Lions rookie tight end Bryant's momentum slowed by injury

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions have a lengthy track record of rewarding an undrafted rookie with a roster spot, but that possibility was always going to be in jeopardy this year after the COVID-19 pandemic significantly reduced the opportunities for those players to prove themselves on the practice field.

Still, through the first week of training camp, tight end Hunter Bryant has been making a case. At least until he suffered an injury — seemingly with his hamstring — during Saturday's practice.

Prior to heading to the locker room, Bryant was doing what he does best, catching passes.
