Ravens to sign Bell to practice squad

The Ravens have found another running back: Le’Veon Bell.

The team is signing the former Steelers running back to its practice squad, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed, and will likely add him to its 53-man roster when ready. ESPN first reported the deal Tuesday.

The move comes a day after multiple reports said Ravens running back Justice Hill would miss the 2021 season with a torn Achilles tendon, an injury he suffered late last week. The Ravens also lost starter J.K. Dobbins to a season-ending ACL injury in their preseason finale.

Bell, 29, a four-time AllPro for the Steelers, has rushed for just 1,117 yards on 3.4 yards per carry over the past two seasons.

That’s where Wallace is expected to line up Sunday when the Bills open their season hosting the Steelers. He has fended off challenges from former first-round pick Kevin Johnson in 2019, veteran Josh Norman a year later, and a collection of youngsters led by Pitt product Dane Jackson this offseason,

The league and the union agreed last week to update protocols so vaccinated players would be tested weekly instead of every 14 days as they were during training camp. That’s not enough, NFLPA president and Cleveland Browns center JC Tretter said in a posting on the union website.
