Le'Veon Bell Arrived Late For Divisional Round Walkthrough
Le'Veon Bell missed almost the entire walkthrough the day before his team lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Bell didn't arrive at the walkthrough until about five minutes before it was scheduled to end. The report went on to state that while players were expected to be in the locker room for the Sunday game two hours early, Bell didn't arrive until "much later" than that. Bell is a free agent this offseason and sat out all of the 2017 training camp due to unhappniess over the lack of a longterm deal with the team. There's a real chance he's wearing a different uniform in 2018.

Le'Veon Bell Won't Play In NFL This Year
Le'Veon Bell said on Tuesday that he won't play in the NFL in 2022 as he shifts his focus to boxing. Bell will be fighting against fellow star running back Adrian Peterson in Los Angeles on July 30. The fight against Peterson won't be a "one-off" deal for Bell. "This is, I guess like my introduction to kind of show what I'll be doing and how I'll be going about myself. Just an intro," Bell said. The 30-year-old last made the Pro Bowl in 2017 in his final season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, when he rushed for 1,291 yards and nine touchdowns. He had 429 rushing yards for four different teams over the last two seasons.

Le'Veon Bell Waived By The Buccaneers
Le'Veon Bell. The move was made to free up a roster spot for Leonard Fournette, who was officially activated from the injured reserve on Saturday. Bell could be brought back to the team's practice squad if he clears waivers. The 29-year-old rushed for 101 yards on 39 attempts and two touchdowns while catching five passes for 31 yards and a score over eight games for the Buccaneers/Ravens in 2021. Tampa Bay will roll with Fournette, Ronald Jones II, Ke'Shawn Vaughn, and Giovani Bernard as that team's top running backs for the playoffs.

Ke'Shawn Vaughn, Le'Veon Bell Could Split The Workload
Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Le'Veon Bell could split the workload in the backfield in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Carolina Panthers with Ronald Jones II (ankle) being ruled out. If Tampa needs a third back, Kenjon Barner could be available. Giovani Bernard (hip) remains on Injured Reserve, but the Bucs could choose to activate him before Sunday's game, although given his time off, he'd be a long shot for a significant role. Vaughn saw eight carries for 31 yards and caught two passes for 14 yards last week, while Bell handled three carries for five yards and caught three passes for 30 yards. Vaughn will likely be the team's choice on early downs, while Bell could be the preferred pass-catching option this weekend.

Le'Veon Bell May Be Bucs Only Healthy Running Back
Le'Veon Bell may be the team's only healthy running back. Bell was the only healthy back on the final drive on Sunday in the comeback win over the New York Jets. Ronald Jones II suffered an ankle injury late in the second half on Sunday, while it's unknown what Ke'Shawn Vaughn is dealing with after Week 17 action. Bell had only three rushing attempts in the game and gained five yards, adding three catches for 30 yards. We'll have to keep a close eye on Tampa's backfield situation heading into the regular season finale, but at the very least, Vaughn and Bell are worth speculative additions if your league concludes in Week 18.
