Bell appeared in five games with Baltimore after signing to their practice squad on Sep. 7 and has vacillated between the team’s practice squad and active roster at several points in the last two months.
In his tweet, he thanked Ravens’ coach John Harbaugh and said he got a new appreciation for a city where he played in five times as an opponent, most notably with the Steelers.

During his time playing for John Harbaugh, Bell amassed 31 carries for 87 yards (2.7 yards per attempt) and two touchdowns. And despite the Ravens’ thin running back room, Bell was never able to carve out a role as a feature back, never playing more than 42 percent of the team’s offensive snaps and he averaged just 23.6 snaps per game.
The 29-year-old was no stranger to playing in M&T Bank Stadium during his time with the Steelers, where he was a two-time All-Pro. In four road games during his tenure in Pittsburgh, he averaged 72.5 yards and notched three rushing touchdowns.
