Ben Roethlisberger on Le'Veon Bell: 'One Guy Doesn't Make or Break' Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger isn't sweating star running back Le'Veon Bell's absence heading into Week 1.

"Football's the ultimate team sport. One guy doesn't make or break you," Roethlisberger said Wednesday, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. "So I'd like to say that the linemen are more important than any skill position player, including myself, on this team. This offense is more than one guy."

Bell has been holding out during training camp and the preseason, but he also didn't show up to Wednesday's meetings, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
