PITTSBURGH -- The NFL on Friday cleared Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Martavis Bryant to participate in regular season practices and games.
Bryant was under conditional reinstatement after missing the entire 2016 season for multiple drug violations. Bryant missed two weeks of training camp practices while awaiting preseason clearance, which came Aug. 9. Bryant maintained he expected to get full reinstatement for the season by continuing to pass his drug tests.
Bryant - the explosive playmaker who has 15 touchdowns in 21 regular season games - says he's quit smoking marijuana, a habit that cost him 20 games since being drafted in the fourth round in 2014.
