Martavis Bryant confident he'll be reinstated soon

Are the Steelers adding a secret weapon in their quest to catch up to the Patriots as an AFC superpower?

Appearing on Thursday's edition of Up to the Minute Live, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that suspended wide receiver Martavis Bryant believes he will soon be returning to Pittsburgh.

"When you speak to people close to him," Rapoport said, "they are confident that in the near future he will get word that he has been reinstated to the NFL."

Bryant is awaiting confirmation from Commissioner Roger Goodell after applying for reinstatement in mid-January.
