The Facts:
The Steelers could be out with Bell, their projected starting running back, for considerably longer than expected. Bell has a rare midfoot sprain that's being classified as a Lisfranc injury, a source told the Tribune-Review on Wednesday morning, and the team is now hoping to have him return in about a month.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As recently as last week, Bell had expressed hope of returning for the next game in Cincinnati, but coach Mike Tomlin offered no update of any kind in his Tuesday news conference. Bell, the highly touted second-rounder out of Michigan State, was hurt in an Aug. 19 preseason game in Washington. Isaac Redman will make another start in Bell's absence. The team also re-signed Jonathan Dwyer this week after LaRod Stephens-Howling suffered a season-ending torn ACL. Felix Jones is also on the roster, but is still said to be working his way up to speed on the playbook.
