Looking deeper into Le’Veon Bell’s slow start in 2017 and the potential reasons for it

The first part of this 3-part series showed the struggles the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense had against the seventh-ranked Cleveland run defense in Week 1. Barely escaping with a win, the Steelers’ Week-2 opponent was tougher yet. Week 2 saw the Black-and-gold host the Minnesota Vikings. This is another game in which Le’Veon Bell gets chastised for his slow start. Fans claim the slow start was due to him skipping offseason team workouts, training camp, and preseason games.

Would Bell still be rusty after two full weeks of practice?

Was Bell bothered by his offseason groin surgery that occurred in March?
