    They have activated Bell, and released Steven Johnson he's only a special teams player anyway no big loss.

    I didn't understand the move to bring him back after Sutton was put on IR since Tunch and Wolf said he had a hamstring injury he was battling. So they made the move to have a guy on the 53 plus Bell that they didn't need to make. It is strange.

    Maybe he got treatment on his hamstring by the trainers, so he is closer to being ready for the next time he is signed. If he not signed he cannot be in the Steelers facility.

    I'd have to check but I think he was one of the guys on the PS.

    James Harrison, the revolving cut.

    Just a thought that crossed my mind. I have other thoughts, but......

    He's 29 is he even eligible for the practice squad? Do I have the wrong Steve Johnson?

    You are right not sure why I was thinking he was signed to the practice squad.

    Man I was thinking that Bell was gonna lose his roster spot so we could make room for Steven Johnson. Shows how much I know I guess...

    Yeah, what does Bell do on Special Teams?

    He surely needs to show some more dimensions to his game if he wants to take Steven Johnson's place.

    shows how much they like allen to me, and don't want to risk the loss of him while it's early and all the teams are scouring the waiver wire for last minute players. this year with the way the cuts were made is quite different. :cool:
