Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell did not get his suspension wiped out, but he will at least be back a bit earlier than originally stated.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Bell’s suspension for missed drug tests was reduced from four games to three on appeal.

It’s mixed news for Bell and the Steelers. Obviously, it’s one more game with Bell than Pittsburgh originally thought they’d be getting. However, Bell was pretty bullish about his chances of getting the suspension thrown out entirely, so he’ll probably be disappointed by the ruling.
