We finally learned two days ago for a certainty that Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell will be serving a three-game suspension to start the regular season, a number that was reportedly cut down from four games in a negotiated agreement between the league and the players’ association.
What this means, other than the fact that DeAngelo Williams will for the second straight year be asked to carry the load for the Steelers’ offense in the ground game at the start of the season, is that the battle between third-year running backs Fitzgerald Toussaint and Daryl Richardson for the third running back spot will continue into the regular season for three games.
