According to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ injury report Friday, veteran running back DeAngelo Williams is expected to play Sunday when the Steelers take on the Cincinnati Bengals.

He has missed the last five games while recovering from knee surgery.

It could be that Williams has returned just in time. Over the course of the last four weeks, running back Le’Veon Bell has touched the football a staggering 140 times.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has made it clear with Bell on the roster and healthy this is his job. In the first two games of the season, with Bell serving a three-game suspension, Williams carried the football 58 times. Then in Week 3 it dropped to eight but that was as much about the ugly 34-3 loss as anything.

Once Bell was back in the fold, Williams carries fell to nearly nothing before he hurt his knee. We might see Williams on the field a bit when Bell splits out as a wide receiver, but don’t look for Bell’s workload to suddenly take a dive.
