While much of Steeler Nation holds it’s collective breath regarding Le’Veon Bell’s injury, it appears that his condition is rapidly improving. Monday, reporters were saying that Bell could barely walk.
Yesterday, Coach Tomlin called Bell’s injury a hyper-extension of the knee, and said that Bell was riding the exercise bike at the Steelers facility. Today, by many accounts, Bell doesn’t appear to be limping at all.
Fwiw, saw Le'Veon Bell walking outside of locker room. No signs of limp #grainofsalt

LeVeon Bell looks 100 times better walking around today than he did Monday. Still don't think he plays this weekend, though, for #Steelers

Just saw LeVeon Bell walking in hallway. No discernible limp.

Just talked to #Steelers RB LeVeon Bell. Twice said "I feel great." But also said, "I'm just going to take it day by day."

This sounds like great news, but I wouldn’t get too excited. The Ravens game is only 3 days away. Personally, I think it’s a coin toss as to whether or not he’s available on Saturday, though, I’d be surprised if he’ll be able to play.
