The Facts: Bell is not reporting to the Steelers this week, source tells NFL Network's Jim Trotter.
Diehards Line:The newest theory is Bell doesn't want to get traded to a team he might not want. That being the case, the expectation is Bell will report shortly after the trade deadline on October 30. That means James Conner gets another week of full workload. Meanwhile, as NFL Network's Ian Rapoport suggests, tune in after the trade deadline, maybe 4:01 p.m. Eastern time a week from Tuesday.
