Report: Former Steelers WR Martavis Bryant applies for reinstatement

It is being reported Martavis Bryant is again seeking reinstatement to the NFL following his indefinite suspension on December 14th, 2018 for repeated violations of the NFL’s substance abuse policy. The report comes from Rudy Carpenter of Sirius XM NFL Radio.

The Steelers drafted Bryant with the 118th pick in the 2014 draft, and he made an impact that year with 549 yards and 8 TDs in 10 games on the active roster. Bryant would also face early trouble with the NFL’s stance on Marijuana. Bryant was suspended 4 games on August 27th, 2015 when he tested positive for Marijuana, as BTSC reported at the time, a 4-game suspension required 3 failed drug tests.
