With a knee injury putting the status of star running back Le'Veon Bell up in the air, the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to the free-agent market ahead of Saturday's playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, free-agent running back Ben Tate is visiting the team Monday and could be signed if all goes well.

Tate's struggles have seen him released from both the Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings this season, but the talent he demonstrated during his time with the Houston Texans the three years prior makes him worth a look.

The 26-year-old would be in for a fairly significant workload Saturday if he's signed and Bell is unable to play.
