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 the Pittsburgh Steelers running back 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 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 the fifth-year tight end was contemplating retirement.Im wondering who said this, Green said. Im only 26, so I dont think Im going to retire any time soon.Green said theres no timetable for his return. Green admits hes frustrated, but hes confident that he will play this season as he continues to rehabilitate his ankle and workout on adjoining practice fields.Ive still been rehabbing my ankle, Green said. I havent been dealing with anything else but that.Game notes Quarterback Dustin Vaughan suffered a fractured bone on his throwing hand during a sack in the second preseason game against the Eagles. ...

Conor McGregor is all in when it comes to a welterweight rematch against Nate Diaz at UFC 202 on Aug. 20 in Las Vegas -- in more ways than one.In addition to mental and physical demands, McGregor (19-3) estimates hes spent $300,000 during preparations for the fight.The Irish star suffered the first loss of his UFC career in March, submitting to a rear-naked choke from Diaz in the second round. Rather than return to defend his featherweight title, which he still holds, McGregor demanded an immediate rematch against Diaz.Preparations have taken place in Dublin, Iceland and Las Vegas. The 27-year-old has been relatively isolated in the desert since early July. Doing so, with a full camp, has not been cheap.With gyms, cars, transport, flights, accommodations -- Id estimate were talking a $300,000 camp here, McGregor told ESPN.This is a big, big expense -- but what I make is big. So, in the bigger picture, its rather small.McGregors reported purse to the Nevada State Athletic Commission for UFC 196 was $1 million, although he makes much more in undisclosed pay-per-view bonuses.In addition to head coach John Kavanagh and coach Owen Roddy, McGregor has employed a masseuse, a performance coach, a movement coach, a nutritionist and various sparring partners for this recent camp.Grappling partner Dillon Danis, from New York, was flown to Dublin, then Las Vegas.

It was last sold for $2.5 million.This is most certainly not another fight, McGregor said. I have done things differently this fight. We have been going to war every single day in the gym in preparation for this. So, this is a war to me.Previously, McGregor has not trained so opponent-specific -- mostly because his opponent often changes right before a fight.In eight UFC appearances, four of McGregors originally scheduled opponents have pulled out due to injury. Two of the four, featherweight Jose Aldo at UFC 189 and lightweight Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 196, pulled out ahead of championship fights.But McGregor said he never worried about Diaz (19-10) pulling out -- so, he didnt mind investing heavily in a camp tailored to him.I do not recall him pulling out of a contest before, McGregor said. Im just able to tell things sometimes. So, I feel he will be there and thats it.Im very happy with that. Its a nice feeling for a change. Ive never had that. They always pull. They always have. Its nice to have this feeling that the man will show up. The man Im set to face will be there. So, the preparation has been there. ' ' '
