On Thursday, a day after the arrest of both Le’Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount for possession of marijuana, as well as a DUI for Bell, both players are in Philadelphia for the Steelers’ third preseason game against the Eagles.
NFL Network’s Aditi Kinkhabwala confirmed on Thursday morning that head coach Mike Tomlin plans for both running backs to play tonight.
Mike Tomlin’s plan is to play both Bell, Blount tonight. Jobs decided tonight; whole team shouldn’t suffer. +Not a knee-jerk kind of guy
