    No Ligament Damage for Le'Veon Bell, BUT...

    He appears Doubtful to play on Saturday night when Steelers host the Ravens in Wild Card Round. It is still early in the week though so we shall see.

    PIT - No ligament damage for Le'Veon Bell
    Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter
    Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell (knee) didn't suffer ligament damage to his knee, an MRI exam confirmed Monday, Dec. 29, according to a source. However, it'll prove difficult for Bell to play in the wild card playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens, depending on how he feels.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    We won't know if Bell is going to play until game time. He's likely going to be a game-time decision, and honestly it will be tough for Bell to suit up. The game is on Saturday, and that doesn't help things--especially since he was injured Sunday night.

    Can the ravens secondary handle antonio brown?? With bell out (if he is) they can concentrate more on him, but they havent been strong this year.

    last time they played, Big Ben had 6 TD's

    Bell only ran for 20 yards on 10 carries

    i'm sure Baltimore will be scheming to shut down the aerial attack then.

    What the heck does it mean depending how he feels? He is not sick with the flu. If there is a risk of blowing his knee he won't play. The doctors will decide. It's not a matter of him saying I feel good..lets go. Quit posting garbage articles here.

    Depends on whether the illegal pain-killers work.

    Na, he was a cancer in the clubhouse, just like at all his other stops besides New England.

    Steelers will have Bell ready to go in the second round..
    and there will be a second round because the Ravens are a joke.

    How do the Steelers manage to pick up Ben Tate? He played Sunday for minny, now all of a sudden he can jump to the Steelers 6 days later?

    UFA? RFA?

    He is a free agent since the Vikings released him last week. Nice pick up for the Steelers.

    I'm hoping Steelers can skate by Ravens and Bell can go next round. That's a tough loss. They are very limited with using the backs they currently have.

    Ravens don't suck. They're legit.

    Will be a tough game and the Ravens have a real chance.

    The Steelers will roll with Tate and air it out all day long.

    I would be surprised if Tate gets many carries. I think he gets possibly 3 touches. Just need a healthy body.

    If Le'Veon cannot go, Josh Harris would start and be the lead back.

    Blount better than tate. But pitt is more dependant on Big ben and brown that the running backs

    I think the Steelers win rather comfortably. (Well, by more than 3 at least ) Teams going in different directions to end the season and Ben can torch Balty secondary again just like last time with or without Bell.
