest of the season, presumably returning to the field in 2019.
Bell's extended absence is rare, but he wouldn't be the first NFL player to hold out the entire season if he opts to stay away from the AFC North leader.
