Le'Veon Bell is expected to play this week when the Pittsburgh Steelers play the Minnesota Vikings in London.

Bell's recovery from a mid-foot sprain is progressing quicker than expected.

Bell was a second round pick in this year's draft and was expected to start at running back for the Steelers.

Maurkice Pouncey suffered a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee and will miss the rest of the 2013 NFL season.

Pouncey is a three-time Pro Bowler at center for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"You never like to see a guy get hurt, regardless of who it is," said Ben Roethlisberger. "[Pouncey] is our captain and our leader, and obviously a very good friend. It's tough."

The Tennessee Titans defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 16-9 behind a heavy run game and three Rob Bironas field goals.

The Titans had a +8.4 edge in The Trench Counter, with an 0-2 turnover win. Tennessee also had a _17 advantage in Total Rushes/Completions.

The Titans had 112 yards on 42 rushing attempts against just 20 pass attempts from Jake Locker.

Ben Roethlisberger went 21-for-33 for one touchdown and an interception while losing his center Maurkice Pouncey for the season. Isaac Redman rushed eight times for nine yards and a fumble.
