Steelers WR Martavis Bryant suspended, will miss opener vs. Patriots

Another day, and another casualty for the Patriots vs. Steelers season opener. Today, it was reported that second year Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant will be suspended for four games due to violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. That suspension is still pending appeals.

Bryant joins fellow teammate Le’Veon Bell and Patriots offensive stars Tom Brady and LeGarrette Blount as players currently slated to miss week one due to suspension. Bryant emerged late in 2014 for the Steelers as a dynamic downfield target with eight touchdowns and 21.
