Le’Veon Bell is back in the NFL after being out for about a month.
Bell is reportedly signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and looks to be on their active roster right away, not their practice squad.
In November, Bell was waived by the Ravens after the team felt that he wasn’t needed anymore.
Bell will now likely get a decent chunk of the carries in Tampa Bay due to Leonard Fournette’s injury. He hurt his hamstring on Sunday night against the Saints and is likely going on injured reserve for the rest of the regular season.
Buccaneers now are “likely” to place RB Leonard Fournette on injured reserve with the hamstring injury that left him on crutches Sunday night, per a league source. He then would miss rest of regular season.

Bell had 83 yards rushing and a touchdown on 31 carries while he was with the Ravens.
Before that, Bell spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs during the 2020 season and got all the way to the Super Bowl before losing to the Bucs. He finished with 254 yards and had two touchdowns on 63 carries.
He will be teaming up with Antonio Brown once again as they were teammates in Pittsburgh.
The NFL world had some interesting reactions to this signing.

I honestly don’t hate this. He can at least catch out of the backfield, which we really need right now. https://t.co/QTYKSGRN3S

You could sign @RGIII at running back and get better production than Lev Bell. https://t.co/mCPKXJe53M

Not a bad idea if you ask me. Need someone who can catch the ball as Rojo and Vaughn can’t https://t.co/PKRy8aBgCI
