Steelers' Martavis Bryant expected to be inactive in Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant was demoted to the scout team at Wednesday's practice, and has been told he will be inactive on Sunday.

What It Means:

Bryant hasn't been afraid to complain about his role in the Steelers offense, expressing frustration on social media and to the national media, while also missing mandatory meetings on Monday. The Steelers have apparently had enough, and Bryant won't play in Week 8. It's likely just a one-week punishment, but he could be on thin ice moving forward.

Through seven games, Bryant has just 18 receptions for 234 yards and 1 touchdown.
