Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell will miss playoff game

Pittsburgh running back Le’Veon Bell’s injured right knee won’t be ready in time for today’s wild-card game against Baltimore.

Coach Mike Tomlin on Friday ruled his star running back out of the first round of the playoffs after Bell missed a third straight day of practice.

Bell hyperextended the knee in last Sunday’s win over Cincinnati. Bell was walking without a limp by Wednesday but never suited up for practice.

Rookies Josh Harris and Dri Archer along with newly acquired Ben Tate will all get a chance at replacing Bell.
