PITTSBURGH -- LeVeon Bells rehab from a sprained foot includes an exercise that requires the Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back to pick up marbles with his toes. "Nothing crazy," Bell said with a laugh. And, apparently, nothing serious either. While Bell will sit out Saturday nights exhibition game against the Kansas City Chiefs with a sprained right foot, the second-round pick isnt worried about the injury extending well into the regular season. "Ive already been healing real quick," Bell said Thursday. "As long as the process keeps going the way it is, I should be back pretty quick." Coach Mike Tomlin declined to put an exact timetable on Bells return but pointed to the fact surgery will not be required as an encouraging sign. Less than 72 hours after going down in the first quarter of a 24-13 loss to Washington, Bell can already put weight on it, though he did wear a walking boot into the locker room as a precaution. It beats the cast being worn by tight end Matt Spaeth, who is dealing with a more significant version of the same injury. Spaeth is out at least two months after tearing the Lisfranc ligament in his left foot. There are no such concerns for Bell, though the 48th overall pick in the draft is a bit mystified about his bumpy training camp. The 21-year-old was a workhorse last fall at Michigan State, leading the nation with 383 carries. His durability is one of the main reasons the Steelers drafted him as the heir apparent to replace departed Rashard Mendenhall. Instead hell watch from the sidelines for the second time in three weeks while Jonathan Dwyer and Isaac Redman attempt to hold onto the starting job, at least temporarily. "It gets a little frustrating at times," Bell said. "Its something Im faced with. Ill fight through it." Just dont expect him to race through it. Though Tomlin called all signs around Bells prognosis "positive" hes not going to rush Bell out onto the field just to do it. "We dont have a long-range schedule," Tomlin said. "At this point, well treat it conservatively with rehabilitation." Its the correct diagnosis, even if its not one Bell wants to hear. He averaged more than 30 touches a game during his last two seasons at Michigan State, touching the ball an average of 23 times a game. Outside of the usual aches and pains, hes never had so much as an ingrown toenail. Now hes dealing with his third issues in as many weeks. He skipped the preseason opener against the New York Giants as a precaution after tweaking his left knee in practice. He aggravated the injury in practice but recovered in time to make his professional debut. It was one that turned into little more than an extended cameo. Bell carried four times for nine yards while working with the first team, his night ending shortly after he felt an opponent fall onto his leg while he was trying to push the pile forward. Bell remained in for one more play before heading to the sideline. When he took his cleats off, he couldnt even put his foot on the ground. An MRI revealed the sprain, though the Steelers sought out a second opinion to confirm that he wouldnt need surgery. "It was great news," Bell said. And a blessing of sorts. While stressing the knee was good enough to play against the Redskins, the downtime required by the sprained foot means the knee will be "100 per cent" whenever Bell is back on the practice field. "Its a long season," Bell said. "I would like to come back to where I can actually be able to play and not think about it. I want to make sure everythings comfortable so I can play the way I want to play." Dwyer, who ran for 68 yards on Monday night, will likely start against the Chiefs. Tomlin also held out hope that Isaac Redman will be ready to go after missing a week due to a stinger. The same goes for LaRod Stephens-Howling and the mild knee sprain that kept him out versus Washington. Whoever is in the backfield will be charged with getting the first team into the end zone. It hasnt happened yet, though Tomlin expects the starters to play a half -- if not more -- when Kansas City visits. ---- NOTES: Tight end Heath Miller, rehabbing from left knee surgery, remained noncommittal about when hell be able to return. Miller is currently on the physically unable to perform list but has shown significant progress during camp. ... CB Cortez Allen practiced on Thursday as he recovers from minor knee surgery. Allen said he remains "day to day," and isnt sure hell play on Saturday. Allen, slated to be the starting cornerback across from Ike Taylor, said his focus is being ready for the season opener against Tennessee Sept. 8. Nike Air Max Canada .

