Le'Veon Bell says he's preparing for as many as 30 touches per game in Week 1 when the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Cleveland Browns.

Bell waited to sign his franchise tender and didn't participate in training camp with the Steelers.

"I wanted to make sure I was prepared and fresh for the season," Bell said. "I don't want to go out there and jeopardize myself getting hurt in camp. Obviously I understand I'm on a one-year deal, so I have to go out there and prepare and play football. ... My rookie year I got hurt in camp, so I didn't even want to deal with it. I wanted to get ready for Game 1, the games that count and go out there and try to win a Super Bowl."
