NFLer Dez Bryant Tests Positive For COVID-19 30 Minutes Before Game Against Dallas Cowboys

Wide receiver Dez Bryant who currently plays for the Baltimore Ravens got some disappointing news just 30 minutes before a recent game. He posted the news on social media letting fans know that he tested positive for COVID-19, making him ineligible to play in the highly anticipated reunion game against the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday night (Dec. 8.). In a series of tweets he wrote:

“Tell me why they pull me from warming up so I can go get tested, my s*** come back positive… I tested positive for Covid.”

He says that this news is hard to believe considering he has the same routine every day.

“The crazy thing is i have the same d*** routine. … this s*** do not make sense to me.”

The news was so shocking that he says that he doesn’t even want to return to the season.

“Yea I’m going to go ahead and call it a quit for the rest of the season… I can’t deal with this”

He also asked the league if the game will go on since he tested positive.

“Since I tested positive for Covid before the game do the game stop or go on? @NFL”

Dez Bryant then says that he was going to cope with the news over a glass of wine.

“I’m about to drink some wine and cope….”

After Dez Bryant began to drink his wine, he called on his fans to have a glass with him.

“If you guys are with me tonight post your glass of wine.”

In a sweet turn of events, Dez Bryant fans began to post their glasses of wine, as they watched the game from home together.

The Baltimore Ravens went on to win the game, and in a post-game interview, one player said that they won the game in honor of Dez.

Back on Twitter Dez Bryant explained why this game meant so much to him, and why he was so upset he had to miss it. He previously played for the Dallas Cowboys before leaving in 2017.

According to the NFL, Dez Bryant had previously taken two tests and the results were inconclusive, despite the results he still took to the field for pregame warm-ups. Although according to league protocol the test results should have been treated as if he tested positive.

After he was removed from the field, a movement-tracking device that he was wearing, detected he had no high-risk close contact to anyone.
