Dez Bryant on Ravens Practice Squad Would Be Great Comeback Story

Ian Rapoport is fresh off his suspension from NFL Network for doing an unauthorized Manscaped ad on Instagram — as we’ve said, he was excessively punished. But he hasn’t missed a beat, reporting today that, with a successful workout and physical, Dez Bryant will join the Baltimore Ravens practice squad:

The #Ravens plan to sign veteran WR Dez Bryant to the practice squad if his workout goes well and he passes a physical, source said. Baltimore previously worked out Bryant in August, so this is more of a check-in. He should land in Baltimore, finally.

Bryant, 31, was released from the Cowboys in the 2018 offseason. He signed with the Saints mid-season that year but tore his Achilles in practice before he made it onto the field.

There are many steps still to go, but it’s a positive sign in Bryant’s comeback attempt. If he can make it back into a live game some day, the story will be even better.
