PITTSBURGH — This article originally appeared on SteelersNOW.com.

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cam Sutton has been reinstated from his eight-game suspension, the NFL announced on Tuesday.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who doled out Sutton’s suspension, has granted the Steelers a roster exemption for him that runs through Monday, Nov. 4, so he will not immediately count against the 53-man roster.

The Steelers are on a bye this week, so Sutton’s exemption will likely only cover one practice on Wednesday. The team will be off Thursday through Sunday and have a second bye practice on Monday before their Week 10 work begins next Wednesday.
