Martavis Bryant Suspended Indefinitely by NFL for Substance Abuse Violation

Oakland Raiders receiver Martavis Bryant has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL, according to the Mercury News' Matt Schneidman.

"Effective immediately, Martavis Bryant has been returned to the Reserve/Commissioner Suspended list indefinitely for violating the terms of his April 2017 conditional reinstatement under the Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse," the NFL said in a statement, per Schneidman.

Bryant landed on injured reserve earlier this month due to a PCL injury.

Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported in mid-June that the team feared a suspension was looming, believed to be for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
