Summary

Tuesday was a very busy day in the NFL.First, Le'Veon Bell did not show at the Pittsburgh Steelers' facility nor sign his franchise tender, thus making one of the league's most exciting running backs ineligible to play for the rest of the season.Next, with only a week to go before the league's marquee Monday night matchup pitting the Kansas City Chiefs against the Los Angeles Rams, concerns about field conditions in Mexico City forced the NFL to change venues and move the game to the LA Memorial Coliseum.Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson and Terez Paylor go around this busy day in the NFL starting with a behind-the-scenes account of how the league decided to move the Monday Night Football game from Mexico City to Los Angeles.After that, they break down the Le'Veon Bell news from many angles: how the Steelers feel, his possible landing spots next offseason and if we could see more players taking a "gap year."
