Sources told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler earlier this month that Bell intended to report to the Steelers during the Week 7-8 time frame.
Despite that statement, as of Sunday, Bell still had not been in touch with team officials or players, sources told Schefter.
After Conner’s 135-yard, two-touchdown performance in Sunday’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Bell took to Twitter.

After its Week 7 bye, Pittsburgh (3-2-1) will next take the field in Week 8 at home against the Cleveland Browns. Who knows what Le’Veon is thinking. He’s already missed out on millions of dollars with this stunt.
