ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler finally broke the silence. After weeks of guessing whether or not Le’Veon Bell was going to return, the ESPN reporter spoke on the phone with the running back, who remains in Florida during his off-time.
The phone call allowed Bell to announce his return for Week 8. Pittsburgh will take on the Cleveland Browns in the first game with their Pro Bowl running back.
Bell also told Fowler he will try to make amends with his teammates. After no contact with the team during their first four weeks of the season, plenty of players have openly criticized Bell’s decisions.
