Martavis Bryant appears to be reuniting with the Oakland Raiders.

The wide receiver and the Raiders are closing in on a one-year contract, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Bryant is also expected to play in the team's Week 2 matchup against the Denver Broncos, Pelissero added.

"I am just thankful and happy and excited for this weekend and the opportunity to take care of my family - it will be not be taken for granted," Bryant told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Oakland released Bryant Sept. 1 amid reports that he would be facing another year-long suspension for a failed drug test, but an NFL ruling has yet to be announced.

The 26-year-old receiver has already been suspended three times for violating the league's substance abuse policy. He missed the 2016 season because of a year-long ban before earning reinstatement ahead of the 2017 campaign.
