Le’Veon Bell injury: Steelers RB exits game with foot injury

It took only four carries for Bell to suffer another injury.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell saw his preseason debut come to an early end on Monday night. After just four carries, the second-round pick limped off the field with a foot injury.

According to Burt Lauten of the Steelers’ public relations department, Bell suffered a foot injury and will not return to the game. The severity of Bell’s injury is not yet known.

Bell has been dealing with a knee injury and missed Pittsburgh's first preseason game. He has been impressive during training camp practices but hasn't had a chance to separate himself from Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer in the Steelers backfield in preseason play.

Bell carried the ball 382 times as a senior at Michigan State and had over 600 rushing attempts during his college career.

The Steelers usually bring rookies along slowly, but Bell has been given a chance to compete for the featured role in the backfield. Of course, he can only do that if he stays on the field.
