Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant faces a one-year suspension, ESPN reported Saturday.

According to the report, Bryant’s agent confirmed the suspension. A source told ESPN that the ban was related to a drug test.

DKPittsburghSports.com first reported the possible suspension earlier in the day.

Bryant was suspended for four games last year for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. In 11 games, he made 50 catches for 765 yards with six touchdowns.
