Le’Veon Bell Disputes Jets Claims of Hamstring Tightness

The NFL regular season is really almost here.  How can I tell?  The back and forth between running back Le'Veon Bell and the New York Jets is heating back up.

The star running back was held out of a few snaps during a team scrimmage on Tuesday and the Jets claimed it was due to hamstring tightness.  Bell denied those claims.

He took to Twitter and denied that there was anything wrong with his hamstrings.  He then complained about having to stand around saying "I need to PRACTICE to be great in GAMES!!!"

Is this the year the Jets part ways with Bell?  It seems very likely, the season hasn't even kicked off yet and he's already complaining about playing time.

Grab the popcorn...
