Bryant being reinstated today is huge. Can't wait to see him participate in practice this week and maybe some game action next week!!
It's about time!!!
This is still not over....
Martavis Bryant has been informed by the NFL that he is now permitted to participate in all preseason activities, including practices and games. He will continue to be evaluated as to his readiness to participate in regular-season activities under the terms of his conditional reinstatement.

It's being reported he has been cleared for preseason games and practices, not yet for regular season games. They should just fully reinstate him already and stop dragging this out as much as possible
He'll be there week 1, not worried about that. The NFL are just being douchebags.
If Bryant can't play in week 1 against the Browns, Goodell will deserve to have a punch in the face!
Who knows, maybe by next week, he'll be cleared to play week 1 and the first half of week 2
"We're going to put our foot on the gas and proceed," said coach Mike Tomlin to KDKA-TV at halftime of the Giants game. "He's physically ready. We've gotten the go-ahead from New York [NFL office]. We got him in a stringent workout and warm-up tonight. We didn't deem it was appropriate because of lack of prep to play in this game. He'll start like the rest of them when we get back to Latrobe and continue with development."

Bryant was allowed to work out with the Steelers during offseason training activities and minicamp, but he was not allowed to participate in training camp until he had complied with requirements to set up out-patient counseling and treatment. He spent the first two weeks of training camp at Saint Vincent College working out in a shorts and catching passes from a team aide on an adjacent field.
“Honestly, I had nothing to do with that,” Bryant said when asked about the sessions. “My agent, Kevin Colbert and Mr. [Art] Rooney [II] were talking to the league about it so whatever needs to get done they are going to make sure I do it. I’m just happy the process is going smoothly for me.”

Steelers LB Arthur Moats says Martavis Bryant had an extra gear in his first practice back.
Cockrell vs Bryant is a bigger mismatch than Cockrell vs Brown ...
Brown is not nearly as fast as Bryant and Brown is to fast for Cockrell
Nope. Not at all. Let's go back a few years and look at what has happened.
2000. Larry Webster suspended indefinitely (although later reinstated). This was after a 6 game suspension in 1995 and a year long suspension in 1996.
2002. Dale Carter suspended indefinitely after being suspended indefinitely and then reinstated in 2000.
2004. Darrell Russell suspended indefinitely after being suspended an entire season in 2002.
2008. Odell Thurman was suspended indefinitely after being suspended for the 2006 and 2007 seasons.
2008. Travis Henry suspended indefinitely after being suspended 4 games in 2005
2010. Johnny Jolly suspended indefinitely. 2011, arrested for drugs and sentenced to 6 years in jail.
2010. Tanard Jackson suspended indefinitely after four game suspension. He was reinstated. Suspended indefinitely again in 2012. Reinstated in 2014. Suspended indefinitely again in 2014.
2013. In Nov., Justin Blackmon suspended indefinitely after 4 game suspension in April of 2013.
2014. Fred Davis suspended indefinitely after 4 game suspension in 2011.
2015. Trey Watts, Nov. Indefinite suspension after 4 game suspension in May 2015.
2015. LaRon Landry, indefinite suspension after 4 game suspension in 2014.
2016. Silas Redd indefinite suspension after 4 game suspension in 2015.
2016 November, Sammie Hill indefinite suspension after 4 game suspension in Aug. 2016.
2016. Roland McClain, indefinite suspension after 16 game suspension a month earlier.
On top of that, you have players like Josh Gordon who was suspended an entire season, twice. Lesson to be learned? Repeat offenders repeat offenses. What the NFL is doing right now is the best way to stop Bryant from becoming another “indefinite.” Honestly, we should be thanking the league, because they’re doing everything possible to assure he stays in it.
The most consistent possible, not disappear during some games.
