Update:
According to Jay Glazer, Ravens’ veteran WR Dez Bryant had an inconclusive COVID-19 test on Tuesday morning and was under the impression that he could play in tonight’s game, via Fox Sports.
However, doctors pulled Bryant from the field during warmups in order to retest him at the stadium. His screening came back positive and was subsequently sent home from the game.
Soon after, Bryant wrote on Twitter that he no longer wants to play this season.
Yea I’m going to go ahead and call it a quit for the rest of the season… I can’t deal with this

Ravens WR Dez Bryant announced on Twitter that he tested positive for COVID-19 just prior to Tuesday’s game against the Cowboys.

The Ravens have since ruled Bryant out for Tuesday’s game against his former team with an “illness.”
Bryant will be placed on the team’s COVID-19 list until he provides three negative tests.
Bryant, 31, is a former first-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2010. He was in the third year of his five-year, $70 million contract that included $45 million guaranteed and was set to make base salaries of $12.5 million over the final two years of the agreement when Dallas released him last year.
The Saints signed Bryant to a one-year deal worth $600,000 over the remainder of the season, but he suffered a torn Achilles. It took until a month ago for him to sign on to the Ravens’ practice squad. He’s bounced on and off Baltimore’s active roster since then.
In 2020, Bryant has appeared in three games and recorded four receptions for 28 yards receiving (7.0 YPC) and no touchdowns.

Always has to cop an attitude if something goes wrong, or don’t go his way. It never ceases. In the day, this was called poor sportsmanship. But now it’s not proper to do this, for a fear of racial injustice or something.
Once one of the best in the game, this just seems to further erode his, as well as some others legacies now days. It’s selfish as well, if the Ravens need to replace him and suffer with a training problem to do this. Unfair to teammates and the club that gave him yet another opportunity.
You have an strong opinion and feelings about
His (Dez) situation and you not even in the NFL and the ravens locker room nor
Organization but he is the subject but suppose to handle this situation the way you want him too ,this is America ,crazy things happens in America whether you are in it or watching maybe Jerry Jones might have something to do with him not playing ,maybe someone didn’t want him in this game ,maybe someone was afraid of a
Story line that was developing a motivated Dez Bryant against his struggling
Cowboys,just maybe there was a underlining Story here.
He deserves to be upset. Do you not understand the frustration. Imagine you having a job doing something you like and your employer comes in and tell you they are laying you off. You come back for two or three weeks and then you get laid off again. They bring you back for three weeks and then say we are laying you off again. You would be upset as well. In this case he knows he isn’t sick. Yet, Jerry didn’t what to be proven wrong for letting Dez GO.
