Steelers' Le'Veon Bell: Suspension over

Bell is slated to rejoin the Steelers this week after serving his three-game suspension, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Analysis:

Bell watched his team go 2-1 in his absence, with veteran DeAngelo Williams rushing for the sixth-most yards (258) in the league along the way. While Bell figures to reclaim the vast majority of the Steelers' backfield workload from Williams, his return from suspension also figures to help Pittsburgh's passing game, where they've lacked a consistent alternative option to star Antonio Brown. In fact, Williams boasts the second-most receptions (14) among his Steelers teammates right now, evidencing the huge upside Bell has in reassuming his lead role this Sunday against the Chiefs.
