National Football League bans Steelers' Bryant for a year
The National Football League slapped Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant on Monday with a one year suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
Bryant was suspended for the first four games of the 2015 regular season for a similar offence.
In 11 games last season, the former fourth-round draft pick caught 50 passes for 765 yards and six touchdowns.
Bryant has 76 catches for 1,314 yards and 14 touchdowns in 21 regular-season NFL games, and 19 catches for 244 yards and two touchdowns in three playoff games.
He was scheduled to make $600,000 this season.
