Let’s get something straight right off the bat. Le’Veon Bell does not have to report to the Pittsburgh Steelers anytime soon. He can sit back and watch his teammates play and pick when he returns.
Despite him returning to the team prior to Week 1 in 2017, Bell is a no-show at the team’s first practice session preparing for their Week 1 game in Cleveland vs. the Browns.
There was a chance Bell didn’t report, but most expected Bell to follow the same protocol he set forth a year ago.
While he can still report this week, the Steelers organization is clearly disappointed in his decision to stay away.
