Raiders’ Bryant hit with indefinite ban

Raiders receiver Martavis Bryant has been suspended indefinitely for violating the NFL policy on substance abuse.

The NFL announced Friday that Bryant has violated the terms of his conditional reinstatement in April 2017 and has been placed back on the suspended list.

Bryant is currently on injured reserve with a knee injury. The Raiders traded a third-round pick to the Steelers for Bryant during the draft. They cut him Sept. 1 and then brought him back later that month. He had 19 catches for 266 yards in eight games.

Fralic dead at 56: Bill Fralic, the burly, bruising and athletic offensive lineman who starred for the Falcons and was a three-time allAmerican at Pittsburgh, died Thursday. He was 56.

The school said Fralic had cancer and died at his home in suburban Atlanta.

Fralic was the first offensive lineman to finish in the top 10 in Heisman Trophy balloting — finishing eighth in 1983 and sixth in 1984.

The Falcons selected Fralic with the second overall pick in the 1985 draft.

No surgery for Wentz: Carson Wentz’s back injury means Nick Foles gets another opportunity to rescue the Eagles.

Eagles coach Doug Pederson said Wentz does not require surgery for a stress fracture in his back and the injury could take up to three months to heal. The quarterback is listed as “doubtful” for Sunday night’s game Texans (9-4) at Jets (4-9)

Texans 28, Jets 24

Browns (5-7-1) at Broncos (6-7)

Browns 23, Broncos 21 against the Rams and is scheduled to travel with the team.

Pederson is optimistic about Wentz’s recovery.

“The fact that he doesn’t need surgery on this is the best news you could possibly have on anybody that has a stress fracture,” said Pederson, who wouldn’t rule Wentz out for Sunday or the rest of this season.
