The Pittsburgh Steelers are benching Martavis Bryant for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions over his recent use of social media.

Bryant said he was relegated to scout-team work during Wednesday's practice. The receiver, who has vented multiple times about his role on social media, said that he's frustrated but will continue to play hard.

"I'm not going to hide how I feel," Bryant said. "What happened has happened."

The trade deadline is Oct 31, but the Steelers have made it clear that Bryant won't be made available.
