Disgruntled receiver Martavis Bryant was back working with the Pittsburgh Steelers' first-team offense at practice Monday and he will slot back into the lineup when the team faces the Indianapolis Colts in Week 10.

Bryant was benched in the Steelers' last game before their Week 9 bye for social-media outbursts due to his low usage. Head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters he plans to play the fourth-year pro on Sunday.

"He did a nice job of dealing with the suspension and working hard at his craft," Tomlin said, according to Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Network.

"He just came to work with a good attitude, like everyone else," Tomlin added, Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Bryant ranks fifth on the team in catches with 18 and third in receiving yards with 234. He has been passed on the depth chart by ascending rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster, who has 24 catches for 424 yards and four touchdowns.
