The Facts: Bryant is facing a year-long suspension for his latest violation of the NFL's substance-abuse policy, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Diehards Line: The NFL is reviewing the matter and could issue its ruling as early as this week. With this potentially being Bryant's third suspension in four years, it could mark the end of his NFL career. It would be a challenge for Bryant,who was released by the Raiders, to return from another suspension, though he will be entitled to counseling from the NFL Players Association. We'll follow up as needed.
