Another Steeler facing suspension for the opener.

Just saw on ESPN that Martavis Bryant is facing a 4 game suspension.

So no Bell, Pouncey, or Bryant week one. Will certainly help us on the defensive side of the ball.

hmmmm.....the possibility of a 1-game suspension is looking awfully tempting right now

@FantasyDouche: Martavis Bryant had 24% of the Steelers' receiving touchdowns on just 11% of the targets. http://t.co/wBUnpIqays

The healthy Steelers IMO are the second best offense in the NFL behind us (With the Nelson injury in mind for GB). We are getting a huge break week 1.

I could care less who is out there. It could be Bradshaw, Franco Harris and Lynn Swann and Mean Joe Green....

If Brady plays they win 45-10. If Grapes plays they win 38-17

Not for Brady.

If any of his teammates were generally aware of his PED use, they should get a 4 game suspension as well

Better yet, why not dock them a 1st round draft pick and charge them a 1 million dollars?

Ridiculous

I don't like this, I wanna see both teams in full strength for the opener.

The opening night game may have as many starters playing as will play in the fourth preseason game at this point. Each team could have 5-6 starters out two weeks from tonight at this rate.

Why? I always want my enemies as weak as possible.

Just having Bell out is a huge benefit... That dude is a monster. Brady would benefit so much with a player of his caliber in the backfield.

I root against injuries, but if they're going to have a bunch of guys suspended, I'm a-okay with that. All of them combined make less of an impact than Brady anyway.

Who would be shocked if this suspension is reduced to zero or delayed.......eh. BYW Remember that when you get suspended for 4 games, means that you have been caught at LEAST twice and probably 3 times.

...Or you were generally aware that Mother Nature reduced PSI levels in game balls on a cold wet day.

Or not getting caught but then not admitting you were doing anything and then switching to a new phone.

Good choice not to include receiving stats if you want to suggest those 2 are in the same universe as RBs

Blount is great but still is not the same level as Bell. Let's not kid ourselves here.
