According to CBS Sports sideline reporter Evan Washburn, Bell couldn't put weight on his leg as he stood on the sidelines being evaluated, and took a cart to the locker room.

The Steelers announced that Bell was being evaluated outside the stadium and won't return to the game. After the game, CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora tweeted this:
