Bryant was elevated from the team's practice squad Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

That means Bryant is potentially set to play in his first NFL game since 2017. It remains to be seen what kind of role the veteran wide receiver might have in the offense or even where he ranks among a lackluster group of wide receivers.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was non-committal when asked Friday if Bryant would be promoted from the practice squad before Sunday's game against Indianapolis, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant has now spent a week and a half with the Ravens, so he should be ready to play soon if the team thinks he can contribute. He'll likely have a limited role if he does end up playing this week.

The Ravens officially added Bryant to their practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With his deal with Baltimore now official, the three-time Pro Bowl receiver becomes the most noteworthy practice squad player in the NFL. The 31-year-old Bryant hasn't made an NFL appearance since 2017, with a torn Achilles' tendon suffered in November 2018 forcing him to put his career on hold. Bryant has been back to full health for more than a year and was waiting for the right opportunity to emerge, and he appears to have identified one with Baltimore. The Ravens are expected to give him a long look in their practice sessions over the next few weeks before determining if he can provide an upgrade over some of their existing depth wideouts on the 53-man roster.

The Ravens plan to sign Bryant to their practice squad if his workout with the team goes well and his physical goes fine, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Ravens worked out Bryant in August, so this move doesn't completely come out of nowhere. Bryant, who turns 32 next month, last saw action in an NFL game Dec. 31, 2017. The wideout sat out the 2019 NFL season while rehabbing from an Achilles tear he suffered in November 2018, but now that he's well past that injury, he'll look to make his way back to the field in a Baltimore uniform. It's unclear how much (and when) he might be able to add to the team's passing attack at this point, but giving the accomplished pass-catcher a look via the practice squad is a low-risk way to evaluate that.

Bryant (Achilles) will travel to Baltimore this week for a workout with the Ravens, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old wideout sat out the 2019 NFL season while rehabbing from the Achilles tear he suffered in November 2018. The Ravens want to see Bryant work out before they offer a contract, and he'll likely need to compete for a roster spot if he ends up signing with the team.

Professionals receivers coach David Robinson said Bryant (Achilles) is back to "90-to-100-percent" strength and has fielded inquiries from multiple NFL teams, ESPN.com's John Keim reports.

EDGE Analysis

The teams reportedly want to see Bryant work out and run routes, which may be difficult amidst restrictions for the coronavirus pandemic. A report from February suggested the 31-year-old wideout was interested in rejoining the Cowboys, but there are probably better fits if he wants a real shot to compete for snaps. Bryant suffered a torn Achilles in Nov. 2018.

Bryant (Achilles) is interested in rejoining the Cowboys, Clarence E. Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said he received a text from Bryant, who last played for the team in 2017 and then suffered a torn Achilles with the Saints in 2018. The 31-year-old wide receiver may draw interest from a few teams, but he'll likely need to prove his health and battle for a spot on the 53-man roster if/when he signs a contract. For what it's worth, Jones didn't dismiss the idea of bringing Bryant back to Dallas.

Bryant (Achilles) said he will try to return to football in mid-October, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant signed with the Saints last November and suffered a torn Achilles shortly thereafter. There hasn't been any chatter about the 30-year-old wide receiver drawing interest from NFL teams, but he could make sense as a midseason pickup for an injury-riddled squad. Bryant is five years removed from his last 1,000-yard season (2014).

Bryant (Achilles) ran with cleats Monday for the first time since he was injured, Kevin Skiver of CBS Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant tore his Achilles tendon two days after signing with the Saints last November, and is progressing through the early stages of a long recovery process. The timing of his injury leaves the three-time Pro Bowler uncertain to be ready for Week 1, but his recovery progress is encouraging. Currently a free agent, the 30-year-old wideout clearly intends to continue his NFL career and search for a new home when healthy. Bryant hasn't seen game-time action since the 2017 season.

Coach Sean Payton said he can't "forecast the future" with Bryant, who is recovering from a torn Achilles, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Within days of signing with the Saints, Bryant sustained the season-ending injury in practice, never playing a down for the organization. He underwent surgery to repair the Achilles within a week, so he's a little more than four months into the rehab process. At the time of the injury, Bryant was expected to need at least eight months to return to full health, at which point he likely will make the rounds to find a new home. Payton didn't shed any light on whether the Saints will consider bringing him back to New Orleans, but the presence of Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara, Ted Ginn, Jared Cook and Tre'Quan Smith indicate targets would be difficult to earn in that locale.
