Le’Veon Bell Suspended For 3 Games

The NFL has handed down Le’Veon Bell’s long awaited punishment today. The Steelers running back has been suspended for three games, and will lose an additional game check for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy.

As Schefter notes, Bell is going to appeal his sentence. LeGarrette Blount, who was in the vehicle with Bell last August, was recently suspended for one game for his involvement last summer. Most people it seems, myself included, expected Bell to receive a 2 game suspension. Perhaps the league will reduce it upon appeal, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
