Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell has been officially ruled out for Saturday night’s wild-card game against the Baltimore Ravens due to a hyperextended right knee.

The team announced Friday that Bell won’t play after he suffered the injury last week and hasn’t been able to practice this week.

Bell left the Steelers’ 27-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals week after taking a helmet shot on his knee. The injury did not leave the 6-foot-1, 225-pounder with any ligament or structural damage.

Bell is the AFC’s rushing champ with 1,361 yards on the ground, second only in the NFL to Dallas’ DeMarco Murray (1,845). Bell also caught 83 passes for 854 yards.

The Steelers signed fourth-year veteran Ben Tate as running back insurance Tuesday. Rookie Josh Harris likely will start against the Ravens. Dri Archer can play a role out of the backfield on passing downs and Tate also could see action.
