Ravens Dez Bryant tweets he’s negative for COVID-19

One of the few things Dallas Cowboys fans had to look forward to down the stretch of a miserable, now 3-9 season was being able to watch former star receiver Dez Bryant. Yes, it would’ve been in the uniform of the Baltimore Ravens, but with a lost campaign most were planning to celebrate any accomplishment from the franchise’s all-time touchdown reception leader, especially if he was able to Throw Up the X one last time.

Unfortunately, a pregame positive COVID-19 test took Bryant off the field during pregame warmups and he was sent home for the game. Bryant was clearly distraught and after tweeting the news to the world, followed it up by proclaiming he was thinking about sitting out the remainder of the season. Well, it turns out that Bryant may have had a false positive result, as the receiver tweeted out Thursday afternoon that he has tested negative in back-to-back tests.

The Ravens, of course, didn’t need Bryant to defeat Dallas 34-17, but he will be a key part of their campaign to return to the playoffs. More importantly though, anyone who can avoid catching the virus that is currently killing thousands of Americans by the day is a blessing. Bryant’s tweet seems to show frustration with the fact he tested positively and was taken out of his opportunity to have a reunion game against his former employer of eight seasons, but in the grand scheme of things, being negative is clearly a good, no great thing.
