The Baltimore Ravens have officially placed wideout Dez Bryant on the COVID-19 reserve list, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Bryant, while warming up for the Dallas Cowboys game on Tuesday, was pulled aside by the Ravens to get tested for COVID-19 again. The former star playmaker tested positive and wasn't able to face his former team.

Dez Bryant was very frustrated after his positive COVID-19 test on Tuesday. The Ravens wide receiver actually tweeted he was going to sit out the rest of the season, but it's unknown if Bryant was being serious.
Without Bryant, the Ravens easily defeated the Cowboys to improve to 7-5 on the season. To make the playoffs, Baltimore will have to clinch one of the three Wild Card spots in the AFC since the Pittsburgh Steelers are 11-1 and will win the AFC North.
The Ravens will take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 14 in a pivotal game for both clubs. Bryant, who has appeared in three games this season and caught four balls for 28 yards, will have to have multiple negative COVID-19 tests to be eligible to play against the Browns.
The coronavirus has been spreading across the NFL since teams are traveling on planes and playing a contact sport. Commissioner Roger Goodell likely knew this was going to happen, but money talks in this world and Goodell wasn't prepared to lose millions of dollars by canceling the season.
