Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell (groin) and the Steelers are being investigated by the NFL over injury report protocol regarding Bell’s groin injury. The injury was not listed on injury reports in the weeks before the AFC Championship. Bell left that game because of the groin injury.
Footballguys View: The Steelers injury reports have been a little wonky, and of course the NFL is going to look into this situation. Pittsburgh has said that Bell’s injury did not impact his practice participation as Bell missed practice due to a personal matter, not an injury. These investigations may lead to fines, suspensions or lost draft picks.
