Earlier it was reported that both Le’Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount of the Pittsburgh Steelers were arrested for marijuana possession during a traffic stop. It appears that Bell may have taken the fall for both players. The Steelers left for a preseason game with the Eagles, and Bell was the only player of the two missing from the team according to multiple sources.
Blount is traveling with the Steelers according to a source. Was not arrested and was told he could call someone and leave the scene

Bell was looking to be the Steelers starting RB this season. However, discipline from the NFL will be coming due the arrest. On the bright side for Pittsburgh, losing one RB instead of two is surely a relief for the team.
