The Washington Commanders have signed wide receiver Martavis Bryant, who has not played in the NFL since 2018, when he had his third substance abuse violation.
Washington released kicker Ramiz Ahmed on Tuesday to free up a roster spot and give Bryant another chance to return.
The Dallas Cowboys released Bryant in May after he was on their practice squad last season.
The 32-year-old played his final game on Nov. 11, 2018, for Oakland before the franchise moved to Las Vegas.
Pittsburgh drafted Bryant out of Clemson in the fourth round a decade ago and he had eight touchdown receptions in 10 games as a rookie.
Just before the start of his second season, he was suspended for the first time in three consecutive seasons for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. He returned from the suspension in 2015 and posted a career-high 765 receiving yards in 10 games.
Bryant was banned from the league during the 2016 season and played 15 games for the Steelers in 2017 before being traded to the Raiders in the off-season.
