When the Pittsburgh Steelers had their conditioning run Thursday, Le’Veon Bell was nowhere to be found. According to one report, that’s not going to change any time soon.

The #Steelers had their conditioning run at 4 pm & RB Le'Veon Bell is nowhere to be found. Expected to be away from camp several weeks.

While his teammates give impassioned pleas for Bell to return to the fold, Bell really doesn’t have a good reason from his perspective to be in camp right now.

His teammates, including Antonio Brown, want to see him in the worst way and have quite a different take. They know their championship window is minuscule right now because Ben Roethlisberger might be playing out his final season.

When and if Bell does arrive, he’ll sign his $12.12 million franchise tender and play out the season. It’s hard to imagine the two sides working out a longterm deal after that.
