Steelers say Le'veon Bell will not play against the Ravens.
Their "next man up" at RB is a guy with 9 carries in his career, Josh Harris. Although they recently signed Ben Tate, he's expected to be a backup. They also have rookie Dri Archer who is a diminutive 5-8", 175 pounds but a speedster.
It's one thing to have to play your second-string RB, it's another when your backup is essentially a practice squad guy.
I don't think the Steelers can pull it off without Bell unless their defense plays above and beyond.
