Le'Veon Bell has returned to Pittsburgh.
I mean, maybe not in an official football capacity, but Bell is literally back in the Steel City.
Early Friday morning, Bell posted the following video to his Instagram story, showing himself and a group of friends at Mike & Tony's Gyros in the South Side:
One Twitter user confirmed the interaction, while Mike & Tony's reposted the video to their Instagram as well, thanking Bell for his business:
Le’veon Bell just brought me and some other people gyros on the south , why is he here ?

Usually, longtime observers of the Steelers will note, bad things happen when athletes stay out late in the South Side. This time, though? Bell and his friends just seemed a little loud and intoxicated and having a good time. No harm done.
But, of course, Twitter had its fun, and speculation ran wild about Bell's return. Does this mean he's coming back to the Steelers? It obviously does, right? There's no way he simply has friends or family in the city, of course:
Just come back home?

And while plenty of users wanted Bell back with the Steelers ASAP, there were also those who wanted no part of it, no matter how happy those dang gyros made him and his crew.
Nope. Vastly overrated at this point.

Right now, the Steelers have more pressing issues with their current salary cap and roster decisions. They need to figure out what they're going to do with unrestricted free agents Bud Dupree, Javon Hargrave, B.J. Finney, Tyler Matakevich and Kameron Canaday. There's also a trio of key restricted free agents — Matt Feiler, Zach Banner and Mike Hilton — that require the team's attention.
Something tells me the Steelers aren't too worried about Bell and his gyro addiction right now — although something also tells me the team could use him on the field.
