The Steelers were dealt another big setback Thursday: Wide receiver Martavis Bryant was suspended by the NFL for four games for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette confirmed. The suspension will begin with the Sept. 10 season opener in New England.
Bryant, a fourth-round draft choice in 2014, caught eight touchdowns and averaged 21.1 yards per catch in 10 games last season. He practiced with the team Thursday, which, like Bell, he is allowed to do leading up to the week before the start of the regular season.
He was not available for interviews in the locker room after practice, and several of his teammates said they were unaware of the situation. The Steelers could appeal the suspension.
The Steelers play the Buffalo Bills Saturday in Buffalo.
