ESPN.com reported Bell missed a drug test.Its a little frustrating, Bell said. Ive got to handle it for what it is and just keep moving forward.Bell expects the appeal to be heard sometime in August, giving the Steelers plenty of time to prepare should he be unavailable for the season opener on Sept. 12 against Washington.This is the second time Bell has faced discipline from the league. He sat out the first two games of the 2015 season as punishment for his arrest in August 2014 on DUI and marijuana possession charges following a traffic stop. Bell was originally suspended three games before it was reduced on appeal.Heading into the final season of his rookie deal, the 24-year-old understands he could be developing a reputation for off-the-field issues that may follow him around as he heads into the prime of a career that seems remarkably bright when hes available.Thats always something thats in your head, Bell said. Im sure people feel a certain way about me and thats understandable but like I said, I can only control what I can control and let everything handle itself.Steelers coach Mike Tomlin demurred when asked about Bells status and will wait until the case is adjudicated, noting anything prior to that is speculation and Im not in the speculation business.Pittsburgh is already without wide receiver Martavis Bryant, who will miss the entire season after getting suspended at least a year in March for a second violation of the policy.While losing Bell in the short term would not be catastrophic for a team coming off a second straight playoff appearance, its not exactly ideal either.Were so talented and to lose guys like that is frustrating, guard David DeCastro said.

Bell pointed out he hasnt been tackled in nine months and once that happens, Ill know exactly where I am in terms of his rehab.Maybe it will give him time with his knee, DeCastro said. The more time after surgery, the more time you have (to heal). Hes a dominant player. Its going to hurt, but hopefully well have him for the back stretch.Game notesThe Steelers placed tight end Ladarius Green (ankle) and wide receiver Shakim Phillips (sports hernia) on the Physically Unable to Perform list. There is no timetable for Green -- signed as a free agent following Heath Millers retirement in February -- to return. Green also sat out minicamp and OTAs. Tomlin praised Greens ability to stay engaged despite being on the sideline, but allowed theres no substitute for playing and getting a feel for playing with Roethlisberger. ...
