Martavis Bryant, a talented wide receiver whose last appearance in the NFL dates back to 2018, is set to make a comeback in the league. The Dallas Cowboys have reportedly signed Bryant to their practice squad, as confirmed by multiple reports.
Known for his big-play ability, the 31-year-old Bryant made an immediate impact during his rookie year with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2014. He averaged an impressive 21.1 yards per catch and scored eight touchdowns in just 10 games. However, his career took a downturn as he faced multiple suspensions for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
The suspensions began in 2015, when Bryant was banned for the first four games of the season. He faced further consequences in 2016, sitting out the entire year due to another violation. Upon his return to the Steelers in 2017, Bryant struggled to replicate his early success. Subsequently, he was traded to the Oakland Raiders in 2018.
Unfortunately, Bryant's time with the Raiders was short-lived, as he faced another suspension towards the end of the same year. Since then, he has not found his way back to the NFL. Earlier this year, Bryant briefly played for the Vegas Vipers in the XFL but failed to make a substantial impact. It remains uncertain whether Bryant still possesses the skills that once made him a formidable threat on the field.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Bryant's abilities, the Cowboys have decided to take a chance on him by offering a spot on their practice squad. While it seems unlikely for him to return to his previous form, this opportunity may be his last shot at an NFL comeback.
The Cowboys conducted a workout with Bryant, where they evidently saw enough potential to provide him with a roster opportunity. As Bryant signs with the practice squad, it remains to be seen how his journey will unfold. With his checkered past, he faces an uphill battle to regain his previous stature in the league.
Only time will tell if Bryant can resurrect his career and contribute to the Dallas Cowboys' success. Nevertheless, his return to the NFL adds another layer of intrigue to the upcoming season, as fans eagerly wait to see if the once-promising receiver can find redemption on the field.
