The Facts:

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Bell suffered the injury during Monday night's preseason loss to the Washington Redskins. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin announced earlier Wednesday that Bell will get a second opinion on the injury. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that Bell's injury is not as serious as the one that will keep Steelers tight end Matt Spaeth out eight to 10 weeks, but Bell will miss an extended period time. According to Rapoport, the team has yet to determine if the injury will require surgery. Bell had been the talk of Steelers camp earlier this month. Now you have to wonder if he's dealing with an injury that might completely compromise his rookie season (subscribers can hit our
