The Facts:
On Monday, Bell said that he hopes to be ready to play in the second week of the season. That would be a much quicker return to action than originally anticipated, although one currently healthy member of the running back corps hopes he’ll be able to convince the Steelers to let him keep the job.

Meanwhile, Scott Brown of ESPN.com reports that Isaac Redman said Monday that he’d be the starter against the Titans. A previous report suggested that Felix Jones would be the starter this week, but Redman claims otherwise. Indeed, Redman also said that he’s planning on performing well enough to keep the team’s coaches from “wanting to put in anyone else” during the opener or later on down the road. As PFT's Josh Alper suggests, it’s the only attitude for a player in Redman’s position to have, but he’ll need to perform far better than he has at any point in his career to turn his hope into reality. Bell was picked in the second round because the Steelers didn’t want to move forward with Redman and Jonathan Dwyer as their backs, something they confirmed by releasing Dwyer even though Bell is out of action.
