Veteran running back Le'Veon Bell has apparently been released by the Baltimore Ravens.
Bell, 29, indicated that his time in Baltimore has come to an end in a Tuesday social media post.
"this hurts, but it's been a blessing to be here to say the least," Bell said on Twitter.
"I appreciate Eric Decasta & John Harbaugh for the opportunity to be called an Raven."
The ninth-year veteran signed on with the Ravens on the eve of the regular season, following a spate of injuries affecting Baltimore's running back corps. Projected starter JK Dobbins and primary backup Gus Edwards both suffered season-ending injuries in the preseason.
But Bell saw little action with the Ravens, seemingly being surpassed on the depth chart by Saints castoff Latavius Murray, as well as fellow star of yesteryear Devonta Freeman. Bell recorded 31 carries for 83 yards and 1 catch for -1 yard in five games in Baltimore.
The unremarkable run continued Bell's steep falloff following his high-profile season-long holdout in his final year with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The two-time First-Team All-Pro lasted just a season-plus with the Jets after signing a lucrative free-agent deal with New York prior to 2019, coming on the heels of the 2018 holdout. He latched on with the Chiefs last season following his release by the Jets, averaging 4.0 yards per rush on 63 carries in nine games.
In two-plus seasons since the holdout, Bell has appeared in 31 games, logging 1,798 yards from scrimmage and 8 touchdowns on 441 touches.
The Ravens visit the Bears in Week 11.
