The Steelers’ high-powered offense was going to turn Heinz Field into the home of the Greatest Show on Grass in 2016.
Instead, it’s starting to look like the Greatest Show on Weed.
First Martavis Bryant was suspended for the 2016 season for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. It will be his second suspension. He also sat out the first four games of the 2015 season.
Now, Le’Veon Bell quite likely will be forced to miss the first four games of the 2016 season for missing a drug test. Counting playoffs, that will make it 14 consecutive games that Bell has been unavailable to the Steelers when combining last season’s knee injury and this season’s impending suspension.
