In the three games he has played for Dallas this season, Bryant has 11 catches for 150 yards and 1 TD. In 2015, Bryant had a disappointing season, when he had just 31 catches for 401 yards and 3 TDs in nine games. Bryant's return comes at a time when the Eagles are thin at cornerback.
This news is sure to excite your neighbor down the street who has never been to Dallas.
