It comes as no surprise, but the Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly will not have Le’Veon Bell in Week 2.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that there was no sign of Bell at Steelers’ headquarters as of noon Saturday, and he wouldn’t be available against the Kansas City Chiefs.
It's just after noon, and there's no sign of RB Le'Veon Bell at Steelers' headquarters. So he's off their depth chart, he's not at Steelers' complex and he's out for Sunday vs. KC.
Bell's lost revenue is now over $1.7 million for missing this season's first two games.

Bell’s holdout doesn’t appear close to ending. He was last seen out in Miami and has shown no inclination toward returning to the team and playing on the frenchise tag, even if it’s costing him a significant sum of money.
The Steelers will once again roll with James Conner as their lead back after he racked up 192 total yards from scrimmage last week. Bell’s contract dispute will enter the third week of the regular season, and it doesn’t look particularly promising that it will be resolved in time for him to play next week either.
