Reinstated wide receiver Martavis Bryant to work out for Cowboys, per report
View Date:2025-01-09 21:36:25
The NFL comeback tour for wide receiver Martavis Bryant is taking another turn.
According to The Athletic, Bryant is set to work out for the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday. This comes just days after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reportedly reinstated Bryant from a four-year suspension of multiple violations of the league's policy on substance abuse. Bryant's reinstatement means that he is free to sign with any team, though he likely has terms and conditions he is required to meet.
Bryant, who turns 32 in December, last played in the NFL in 2018 as a member of the Oakland Raiders. A fourth-round pick in the 2014 NFL draft, Bryant flashed promise as a big-play target with the Steelers, combining for 1,314 receiving yards and 15 total touchdowns through his first two seasons in Pittsburgh.
Bryant missed the entire 2016 season due to a suspension before his eventual reinstatement in April 2017.
The Steelers traded Bryant to the Raiders in April 2018 and he played eight games there before a knee injury prematurely ended his season. In December 2018, the NFL suspended Bryant indefinitely for a violation of the terms of his conditional reinstatement.

Since then, Bryant has bounced around professional football, latching on for opportunities in the Canadian Football League, the now-dormant Fan Controlled Football and, in what was his most successful stint, in the XFL.
During his time in the NFL, Bryant caught 145 passes for 2,183 yards and scored 18 total touchdowns.
The Cowboys (5-3) rank 12th in the NFL in passing offense, generating an average of 234.9 passing yards per game. Star receiver CeeDee Lamb leads the team with 824 yards and three touchdowns, but the team has been missing a dependable No. 2 target, with tight end Jake Ferguson ranking second on the team with only 328 receiving yards.
