It looks like the reinstatement of Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant is now imminent, as he has reportedly been cleared to return to the field for preseason activities.

Bryant was suspended for the entire 2016 season after repeatedly violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy.

The Steelers have long expected that Bryant would be reinstated by the NFL. And early on Wednesday, one report suggested that it could happen within the matter of days.

Bryant, 25, remains one of the most-talented young receivers in the game.

Prior to last season, the former mid-round pick from Clemson hauled in 76 receptions for 1,314 yards and 14 touchdowns in his first two NFL seasons.
