Le'Veon Bell Reports to Steelers After Holding out over Contract Dispute

Le'Veon Bell reported to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday following an extended holdout after the two sides couldn't agree to terms on a long-term contract extension prior to training camp.

Aditi Kinkhabwala of the NFL Network first reported news of Bell's arrival.

Bell's holdout was never expected to last into the regular season after he told ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler in July that he planned to play on the $12.1 million franchise tag this season.

"It's a little frustrating, but it's a business," Bell said at the time, per Fowler.
