Late in the fourth quarter, Bell collided with Jimmy Smith head-to-head at the goal line. Bell appeared to be unconscious at first, and he was taken to the locker room immediately following the play.
Fantasy impact: A questionable helmet rule robbed Bell of his second touchdown. He fell forward into the end zone after the hit from Smith, but since Bell’s helmet came off, the refs ruled the play was dead at that point at the 1-yard line.
Bell almost certainly has a concussion, and his status will have to be monitored closely in the coming week. Fortunately he has extra time to prepare for Pittsburgh’s next game with Miami on Dec. 8. Bell is teetering on the RB1 range with the was he played on Thanksgiving.
