Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell's suspension reduced to two games

The NFL today reduced the suspension of Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell from three games to two.

Bell was charged with marijuana possession and driving under the influence Aug. 20 in Ross, hours before he was to board the Steelers charter jet for an exhibition game in Philadelphia.

Bell was suspended three games in April. Former Steelers halfback LeGarrette Blount, a passenger in the car, was charged with marijuana possession, received a one-game suspension and was docked another week’s pay from the NFL because of it.

In February, Bell was admitted into the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program.
