Report: NFL investigating injury status of Steelers' Bell before AFC game

PITTSBURGH — The National Football League is investigating whether or not the Pittsburgh Steelers properly listed Le'Veon Bell's groin injury prior to the AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots, according to ESPN.

Following the loss to the Patriots, Bell said he had been managing the injury for a few weeks, so the Steelers could be punished by the NFL for not disclosing the injury.

According to ESPN, the NFL is considering taking a second-round draft pick from the Seattle Seahawks for not reporting cornerback Richard Sherman's knee injury.
