This was to be the first game Bryant would have played against the Cowboys since being released from the team after the 2017 season.

"I'm looking forward to it," Bryant said Friday, Dec. 4. "A lot of those guys on the team I know; I'm real good friends with. [They're] helluva [good] football players. Whenever we line up across from one another, I think it's going to be fun. It's going to be an exciting moment."

Bryant was a star on the Cowboys for eight seasons.

The 32-year-old receiver must now enter quarantine.
