Le'Veon Bell implied in a tweet Tuesday night that he will rejoin the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 1 -- a day after Pittsburgh's final preseason game.

Responding on Twitter when asked when he would return to the field, Bell tweeted: "9-1-17."

Bell is expected to sign the franchise tender upon his return, according to a report. He has skipped training camp and hasn't signed his $12.1 million franchise tender.
