Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant faces a one-year suspension for again violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, his agent confirmed to the Post-Gazette today.
Bryant, suspended by the league for the first four games last season after violating the policy, has appealed the latest suspension, said Thomas Santanello, his agent.
Bryant learned about the possible one-year suspension this week. DKPittsburghSports first broke the news today.
“They want to suspend him for a year and right now it’s under appeal,’’ Santanello told the PG. “I don’t have all the information yet.”
Bryant, a 2014 third-round draft pick from Clemson, caught 50 passes for 765 yards and six touchdowns last season after missing the first four games because of his suspension and a fifth because the Steelers deemed him not yet ready to play to open the season.
