For Le’Veon Bell, the good news is that he didn’t tear his ACL, as many speculated when he first took his hit along the sideline during the Steelers loss to the Bengals. The bad news, though, is that according to multiple reports, first reported by Steelers Depot, is that Bell tore his MCL and will be out for the season.
