    The Steelers are preparing for their first postseason game since 2011 as if they won't have star running back Le'Veon Bell, but coach Mike Tomlin isn't ruling him out vs. the Baltimore Ravens. Perhaps as an insurance policy, the Steelers signed running back Ben Tate on Tuesday.

    Tomlin confirmed that Bell did not sustain any structural damage after suffering a hyperextended right knee when he took a direct hit Sunday night. Tomlin, however, made it clear that the Steelers won't compromise Bell's long-term health by rushing him back for the AFC wild-card game.
