We're now 10 weeks into the NFL season and somehow, there's still no clarity on the situation involving and the .If Bell wants to play in the this year, he has to report to the team by 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 13. Although Bell hasn't given any indication about what he plans to do, it seems that the Steelers are expecting him to show up.During Tedy Bruschi Jersey an interview , Steelers owner Art Rooney II admitted that he has no idea what the plan is for Bell, but he did add that he expects the running back to report at some point before Tuesday's deadline."I don't know what his plans are, but I would say that at this point, we expect him to come back next week," Rooney said. "We know he's back in Pittsburgh and so we're hoping to have some communications with him over Matthew Judon Jersey the weekend, and we're kind of expecting he'll be back next week."Rooney's quote basically epitomizes the crazine s of the Bell situation perfectly.

"We're in uncharted territory here in terms of this has never really happened, as far as I know. There are questions that we may get to at the end of the season, but we'll cro s those bridges when we get to them after the season."
