Dez Bryant, Baltimore Ravens’ wide receiver, had spent eight years as a Dallas Cowboy. He made three Pro Bowls and one All-Pro team with the while playing for the Jerry Jones-owned organisation. Bryant parted ways with the Cowboys after the 2017 season but didn’t join any team for a year. He later signed with the New Orleans Saints in November 2018. Sadly, his journey with the Saints was over just days post signing the contract.
Just two days after signing, he injured his Achilles’ tendon, leading to a long recovery time period, he spent most of his leftover 2018 and 2019 in recovery. On 27th November 2020, Bryant signed to Baltimore Ravens‘ practice squad. He moved up the active roster on November 7th and became active on the roster by 21st November.

This Tuesday would be unique for him. He is going to face his former team, the Dallas Cowboys at the M&T Bank Stadium.
