Dez Bryant says he tested positive for COVID-19 moments before kickoff against Cowboys

Dez Bryant was warming up on the field before he was tested.

Dez Bryant was just minutes away from facing his old team, the Dallas Cowboys, on Tuesday night when he says he was called in from warmups to take a COVID-19 test.

He then said he failed that test and was scratched from the Ravens roster.

Ouch.

The Ravens, of course, have been hit hard by COVID-19 the past few weeks. It was why last week’s game with the Steelers was pushed back three times and it’s why tonight’s game with the Cowboys was pushed back from last Thursday.

Bryant has worked so hard to come back to the NFL and while he would have loved to have faced his old team, here’s hoping the best for his health.

Here’s his tweet, with a bad word in it so run for the hills if you don’t like those things:

Shortly after that he tweeted that he wants to be done for the season:

That he was warming up with COVID doesn’t seem like the safest thing for the NFL and a Ravens team that has been dealing with this for weeks.

Here’s the news of the Ravens scratching him from the lineup:

That’s a bummer.
