The Baltimore Ravens are finalizing a deal to add Dez Bryant, the three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, to their practice squad, NFL Network reported.

"My emotions running high right now... I'm thankful...I can't stop crying," Bryant, 31, said in a tweet.

Bryant's deal comes less than a week after ESPN's Josina Anderson reported the Ravens planned on bringing him in as a member of the practice squad.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network echoed that report and noted that was the plan if he passed a physical and performed well in a workout.

Bryant seemed to be on the road to a comeback in November 2018 when he signed with the New Orleans Saints. However, he tore his Achilles in practice and was later released.

Bryant was a first-team All-Pro selection in 2014 with 88 catches for 1,320 yards and a league-leading 16 touchdowns. It was the third consecutive year he finished with double-digit touchdown catches and more than 1,200 receiving yards.

However, his production fell off from there, as he played just nine games in 2015 and failed to reach 850 receiving yards or double-digit touchdowns in 2016 and 2017.

Bryant hasn't played since 2017. He said in a tweet that he just wants to contribute.
