Dez Bryant's homecoming game against the Dallas Cowboys was spoiled when he was pulled from the Baltimore Ravens roster minutes before kickoff after testing positive for COVID-19.

The Ravens wide receiver had already been out warming up on the field ahead of the game when his Tuesday test came back inconclusive. Bryant was pulled back into the locker room to take a point-of-contact test which came back positive.

Bryant tweeted out the news, clearly disappointed.

He also raised a good question with the NFL - would the game be cancelled due to his late positive result?

Ultimately, the league would go on with the game, leaving Bryant to deal with the untimely end of his season on his own.
