Bell (contract dispute) didn't report to the Steelers on Wednesday for the start of the team's Week 3 preparations, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

With Bell still listed on the Steelers' official site as a "Reserve/Franchise Player" in advance of Monday's game against the Buccaneers, there's still no timetable for his return to the team. While Bell remains sidelined, James Conner will continue to head the Pittsburgh backfield, with Stevan Ridley on hand to serve as his main backup.
