Steelers RB Bell suspended three games, will appeal

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell was suspended three games and fined a game check for a fourth for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy.

Bell will immediately appeal the ruling. The league has a history of reducing punishment for substance abuse violations.

The 23-year-old was a second-round pick in 2013 and became the anchor of the Steelers’ offense in 2014, when Bell had 11 touchdowns, 2,215 yards from scrimmage and was named All-Pro.

Bell’s punishment stems from a DUI and marijuana possession arrest last summer.

Without him, the Steelers would likely use newly signed DeAngelo Williams, the former Carolina Panthers’ starter who was added to ease the heavy burden on Bell.
