Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta is set to sign former All-Pro wide receiver Dez Bryant to the practice squad, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Baltimore had brought Bryant in for a workout earlier this season but failed to sign him at that time.
With the Ravens’ offense struggling, ranking No. 31 in passing yards this season, it’s clear they needed the extra help. However, it’ll be interesting to see just how capable Bryant still is at nearly 32 years old.
In his prime, Bryant regularly topped 1,200 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns a season with the Cowboys, but Bryant hasn’t played a down of football in the regular season since 2017.
Coming off an Achilles injury in a very short stint with the New Orleans Saints, many are wondering just how much Bryant still has in the tank

The Ravens traded for Calais Campbell this offseason in the hopes he’d help transform the run defense and offer some pass rush from the interior.
While Campbell has been good through the first five weeks, he showed up in a big way in Week 6 against the Eagles.
Campbell finished the game with three sacks of Carson Wentz, in addition to posting five total tackles, four tackles for a loss, and four quarterback hits.
That dominant performance earned Campbell the AFC’s Defensive Player of the Week award.
Campbell’s four sacks lead everyone on the Ravens’ roster by at least 1.5, while his 10 quarterback hits come in second behind outside linebacker Matthew Judon’s 11

The Ravens haven’t always won pretty this season but with Week 6’s game against the Eagles, the Ravens earned their fifth win of the 2020 NFL season.
Baltimore’s 5-1 start is a monumental milestone that points to much greater things on the horizon.
This is just the third time the Ravens have started 5-1. The two other times that happened, Baltimore went on to win the Super Bowl that season.
The Ravens started the 2000 season 5-1 before suffering three consecutive losses where kicker Matt Stover was their entire offense.
But as many fans will remember, Baltimore’s defense was on a completely different level and helped guide the team to its first Lombardi trophy.
The Ravens started 5-1 in the 2012 season before seeing some late-season struggles to go 10-6.
However, quarterback Joe Flacco really turned it on in the playoffs, guiding Baltimore to their second Super Bowl victory in franchise history.
While Baltimore has struggled to find consistency on offense and stay healthy on defense, they sit at 5-1 right now and that’s a pretty good spot to be

Though several teams have had outbreaks that has seen NFL schedules change accordingly, the Ravens have been fairly lucky through the first six weeks of the season.
However, the Ravens placed defensive tackle Brandon Williams on the COVID-19 list Saturday, according to the team.
Williams is just the second Baltimore player of the season to head to the COVID-19/Reserve list, with UDFA safety Nigel Warrior getting the designation at training camp.
It’s unclear if William’s tested positive for the virus or was just in close contact with someone who did.
However, it’s unlikely Williams will be able to play in Sunday’s game against the Eagles
