Dez, we hardly knew ya …
On a cold, damp Friday afternoon at Saints camp, news filtered out that Dez Bryant suffered a lower leg injury in practice. It was confirmed by NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero that indeed Bryant suffered what seems to be a torn Achilles tendon. The Achilles injury was the initial diagnosis. Bryant will undergo an MRI for confirmation of that injury and would likely seek out a second opinion according to reports.
Bryant’s injury, if confirmed, would most certainly finish any opportunity to play this season. Recovery time on an Achilles injury is around 6 months.
