Le'Veon Bell Facing 4-Game Suspension for Violating NFL Substance Abuse Policy

Le'Veon Bell, the best running back in the NFL, can’t stay out of trouble. The Pittsburgh Steelers star is facing a 4-game suspension for violating the NFL policy on substance abuse, multiple outlets reported this morning.

He didn’t fail a drug test; he just missed drug tests.

The Steelers have already lost budding star receiver Martavis Bryant – possibly for the entire season – due to a violation of the NFL substance abuse policy.

Bell arrived in the NFL from Michigan State with modest fanfare, and had a solid rookie season before blowing up in 2014: 1,361 yards and eight touchdowns. He was injured in the season finale and missed the Wild Card game.

But he was arrested (DUI, marijuana) in the offseason and missed the first two games of the 2015 campaign. Then he torn his MCL in November and missed the rest of the season.

The Steelers 1st four games in 2016 are against three playoff teams:

at Washington
vs Cincinnati
at Philadelphia
vs Kansas City

The Eagles are the only automatic win in there, the other could be three losses.
