Steelers players raid locker of teammate Le'Veon Bell

PITTSBURGH -- Le'Veon Bell is missing more than the season.

In a fitting end to a bizarre holdout story, several Pittsburgh Steelers players rummaged through Bell's locker and removed his No. 26 nameplate after Wednesday's practice.

Bell forfeited the season and his $14.5 million franchise tag by failing to report to team headquarters on Tuesday. He left behind a locker full of stuff, including cleats, shirts and a mixtape CD labeled 'Le'Veon Bell #1."

Linebacker Bud Dupree scored two pairs of Jordan cleats and thanked Bell.

"Appreciate the cleats, my guy," Dupree said into a camera.
