Video: One-time Saints WR Dez Bryant runs for first time after injury

Former New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant shared a video on social media of his first full-length strides as a runner, seven months after injuring his Achilles tendon. The injury was surgically-repaired and Bryant has been very transparent throughout his recovery, at one point sharing a brief video with the doctor who performed the procedure, to confirm it went well.

Whether Bryant will have a second attempt at stardom with the Saints is up in the air. Saints coach Sean Payton was ambivalent when asked about Bryant’s status late in March, during NFL owners’ meetings in Phoenix.
