PSN NFL Draft Profile: Michigan State RB Jeremy Langford
With the much publicized walk-out and subsequent release of LeGarrette Blount after a Week 11 win over the Tennessee Titans, the Pittsburgh Steelers made the decision to go all in with All-Pro running back Le'Veon Bell. The plan initially worked flawlessly, as the best two-way back in the NFL carried the load and went on to have the best overall season by a Steeler running back in franchise history. All of that changed in the Week 17 finale when a hit to the knee by Cincinnati Bengals safety ... Read More
Blount in Super Bowl is a bitter pill to swallow for Steeler fans
If you had a chance to listen to any of LeGarrette Blount's Super Bowl media day comments reflecting on his sudden release from the Steelers in November, it had the air of a child who knew he had gotten away with something he was not supposed to do, and now was bragging about it. In fact, as Blount opined about how great it was to be a Patriot to anyone who would listen, you really did get the sense that Blount and the Patriots had pulled a fast one on the rest of the league. Surprised? ... Read More
Le’Veon Bell not cleared, will miss Pro Bowl
When Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell went down with a knee injury in the Steelers regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals, likely the Steelers season went down with him. But while Bell and many others felt that he would be ready to go if the Steelers got past the Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card Round of the NFL playoffs, you have to wonder if that would have been the case. Bell had said back then that if cleared he would have played against the Denver Broncos ... Read More

Le’Veon Bell ruled out for playoff game vs. Ravens
For Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell, the suspense won’t drag into game day. Bell was officially ruled out by the team on the final injury report released by the Steelers prior to Saturday’s playoff matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.

Don’t blame Reggie Nelson for Bell injury
Don't blame Reggie Nelson for the injury to Le'Veon Bell. Though it would be easy to do, and when you look at the low hit on arguably the best running back in the NFL, it gets even easier. After all, the third quarter hit to Bell's knee by the Bengals safety left Bell limping off the field with a hyperextension, and the injury has Bell's status for the Steelers playoff contest against the Baltimore Ravens very much in doubt. Beyond the fact that Bell has been dominant in 2014, and is even ... Read More
