Saints’ Receiver Dez Bryant Tears Achilles One Day After Signing With Team

The New Orleans Saints made a splash earlier this week when it signed former Pro Bowl wide receiver Dez Bryant. However, Bryant’s season might be over before it even began.

Bryant reportedly tore his achilles during practice on Friday afternoon. To make matters worse, it happened on the last play of practice.

The is a huge blow for the Saints, who are short in the receiving corp due to injuries, as well as Bryant, who has waited until mid-season to sign after being released by the Cowboys in April.

Testing on Saints’ WR Dez Bryant’s Achilles is considered “a formality”, per source. Doctors believe it is torn. Injury expected to sideline him eight months, putting him on track to potentially be ready for training camp.
