Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell was expected to end his holdout and return for a team practice on Labor Day, despite the fact that he denied reports to that effect. Labor Day arrived, and Bell was a no-show. While that disappointed many within the organization, it also happened to drum up a lot of support for Bell’s backup, former Pitt star James Conner.
Specifically, Steelers guard Ramon Foster voiced his support for Conner, telling Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, “Conner has busted his ass. When you’re ready, you’re ready. He’s ready.”
Steelers reaction on Bell ranged from loyal to indifferent.
