The Steelers officially activated wide receiver Martavis Bryant Tuesday following his four-game suspension and an extra week during which the team kept Bryant exempt from the active 53.
He injured his knee in his first practice back with the team last week, and though the Steelers didn’t have to list Bryant on their injury report last week because he wasn’t activated, the knee is the most likely reason he didn’t play Monday night in San Diego.
Safety and special teams player Ross Ventrone was released to clear a roster spot for Bryant.
Bryant spent part of his month-long suspension in Houston working with substance abuse counselor John Lucas.
