Martavis Bryant Injury: Updates on Steelers WR's Elbow and Return

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant was back on the practice field on Tuesday following elbow surgery after missing multiple days of training camp with an infection.

Bryant was seen wearing his shoulder pads at Steelers practice, an indication he was ready for contact once again, according to Jacob Klinger of Pennlive.com. 

Bryant was unavailable for the Steelers' preseason opener in the Hall of Fame Game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. However, he was able to work out prior to the game and had his cast removed Saturday, per Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

On Aug. 2, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN passed along comments from Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, who said Bryant had a procedure to fix an infection and will miss "several days but not much more." On Aug. 1, FoxSports.com's Ross Jones reported Bryant was expected to be out for 10 days.

Bryant established himself as one of the league's best deep threats as a rookie in 2014. He averaged 21.1 yards per catch and had 549 total receiving yards and eight touchdowns, despite playing just 10 games.

The Steelers open the regular season Sept. 10 against the defending champion New England Patriots. They are already going to be without running back Le'Veon Bell for two games for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.
