Report: Saints open to bringing Dez Bryant back in 2019

Dez Bryant wasn't able to suit up for the New Orleans Saints this year, but he may get the opportunity next season.

Bryant suffered a season-ending torn Achilles this week in his second practice with his new team, but as long as he makes a full recovery the Saints are open to bringing him back in 2019, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports, citing sources.

New Orleans signed Bryant to a reported one-year, $600,000 contract on Wednesday. The 30-year-old will return to the free-agent market in 2019.

He's expected to miss the next six-to-nine months with the Achilles injury. That timeline would put him on track to recover in time for next season's training camp.