Cheap Air Max Canada .Y. - New York City has been selected to host the NBA All-Star weekend in 2015, with the game played at Madison Square Garden and the slam dunk contest and other skills events held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. NEW YORK -- One of the biggest indications of how inconsistent the New York Yankees have been is their inability get more than one game over .500.Since May 22, the Yankees have gone one game over .500 on two occasions only to slide back into wandering around and below the break-even mark.The Yankees will get their next chance at going two games over .500 Wednesday night when they continue a four-game series with the Baltimore Orioles.The Yankees (47-46) have won seven of their last 11 games and are 3-2 on a crucial homestand that many believe will determine their plans at the Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline.After getting to .500 with Mondays 2-1 win, New York went one game over for the first time since June 24 with Tuesdays 7-1 win. Starlin Castro homered for the first time in 22 games and drove in four runs while Nathan Eovaldi allowed one run in 5 1/3 innings and Anthony Swarzak highlighted 2 2/3 perfect innings by getting out of a bases-loaded jam in the sixth.The performances by Castro and Swarzak helped ensure New Yorks late-inning trio of hard-throwers Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman will be available for the final two games of the series.Since starting to hover around .500 in mid-May, the Yankees went one game at 31-30 following a 4-0 win over Detroit on June 10. New York then dropped four straight and did not get over .500 again until a 2-1 win over Minnesota left them at 37-36 on June 24.New York then lost seven of its next 11 before closing the All-Star break with three wins in Cleveland.Its been frustrating this year because weve been here so many times and we havent been able to break through for a number of different reasons, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Sometimes its been offense, sometimes its been pitching. It hasnt just been one reason but its been frustrating because I feel like if we can get over that mark, we can build on it.The last three wins have shaved Baltimores lead over the fourth-place Yankees to 6 1/2 games. It is the first time the Yankees trail by less than seven games since June 24.Baltimore has lost three straight for the second time this month. The Orioles also lost their first four games of July as part of a five-game losing streak.The Orioles offense is batting .268. During their first five games, the Orioles are batting .193 (31-for-161).We dont say, well this is just que sera, something that comes about, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.dddddddddddd You cant live in that world. Were better than that. I know our guys are frustrated but you also got to tip your hat to their pitching.Since the break, Adam Jones is 3-for-20, Manny Machado is 2-for-17 and Mark Trumbo is 4-for-19. The Orioles have played the last two games without first baseman Chris Davis (stomach virus) and also played Tuesday without Matt Wieters (sore right foot).Both might play Wednesday but losing while shorthanded is not an excuse for the Orioles.Weve been without people all year just like the Yankees have and just like everybody has, Showalter said. Its part of the gig. You dont stomach it and find an excuse. We dont live in those worlds.After getting effective outings from Masahiro Tanaka, Ivan Nova and Nathan Eovaldi, the Yankees will send Michael Pineda (3-9, 5.56) to the mound. The Yankees will hope Pineda has better fastball command this time around after allowing three home runs in 5 2/3 innings to the Boston Red Sox in Fridays 5-3 loss.Theyve all done a good job and it needs to start over with Michael tomorrow, Girardi said. Thats how you put long streaks together.Pineda is winless in his last six starts and Fridays loss dropped him to 0-3 with a 4.46 ERA in those outings.The right-hander has defined inconsistency by allowing two earned runs or less in eight starts and five runs or more in seven other outings.Pineda has not faced the Orioles this season and is 3-2 with a 4.10 ERA in nine outings against Baltimore. In New York, he is 2-0 with a 1.98 ERA in four matchups against the Orioles, including a career-high 16 strikeout game May 10, 2015.Yovani Gallardo will get the start for Baltimore and will make his seventh start since returning from missing two months due to a right shoulder injury. Since returning June 18, Gallardo is 2-0 with a 6.04 ERA and, in those starts, the Orioles have averaged 5.6 runs per game.Gallardo is 1-1 with a 5.60 ERA in three starts against the Yankees. He last played New York at Yankee Stadium May 24, 2015 for the Texas Rangers when he allowed two runs and four hits over six innings during a 5-2 win. ' ' '
