He will not be the work horse back for any game.

Heard this morning that Steelers may self-impose discipline right now, but it's unlikely that the league will do anything in 2014. Said that DeWayne Bowe's infraction occurred last November and he's just now serving his one game. If the Steelers self-impose, look for the time off to be staggered so as not to hurt the team. Bell in week one, the Blount in week two, for instance.

Now back to

IMO, and this is just me, no source, Steelers need to deal for BJGE. He has enough gas in the tank to handle spot duty so the Steelers can save face with self-discipline. The Bengals could get something for him, and he's on the bubble anyway. Other option is to wait for the cut to 53 and see if a BJGE-type falls. Not sure where the Steelers are on waiver list. Only problem is that the last cut is not until the 30th and self-imposed discipline would probably occur in week 1.

Bell, Blount to play
quote:

Pittsburgh Steelers running backs Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount will play in Thursday night's preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles, sources told ESPN's Ed Werder, despite the fact they will be charged with marijuana possession after a traffic stop Wednesday.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin met with the players Thursday morning as he decided how to proceed, and a source says that it will be "business as usual'' for Bell and Blount because the Steelers have a lot to work on offensively.

I don't understand why the Steelers would self-impose when discipline will ultimately be handed down by the commish.
