Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant is eligible to play for the first time this year after serving a four-game suspension, but it's unclear if he'll be able to make his debut as expected.

The dynamic second-year wideout only appears to have practiced with his teammates once this week, leaving his status for Monday night's game against the San Diego Chargers in question.

Bryant's official designation won't be released until after Saturday's team session, but it's unlikely that he'd be given any sort of significant role without first getting a considerable amount of practice reps under his belt.

Darrius Heyward-Bey and Markus Wheaton will continue to see snaps with the first-team offense alongside Antonio Brown until Bryant officially makes his long-awaited return to game action.
