Le'Veon Bell on Possible Holdout: 'I Am Not Going to Sit'

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell appeared on Instagram live Wednesday and intimated he won't make good on his previous threat to hold out for the entire 2018 season.

"Honestly no, I am not going to sit," he said, per The Athletic's Mark Kaboly. "I am going to be in the facility Week 1."

Bell added that he plans to treat this offseason like last year's, when he skipped OTAs and training camp but reported to the Steelers in time for the start of the regular season.

On Tuesday, the Steelers informed Bell they would designate him as their franchise-tag player for the second season in a row.
