Running back Le’Veon Bell is back on an NFL roster, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Bell is expected to sign a deal with the Buccaneers, pending a physical.
Bell appeared in five games for the Ravens this year after getting signed to the practice squad in early September. He joined Latavius Murray and Devonta Freeman to create a trio of veteran running backs tasked with filling the void created by season-ending injuries to the team’s original 1-2 punch, J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. In limited time spelling Murray and Freeman, Bell carried the ball 31 times for 83 yards and two touchdowns.
Bell is once again being asked to replace some production lost to injuries with Ronald Jones II banged up and Leonard Fournette likely joining Chris Godwin and Pat O’Connor as recent additions to the injured reserve list.
The move reunites a dynamic duo of days past from Pittsburgh as Tampa Bay is now home to Bell and former-Steeler Antonio Brown. The Killer B’s will certainly be satisfied replacing Ben with Brady.
