Is the timing of Le’Veon Bell’s supposed return because of the bye, or the Bengals?

Earlier this month, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that Le’Veon Bell plans to return to the Steelers this season, most likely during the Week 7 bye. While it makes sense for Bell to report at that time in order to cash a weekly check without having to participate in a game, it also coincides with the Steelers coming off of one of their match ups with the Cincinnati Bengals. And Le’Veon has quite a history with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Since coming into the league in 2013, Le’Veon Bell has missed four complete games against Cincinnati, as well as leaving two other games with season-ending injuries.
