The Oakland Raiders confirmed the re-signing of wide receiver Martavis Bryant on Wednesday.

Bryant reportedly signed a one-year deal to return to the Raiders after they released him at the start of September amid reports that he would be facing another year-long suspension for a failed drug test. Oakland traded a third-round pick for Bryant during April's draft.

While his status with the league remains unclear, he's reportedly expected to suit up in Week 2.

Bryant's return should boost a receiving corps that struggled in Oakland's season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Tight end Jared Cook led the team with 180 receiving yards, while top wideouts Amari Cooper and Jordy Nelson combined for just 32 yards on four catches.
