When the Steelers signed running back DeAngelo Williams, they knew he’d need to carry the load at the start of the season while Le’Veon Bell was suspended. And the Steelers couldn’t have hoped for anything better than the performance Williams has given them, with 41 carries for 204 yards and an NFL-high three rushing touchdowns through two weeks.

But now Bell is off his suspension, and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin made clear that Bell is the starter again.

“I’m going to play Le’Veon Bell,” Tomlin said.

Still, Tomlin made clear that Williams has done enough to earn some playing time even after Bell returns.

“I can’t say enough about the contributions of DeAngelo Williams,” Tomlin said. “He’s been a good asset and acquisition for us. He’s working hard to compete and contribute in all areas. Obviously, we get Le’Veon Bell back this week. We are excited about that. But we are excited about having both guys.”

The Steelers have two very good running backs. That’s an enviable position to be in.
