Le’veon Bell spoke with media at Latrobe today and alleviated some fears about the severity of his knee injury. Bell says that he aggravated his previously injured knee and that it’s nothing serious. Although he still wants to play Monday night, it doesn’t seem likely that the team will take the chance by putting him in.

One important note- Bell was not tackled. He was hurt when he landed wrong after being contacted by Steve McLendon. The protocols of the drill were followed, and Bell doesn’t blame the defense. He said he let up and slowed down a little too much on the play, and fell on the knee wrong.

I’ll refrain from making a Chuck Norris type Steve McLendon joke here. You’re welcome.
