The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have lost numerous key players. Chris Godwin, Mike Evans and Leonard Fournette are all out.
So, Bruce Arians & Co. are shunning character and have added another character.
Assuming Le'Veon Bell passes his physical Wednesday, the #Bucs will sign him to the 53-man roster. Now in line to back up Ronald Jones with Leonard Fournette banged up. https://t.co/4g6JdAvb0W

They are reuniting Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell.
Yes, the former Pittsburgh Steelers are together again in the Sunshine State.
What makes this interesting is both Brown and Bell are problem children.
Arians decided to bring Brown back to the team after his league-mandated suspension for a false vaccination card.
And Tuesday comes news the team will add Bell to the mix.
Since leaving Pittsburgh, Bell has played for the New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens, failing to recreate the success he had in Pittsburgh.
Brown and Bell were a powerful punch from 2013-17 in Pittsburgh.
Bell rushed for 5,336 yards and 35 touchdowns over that span.
Brown, meanwhile, had 7,848 receiving yards in those five seasons with 67 touchdowns.
Whether they have that magic left after years of turmoil is going to be interesting and will play a huge role in the rest of the Bucs’ season.
