Report: Le'Veon Bell to make Pittsburgh Steelers bow at Wembley

Rookie running back Le'Veon Bell is expected to make his first NFL appearance for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, according to a report.

Second-round Draft pick Bell suffered a foot injury during pre-season and has yet to appear for the 2008 Super Bowl champions.

However, the 21-year-old suited up during last weekend's defeat against the Chicago Bears and is in the frame to take on the Minnesota Vikings at Wembley, reports Fox Sports' Jay Glazer.

Glazer said on Twitter: "Huge news for Steelers, team is now planning to play RB Le'Veon Bell this week. Progressed faster than they thought."

Bell's return to fitness comes at a good time for the 0-3 Steelers, who have seen Felix Jones, Jonathan Dwyer and Isaac Redman rush at an average of just 3.2 yards per carry so far this season.
