Pittsburgh Steelers?running back LeVeon Bells suspension for missing league-mandated drug tests has been reduced to three games.The NFL announced Bells three-game suspension Friday, saying the former Pro Bowler violated the leagues substance-abuse policy.Bells suspension was reduced from its initial length of four games as a result of a negotiated settlement between the NFL and the players union, a source told ESPNs Dan Graziano.Also, as part of the settlement, Bell remains in his current stage of the NFLs drug program rather than advancing to the next one, the source told Graziano. The missed drug tests were found to be the result of a travel issue, and Bell did not inform the tester of his travel plans, according to the source.In a video that was removed from his Twitter feed shortly after posting, Bell apologized to his teammates and to Steelers fans.I put the blame on myself, Bell said. After this whole situation is done, youll get a better person and a better player out of it.Bell also posted an apology on his Instagram account that he later deleted.Im not the perfect person, Bell said. Im not going to say I act like a perfect person. I make mistakes. I want to apologize for everything I put you guys through the last couple years. Its been a frustrating run for you. Its been a frustrating run for me.Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said in a statement that the team is disappointed in Bell, who was suspended two games last season following an August 2014 arrest for marijuana possession and a charge of DUI in August 2014 in the Pittsburgh area.We will continue to support LeVeon, but we acknowledge this mistake has put the team in an unfortunate position, Colbert said. We will continue to work with LeVeon to help him eliminate distractions in his life so he can reach his full potential as a member of our community as well as a player for the Pittsburgh Steelers.Bell, who practiced throughout training camp coming off reconstructive knee surgery, had faced the cloud of an NFL suspension for the second consecutive year. He sat out the first two games of the 2015 season as punishment for his arrest in August 2014 on DUI and marijuana possession charges following a traffic stop. Bell was originally suspended three games before it was reduced on appeal.He declined comment on the appeal process during training camp but said Tuesday he appreciated the support from teammates who took the wait-and-see approach.Offensive coordinator Todd Haley, for example, called Bell an energy giver who endeared himself to the team quickly.There was a sense of optimism from the Steelers during training camp, with one team source saying Bells story for missing tests was much better than his changing his cellphone number, a popular rumor that circulated online.Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Bells looming appeal hadnt affected his game plan. Running back DeAngelo Williams -- who last season rushed for 907 yards and 11 touchdowns in Bells absence -- is set to miss his second consecutive preseason game next weekend. Third-stringer?Fitzgerald Toussaint?is expected to take the first-team reps.Bell will be eligible to return to the active roster Sept. 26, before the teams Week 4 home game against Kansas City. He will miss the season opener at Washington, the first home game against Cincinnati and the next game at Philadelphia.Bell said in the Instagram post he never purposefully missed or failed any drug test.They tried to test me in December and January and I missed those tests, Bell said. I couldnt get to the facility and get tested. They couldnt come to me and get tested. Thats on me. I put blame on myself.Bell added that he was supposed to get tested again in April and overslept.I ended up missing the test, Bell said. I was sleeping and thats on me. I cant blame anybody else for missing my test. I just want everybody to understand I never tried to purposefully avoid or evade any test.The 24-year-old All-Pro running back is entering the final season of his rookie contract.Since 2013, Bell has averaged 119 yards from scrimmage per game, the NFLs best among running backs.Bell finished second in the league with 1,361 yards rushing and 2,215 all-purpose rushing and receiving yards in 2014. He rushed for 556 yards and three touchdowns and caught 24 passes for 136 yards in 2015 before tearing the MCL and PCL in his right knee when Cincinnati linebacker Vontaze Burfict dragged him to the ground in November.Bell hasnt played in a preseason game, but has fully participated in training camp practices, showing the ability to take hits and sharply cut on his injured knee. Bell will be able to participate in training camp practices and the final two preseason games before the suspension begins.Pittsburgh finished third in total yards and fourth in scoring in 2015 while going 11-7 and losing to Denver in the AFC divisional round. The Steelers are already without wide receiver Martavis Bryant, who will miss the entire season after he was suspended in March for a second violation of the leagues substance abuse policy.Williams will fill in as the teams starting running back with Bell out of the lineup.ESPNs Adam Schefter and Jeremy Fowler and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

PHOENIX -- Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin sat at his desk with a dazed look on his face, not sure what to say after a wild game that included 32 hits, 17 runs, great plays and bizarre sequences.You guys bring it up; I dont remember half the stuff that happened, Mackanin said after the Phillies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-8 in 10 innings Wednesday to complete their first sweep at Chase Field in 10 years.Philadelphia scored two runs in the ninth to beat the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night and needed another rally to set up the sweep.Arizona went ahead 7-4 in the seventh inning on Paul Goldschmidts two-run double, but the Phillies scored four times in the eighth to go up 8-7.The Diamondbacks fought back in the bottom half, tying it on Jean Seguras infield single, but allowed Jeanmar Gomez (3-2) to escape a jam in the ninth.Peter Bourjos, who earlier had a two-run homer, hit a two-out single off Silvino Bracho (0-2) in the 10th and moved to third on Cody Asches single. Pinch-hitter Tyler Goeddel followed with a line drive to right field for a sacrifice fly and the go-ahead run.Brett Oberholtzer gave up a one-out single in the 10th, but got the final two outs for his first career save.Asche had three RBI, Cesar Hernandez finished with four of Philadelphias 17 hits and the Phillies won for the fourth time in five games.When we left Philly, we became a different team, Mackanin said. Im hoping we can take this momentum and build on it.The Diamondbacks are looking for some way, any way, to win at home.Arizona went 7-3 on a road trip that included a sweep of the Phillies, but returned home to lose three straight, dropping to 13-28 at Chase Field.Jake Lamb hit a three-run homer and Segura had two RBI for Arizona, which piled up 15 hits.We felt really good coming home from the road trip, the way we were playing, Diamondbacks starter Archie Bradley said. We are still grinding. We are still trying to put it together.Phillies starter Zach Eflin struggled early before settling into a rhythm.Lamb, who hit a solo homer Tuesday, hit his ninth home run in June in the first inning off the rookie right-hander, a three-run shot to center.Segura added a sacrificce fly in the second inning, but Eflin retired 10 of the next 11 batters.dddddddddddd.Eflin allowed four runs -- three earned -- on six hits and struck out three in six innings.I felt good, he said. After the first and second innings, I was really locked in, pitching inside and keeping them guessing.Bradley was sharp in his previous two starts, allowing a run in 11 innings.The right-hander gave up more than that in the first inning against the Phillies, when Bourjos hit a towering, two-run homer to left.Eflin hit a leadoff double against Bradley in the fifth inning for his first big league hit and later scored his first run on Asches double that pulled Philadelphia to 4-3.Bradley allowed three runs on eight hits and struck out four in six innings.Minus the first two batters of the game, he said, I was able to settle in and get through six and leave with us having the lead.NUMBERSSeven of Lambs last nine homers have either tied the game or put Arizona ahead. ...
