Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant reportedly is facing a four-game suspension.

The punishment is for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy, league sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Thursday. Bryant is appealing, Schefter reported.

Bryant, a fourth-round pick by the Steelers last year, caught 26 passes for 549 yards and eight touchdowns in 10 games.
