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).
