Martavis Bryant, who was suspended for the 2016 season for violations of the NFL's substance abuse policy, applied for reinstatement with the league this week, according to Bryant's agent, Thomas Santanello.

Bryant will be subject to a meeting with commissioner Roger Goodell or his representative, along with a league medical advisor who will make a recommendation to Goodell based on the strength of the case.

The reinstatement process is designed to "enable the Commissioner to render a decision within 60 days of the receipt of the application," according to the league's Policy and Program on Substances of Abuse, but the process can take longer than that if necessary.

In recent months, Bryant underwent NFL-administered treatment while training and coaching local high school football in Henderson, Nevada.
