Bryant (suspension) was waived by the Panthers on Thursday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant signed a future deal in January after finishing 2020 on Carolina's practice squad, but he was never likely to make the season-opening roster after picking up a two-game suspension over the summer for substance abuse. The 24-year-old last saw game action in 2019 with the Cowboys and caught a 15-yard touchdown in 12 contests.

Bryant has been suspended for the first two games of the coming season for violating the NFL Policy and Program on Substances of Abuse, Alaina Getzenberg of the Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The wideout, who is slated to fight for a depth slot on the Panthers' roster, will be permitted to participate in the team's training camp and preseason games and will be eligible to return to Carolina's active roster in time for Week 3 action. The 24-year-old has one catch (a 15-yard TD) to his credit over the course of the 12 NFL games he suited up for with Dallas in 2019.

The Panthers signed Bryant to a reserve/future contract Monday, Will Bryan of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant signed with the Panthers' practice squad in December and will stick with the team with hopes of making the 53-man roster in 2021. The 24-year-old played in 12 games for the Cowboys as an undrafted rookie in 2019, recording a 15-yard touchdown catch on his lone target.

Bryant was signed to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yet another one of coach Matt Rhule's Temple standouts signs on with the organization, as Bryant joins Robby Anderson and Keith Kirkwood as Owl WRs-turned-Panthers. The 24-year-old suited up for 12 games with the Cowboys during 2019, though his involvement was heavily slanted towards special-teams work.

The Cowboys waived Bryant (knee) from IR with an injury settlement Tuesday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant returned to practice nearly two weeks ago, opening the 21-day window for him to be activated from IR. The Cowboys waiving the receiver could be a sign that he wasn't going to be healthy at the end of the window, but it may simply mean that they're content with their wideout corps. Bryant will seek a depth role elsewhere once he's healthy.

Bryant (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, indicating that his 21-day window to return from IR has begun, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant could return as soon as Sunday's game versus the Giants, but if he's not activated by Oct. 28, the 24-year-old wideout will be shut down for the season. If he returns to the lineup, he'll likely operate in a special-teams role.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Mike McCarthy said Sunday that initial exams on Bryant's leg injury "seemed to be not of high concern," Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant appears to have avoided serious injury, but he'll still need to undergo further testing. The depth receiver appeared in 12 contests for the Cowboys last season, during which time he mostly contributed on special teams.

Bryant suffered a left leg injury during Sunday's scrimmage, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant had to be helped off the field by trainers. If the reserve wideout's injury is revealed to be significant, it would be a blow to Dallas' receiver depth.
