Bryant injures foot

Two days after signing with the New Orleans Saints, receiver Dez Bryant sustained a potentially season-ending foot injury on the final play of practice Friday, according to multiple reports. Bryant had to be helped off the field, according to NFL Network, which also said that the Saints feared he had torn his Achilles tendon. He was scheduled to undergo magnetic resonance imaging, the network said, to determine the extent of the injury. A torn Achilles would sideline Bryant deep into next year. The NFC South-leading Saints added Bryant to their roster Wednesday to bolster their receiving corps heading into the second half of the season. Their decision to sign Bryant, who spent his first eight seasons with the Dallas Cowboys before being released in April, seemed rooted more in improving their chances to advance far into the playoffs than in helping them get there. The Saints are averaging 34.9 points per game, best in the NFC, behind a diverse offense led by quarterback Drew Brees, running backs Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram, and receiver Michael Thomas.
