Mike Tomlin insists Pittsburgh Steelers duo face punishment

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin reveals that he will not wait until the legal process concludes before handing out punishments to Le'Veon Bell and LaGarette Blount.

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has insisted that Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount will face swift disciplinary action after their marijuana charges.

The NFL have stated that they will wait until the legal process concludes before taking action, but Tomlin isn't prepared to delay in handing out punishments.

"You are going to have people who step outside the bounds of that and they're going to be dealt with swiftly and appropriately, more times than not in-house. But the bottom line is we don't approach that in a reactionary fashion," Tomlin said, NFL.com reports.

The Steelers coach has already revealed that the pair will play in the final pre-season game against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday as he believes that it would be more of a reward than punishment to sit them out.
