Leonard Fournette Receives One-Game Suspension For Fight

Nov 27, 2018 3:03 PM

Leonard Fournette for one game without pay following his ejection for fighting with Buffalo Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson on Sunday.

The league said Fournette violated its unsportsmanlike conduct and unnecessary roughness rules and as a result will miss Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Doug Marrone said earlier Monday that he spoke with Fournette and other players on Monday about the fight, which happened late in the third quarter.

"Those discussions are private, and we discussed all the personal fouls with the team," Marrone said. "We have 22 personal fouls, which leads the league. It is something that stops us from having the opportunity to win football games. I addressed it with the team and addressed it with some players individually."

Le'Veon Bell Not Expected To Report By Tuesday's Deadline

Nov 11, 2018 9:03 AM

Le'Veon Bell is not expected to report to the Pittsburgh Steelers by Tuesday's deadline, which would make him ineligible for the entire 2018 season.

Bell's camp continues to maintain its cone of silence and repeatedly has declined to address with reporters his plans for the coming week.

Ten months ago, Bell said he "definitely would consider" sitting out the 2018 season or retiring at the age of 26 if the Steelers used the franchise tag on him.

Bell has been trying to preserve his value and body by sitting out.

Le'Veon Bell Spotted At Pittsburgh Gym Playing Basketball

Nov 7, 2018 7:23 PM

Le'Veon Bell was spotted in Pittsburgh at an L.A. Fitness on Tuesday playing basketball.

Despite the video, there was no indication Wednesday that Bell had visited the team's facility.

Bell has failed to sign his $14.5 million franchise tender while preserving his long-term health for a future lucrative contract.

On Wednesday night, Bell posted two messages on his Twitter account in upside-down text, saying in part that he's "not apologizing for what I believe is right for myself, family, and the rest of my peers, period."

Le'Veon Bell Not Expected To Report For Thursday's Game

Nov 5, 2018 7:06 PM

Le'Veon Bell is not expected to report to the Pittsburgh Steelers in time for their Thursday night game against the Panthers.

There is an increasing possibility of Bell not playing at all this season.

Bell must report to the Steelers by 4 p.m. ET next Tuesday or he will be ineligible for the remainder of the season.

One source pointed out to ESPN that it "doesn't make any sense for [Bell] to play now."

"If he doesn't want to play for $14.5 million, why would he want to play for $5 million?" the source told ESPN, referring to the prorated balance remaining on Bell's $14.5 million franchise tender.

The Steelers haven't heard from Bell.

Bell has said the Steelers told him they plan to place the transition tag on him this offseason, which would be worth approximately $9 million to $10 million. That tag would allow Bell to negotiate with other teams and allow the Steelers to match.
