Dez Bryant is officially back.
The Baltimore Ravens wide receiver hauled in his first touchdown pass in three years on Sunday, grabbing a 12-yeard toss from quarterback Lamar Jackson in the back of the end zone to put the Ravens up 26-0 in the second quarter against the Jaguars.
The last time Bryant scored a touchdown came on Dec. 10, 2017 as a member of the Dallas Cowboys in a game against the New York Giants.
Since then, the 32-year-old receiver has had a tumultuous journey to get back in the NFL, missing a season due to an Achilles tear and then taking last season off.
After the game, Bryant said he was emotional after scoring the touchdown because he was thinking about his daughter.
“I’m being honest, I had to hold back my tears because it was very emotional,” Bryant said. “These guys here, they are 100. They are amazing, phenomenal people."
This was also Bryant’s first game back since testing positive for COVID-19 two weeks ago when he was removed during pregame warmups before a game against this former team.
