Steelers' Le'Veon Bell: Hasn't been activated yet

Bell has yet to be activated from the Reserve/Suspended by Commissioner list, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Analysis:

Having logged a three-game suspension for a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy, Bell is eligible to return to the Steelers and serve as the featured back. However, under league rules, the team has a deadline of 4 PM ET on Thursday in order to bump him up to the 53-man roster. During his absence, the backfield has been in the capable hands of veteran DeAngelo Williams, but Bell will retake the reins as he's further recovered from the torn MCL that ended his 2015 campaign in Week 8.
