Adam Gase said he wanted to give Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) the benefit of the doubt because of "the kind of shape he's in" and his "very high pain threshold," but it made sense to put him on IR because of the timetable for recovery. He must sit at least three games. Gase: "That was an ugly play. He tried to gut it out. Like I said, I wish I would've taken him out at halftime. He's a hard one to convince that that's the right move."
