Sources: Ravens looking at Dez Bryant again

The Baltimore Ravens are planning to bring in wide receiver Dez Bryant for evaluation, and if they think he’s a fit they would sign him to their practice squad, sources confirmed to ESPN’s Ed Werder on Thursday.

The move to the practice squad would give Bryant a chance to get in game shape, sources said, adding that the team thinks he can help as a physical presence.

The Ravens have been courting the 31-year-old Bryant for years. He worked out for the team in August but left without a deal.

Bryant is attempting to become the second Pro Bowl wide receiver to miss two full seasons and then return to the NFL since the 1970 merger, according to the Elias Sports Bureau (Josh Gordon was the first). Bryant hasn’t played in a game since December 2017.
