The NFL lifted Bledsoe's suspension Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Bledsoe was suspended for the first 17 weeks of the season Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Bledsoe violated the league's policy on performance enhancing drugs. This is his second violation, as the 25-year-old was suspended for the same reason last season. He has not been on an NFL roster since he spent time with the Titans back in 2021.

Bledsoe was suspended for six games in February after violating the league's PED policy. The 24-year-old appeared in five games for the Titans last season and is currently a free agent, but he may have an easier time finding a new team now that he is eligible to play.
