INJURIES

Let go by Detroit The Lions waived Bryant (undisclosed) on Wednesday with a non-football injury designation.
Impact Bryant finished the 2021 campaign on the non-football injury list and has now been let go on the eve of the 2022 NFL Draft. He went undrafted out of Washington in 2020 and caught one pass for 44 yards during his rookie campaign before sitting out all of last season.

Let go by Detroit The Lions waived Bryant (undisclosed) on Wednesday.
Impact Detroit frees up some roster space one day prior to the 2022 NFL Draft, waiving both Curtis Bolton and Bryant. The tight end spent the entire 2021 campaign on the reserve/non-football list, except for a stint on the COVID-19 list. Across five appearances in 2020, he was targeted three times.
APRIL 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Shifts to NFI list Bryant (undisclosed) shifted from the reserve/COVID-19 list to the reserve/non-football injury list Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Bryant has been on the non-football injury list since April 29 but landed on the reserve COVID-19 list Jan 5. He'll enter his third season as a pro in 2022 having recorded just one career reception on three targets.
JANUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Shifts to COVID list Bryant (undisclosed) was transferred to the reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Impact Bryant has been on the NFI list all season but will now be on the COVID list until he clears the league protocols. He caught one pass for 44 yards in five games as a rookie last season but won't end up seeing the field in 2021.

Lions exercise 5th-year option on center Frank Ragnow

The Detroit Lions exercised the fifth-year contract option on Pro Bowl offensive lineman Frank Ragnow
APRIL 28, 2021 • Associated Press
Minimal usage in season finale Bryant saw one target but did not catch a pass during Sunday's 37-35 loss to the Vikings.
Impact That makes three targets on the season for the undrafted rookie out of Washington whose rookie debut was delayed by a combination of hamstring and head injuries. Not seeing action until Week 13, Bryant at least showcased a bit of explosion in his limited playing time (7.0 offensive snaps per game) this year by catching one of them for a 44-yard gain in Week 15. However, with both T.J. Hockenson and Jesse James under contract through at least 2022, the majority of Bryant's value resides in dynasty formats for the time being.
JANUARY 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Snags first career catch Bryant caught one of two targets for 44 yards during Sunday's 46-25 loss to the Titans.
Impact Lining up in the slot, the 6-foot-2 tight end (who's really more of a receiver) made a nice grab down the seam that marked his first catch as a pro. With Detroit out of playoff contention and none of the Lions' top four receivers under contract beyond this season, it'll be interesting to see if the Lions give the rookie an extended look during the final two games of the campaign.
DECEMBER 21, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Logs four snaps on offense Bryant logged four offensive snaps during Sunday's 31-24 loss to Green Bay.
Impact Bryant saw another handful of snaps after logging five in his professional debut last week against the Bears. While there's a chance interim head coach Darrell Bevell might experiment with the rookie down the stretch, Bryant will need to see a big jump in playing time to be worthy of fantasy attention.
DECEMBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Set to make season debut Bryant (concussion) practiced fully for the third straight day Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears.
Impact Bryant's absence from the injury report suggests he has cleared the concussion protocol and should make his season debut Sunday. His role will likely be limited primarily to special teams duties, however, as Bryant's unlikely to unseat T.J. Hockenson or Jesse James from the top two spots on Detroit's tight end depth chart.
DECEMBER 4, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Progressing through protocol Bryant (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Bryant was activated off injured reserve Wednesday after sitting out the first 11 games with a hamstring injury and, recently, a concussion. While he's been moved back to the active roster, his appearance on the injury report indicates that he may still be in the league's five-step concussion protocol. However, the undrafted rookie out of Washington is on track to make his NFL debut this Sunday against the Bears if this progress continues. He'll slot into a depth role at tight end behind T.J. Hockenson, Jesse James and Isaac Nauta.
DECEMBER 3, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Finally activated off IR Bryant (concussion/hamstring) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Bryant returned to practice Nov. 11 but it apparently took a few weeks for him to clear concussion protocol. Now ready for action, Bryant is nothing more than the third or fourth tight end on the depth chart, though he probably is the second-best pass catcher Detroit has at the position.
DECEMBER 2, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to practice Bryant (concussion/hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday, indicating the beginning of his 21-day window to be activated from IR, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Bryant has yet to play this season, as he started the year with a hamstring injury and later was diagnosed with a concussion. It's unclear if he's still bothered by either injury, but the undrafted rookie out of Washington is eligible to make his NFL debut Sunday against the Football Team.

OCTOBER 16, 2020 • Associated Press
Detroit Lions place TE Hunter Bryant on Injured Reserve The Detroit Lions announced they have placed undrafted rookie tight end Hunter Bryant on Injured Reserve.
OCTOBER 16, 2020 • USATODAY.COM
Placed on IR Bryant (concussion/hamstring) was placed on IR on Friday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Bryant has been bothered by both a concussion and a hamstring injury, and the depth tight end will have to sit out for at least three weeks as a result. He can return Nov. 8 against Minnesota at the earliest, and Detroit may opt to bring in another tight end behind T.J. Hockenson and Jesse James in the meantime.
OCTOBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Misses another practice Bryant (concussion/hamstring) was held out of Detroit's practice session Thursday.
Impact The 22-year-old tight end was hampered by a hamstring issue for the first month of the season, and now he is navigating his way through concussion protocol as Detroit readies for a Week 6 matchup against the Jaguars. Bryant has yet to make an NFL appearance after registering 52 catches and 825 receiving yards last year during his final collegiate season at Washington.
OCTOBER 15, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Enters concussion protocol Bryant (concussion) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Bryant missed the first four games of the season with a hamstring injury. He's no longer listed with a hamstring issue on the injury report, but he has entered the league's concussion protocol. The undrafted free agent out of Washington has two more days of practice to get onto the field and have a chance to play Sunday versus the Jaguars.
OCTOBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting out Sunday Bryant (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Saints.
Impact The undrafted free agent out of Washington will remain sidelined through the Lions' Week 5 bye with hopes of returning against the Jaguars in Week 6. T.J. Hockenson and Jesse James are the only tight ends active for the Lions on Sunday.
OCTOBER 4, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Status uncertain for Sunday Bryant (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Saints, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Bryant stayed on the practice field the entire week, and although it was only in a limited fashion, it was the first time he's accomplished that this season. The undrafted rookie could make his NFL debut Sunday if his recovery keeps progressing. If he plays, he'll likely slot in as the No. 3 tight end behind T.J. Hockenson and Jesse James.
OCTOBER 2, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Practicing on a limited basis Bryant (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Bryant has now logged back-to-back limited practices while recovering from his hamstring injury. The undrafted rookie will target making his NFL debut against the Saints on Sunday, but he may first need to resume practicing without restrictions.
OCTOBER 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Debut still on hold Bryant (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday's game in Arizona, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Bryant's NFL debut remains on hold as the undrafted tight end will be sidelined for a third consecutive week to open his career. His next chance to suit up will come in Week 4 against the Saints.
SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Unable to play Sunday Bryant (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Packers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact The undrafted TE made the team out of camp but is still awaiting his NFL debut. He bumped up to limited participation in Friday's practice, which bodes well for his availability in Week 3's matchup versus the Cardinals.
SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Still absent from practice Bryant (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN reports.
Impact Bryant has yet to resume practicing since sustaining a hamstring injury in training camp. The undrafted rookie looks in line to miss Sunday's game in Green Bay, but his absence won't have a significant impact on Detroit's offense.
