The Pittsburgh Steelers are actively shopping running back Le’Veon Bell, according to NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport, and another report suggests the San Francisco 49ers have at least modest interest.
CBS Sports reporter Jason La Canfora is reporting the 49ers and New York Jets have both made exploratory calls, and the Philadelphia Eagles are also interested. La Canfora said, “nothing has advanced beyond a preliminary stage and San Francisco’s interest is likely mitigated by the season-ending injury to quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.”
The 49ers lost running back Jerick McKinnon to a torn ACL prior to the start of the regular season.
