The Facts: The Raiders and Bryant are close to one-year deal, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports. Pelissero adds that “barring any hiccup,” the Raiders plan to play Bryant this week.

Diehards Line: The Raiders called Bryant on Tuesday morning, and he arrived at the facility later in the day. Oakland traded a third-round draft pick to Pittsburgh for Bryant this offseason but cut him before the season opener. Reports have persisted that Bryant faces a possible suspension for another violation of the league’s substance abuse policy. But the league has not announced a suspension, allowing Bryant to sign a free agent contract.
