Bryant may have torn his Achilles

Dez Bryant was injured in just his second practice with the New Orleans Saints and the newly acquired receiver has indicated in social media posts that he has had a significant setback.

The team’s injury report on Friday listed Bryant as questionable for Sunday’s game in Cincinnati with an ankle injury, amid multiple media reports that the team believes Bryant tore an Achilles tendon.

A person familiar with the situation said the team is still awaiting the results of a doctor’s examination of Bryant.

Bryant has indicated on social media that the injury will be challenging to overcome, writing on his verified Twitter account, “Things was just starting to heat up for me ... I won’t question the man upstairs ... this is the ultimate test.. thank you everyone for the prayers.”

Bills: Coach Sean McDermott is backing off his previous commitment of having Nathan Peterman start against the New York Jets if rookie Josh Allen isn’t cleared to play.

And that puts Matt Barkley in the mix to start Sunday.

McDermott reversed course Friday after he ruled out Derek Anderson and said Allen’s status remains uncertain four weeks since spraining his right throwing elbow. Asked of the possibility of Peterman starting, McDermott sidestepped the question.

Jets: Quarterback Sam Darnold is listed as doubtful for the team’s game against Buffalo, making it unlikely he will serve as Josh McCown’s backup.

Darnold did not practice all week after straining his right foot last Sunday.
