After the Pittsburgh Steelers play the Cincinnati Bengals this coming Sunday they will have their annual bye week. At that point, it will then be interesting to see if starting running back Le’Veon Bell finally shows up to sign his franchise tag and is then ultimately allowed to contribute the remainder of the season like he has in the past.
If and when Bell does return during the bye week, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger made it clear during his weekly Tuesday interview on 93.7 The Fan that the team’s current starting running back, James Conner, shouldn’t just be made to return to the bench and watch Bell handle all the workload moving forward.
