Explaining The ‘Conditional’ In Martavis Bryant’s Conditional Reinstatement

Related Topics: Martavis Bryant, Relapse

It’s highly unlikely that you are reading this article without already having heard that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant was ‘reinstated’ following an indefinite suspension that ultimately lasted about 13 months since March of last year. What you may not be up to speed on is just what the ‘conditional’ part of his conditional reinstatement means.

I might liken it to being on parole, though I admit it’s not a perfect analogy. While I’m not 100 percent certain, I’m under the impression that any lapse of any kind between now and whenever he might be fully reinstated will result in his being returned to being indefinitely suspended, which is what happened to Josh Gordon last year.
