Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant hopes to resume his NFL career next month.
The 30-year-old veteran tore his right Achilles tendon last November during a practice with the New Orleans Saints.
On Saturday, NFL Network’s Jane Slater shared a video clip of Bryant working out and catching passes.
“Healthy, moving fast and explosive,” receivers coach David Robinson said of Bryant, who hasn’t caught a pass in the NFL since 2017.
“I’m way better than I was before I went to the Saints last year,” Bryant told Slater. “Mid-October is when I’m going to be trying to get back in the league.”
A first-round pick in 2010, Bryant caught 531 passes for 7,459 yards and 73 touchdowns in 113 games over eight seasons with the Cowboys. He made three Pro Bowls and had three 1,000-yard seasons.
Cut by Dallas in April 2018, Bryant signed with New Orleans on Nov. 8 but landed on injured reserve with the Achilles injury two days later.
