Le'Veon Bell leaves MNF with foot injury

Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell didn’t last long in his first NFL game before heading to the trainers. Bell carried the ball four times on the Steelers first offensive drive, but Jonathan Dwyer was on the field with the offense for the Steelers second possession.

Bell, meanwhile, was on the bench getting looked at by trainers. The Steelers announced that Bell was done for the night because of a right foot injury a short time later, ending his first NFL game action almost as quickly as it started.

Fantasy Impact: 

The injury is being called a mid-foot sprain by the Steelers, which of course opens the door to Lisfranc. Bell missed the first preseason game because of a left knee injury and then was in and out of practice last week for the same reason. If Bell, who was running a lot with the first team, was to miss time, Dywer and Isaac Redman move up on the depth chart as well as LaRod Stephens-Howling. At this point, all indications are that Redman is ahead of Dwyer, but Dwyer looked pretty good last night (68 yards on 14 carries), while Redman (stinger) was held out.
