PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers running back LeVeon Bell is ready to serve his suspension and move on.Bell spoke on Saturday, one day after the NFL suspended him for the first three games of the regular season for missing multiple drug tests, which is a violation of the leagues substance abuse policy.I already apologized to my teammates, my coaches and Steeler Nation, Bell said. Im sincerely sorry about everything I put everybody through. Its been frustrating, and I own up to everything. Its all my fault, and I cant blame nobody else for that.Bell stood by a now-deleted post to his Instagram account he put up on Friday, offering an apology shortly after the suspension was announced. He initially faced a four-game suspension, but it was reduced to three games following an appeal to the league.Bell will be eligible to return to the active roster Sept. 26 before the teams Week 4 home game against Kansas City.Im glad they shaved a little bit of time off, Bell said. The sooner I can get on the field, the better.This is the second time Bell has faced discipline from the league. 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.It [stinks] to keep having to miss time, Bell said. I want to play football and be out there with my teammates. I accept the suspension. I just have to learn from this and move on.Bell said he feels the experience will help him moving forward.I think this is going to help me be a better person, a better player, and obviously smarter, Bell said. Its definitely a learning experience. Im not the perfect person. I didnt do everything right, but I didnt do everything wrong either.Rumors initially surfaced about Bells suspension during the teams June minicamp. He declined to get into specifics when the Steelers opened training camp as additional information circulated about the case. Bell said he doesnt let those rumors bother him.I just let everybody say what they want to say, Bell said. People who say I smoke weed, thats fine. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. The people who know me know the person I am.While Bell is scheduled to return in Week 4, the Steelers arent sure when tight end Ladarius Green will be back.Green, the Steelers biggest free-agent signing in the offseason, is on the physically unable to perform list because of offseason ankle surgery. On Saturday, Green denied multiple recent reports that he was suffering from recurring headaches.I dont know what those reports are, Green said. I heard about it, but I didnt look at it. Im still on PUP because of my ankle.There were also reports suggesting the Steelers could release Green or that he was contemplating retirement.Im wondering who said this, said Green, who enters his fifth season. Im only 26, so I dont think Im going to retire anytime soon.Green said theres no timetable for his return. He admits hes frustrated, but hes confident that he will play this season as he continues to rehabilitate his ankle and work out on adjoining practice fields.Ive still been rehabbing my ankle, Green said. I havent been dealing with anything else but that.In other news, quarterback Dustin Vaughan suffered a fractured bone on his throwing hand during a sack in the second preseason game Thursday against the Eagles.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Max Verstappen set the fastest time in final practice for the U.S. Grand Prix as both Mercedes drivers failed to post a representative lap time.Verstappens best lap of 1:36.766 was 0.226s clear of Red Bull teammate Daniel Ricciardo in second and nearly 0.6s quicker than Nico Rosbergs best effort from Friday practice. Rosberg attempted a quick lap on the super-soft tyres at the end of FP3 and was only marginally slower than Verstappen through the first two sectors, but bailed out in sector three just as he came across a Haas on a slow lap.Hamilton did not emerge for his qualifying simulation until the final two minutes of the session, meaning he had to rush his out-lap on the delicate super-soft tyres. He just crossed the line before the chequered flag came out but caught up with Saubers Felipe Nasr in the final sector and also abandoned his lap.Verstappen and Ricciardo set their super-soft laps earlier in the session, with Verstappen finding the vast majority of his time over Ricciardo in the middle sector. Ricciardo attempted a second lap on the same set of tyres, but came across Kimi Raikkonen in the Esses and had to mount a kerb to avoid the Ferrari.Raikkonen finished the session third fastest, 0.518s off the pace, but his fastest lap was set after running wide at the penultimate corner. Ferrari teammate Sebastian Vettel failed to set a representative time after he was limiteed to just eight laps with gearbox trouble.ddddddddddddico Hulkenberg was seventh fastest for Force India and looks set to be in a close battle with Williams Valtteri Bottas to be best of the rest behind the top three teams in qualifying. The McLarens both made it into the top ten, with Jenson Button 0.240s ahead of teammate Fernando Alonso.Sergio Perez was 11th fastest in the second Force India ahead of an impressive lap from Renaults Jolyon Palmer in 12th. Felipe Massa was 13th after a wild hot lap in the Williams ahead, but was still quicker than the Toro Rossos of Daniil Kvyat and Carlos Sainz. Sainz experienced two punctures during the session - one on the rear left and one on the rear right - limiting him to just six laps.Haas made modest progress on its Friday practice performance with Esteban Gutierrez and Romain Grosjean in 16th and 17th ahead of the Renault of Kevin Magnussen and the two Saubers of Marcus Ericsson and Nasr.Esteban Ocon finished ahead of Manor teammate Pascal Wehrlein after the German spun 17 minutes into the session at the final corner and beached his car in the gravel. The session was red flagged for ten minutes while Wehrleins car was recovered, but he was able to rejoin the session for a series of laps on the super-soft tyres at the end. ' ' '
