Ventell Bryant: Let go by Carolina
Bryant (suspension) was waived by the Panthers on Thursday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Ventell Bryant: Agrees to injury settlement
The Cowboys waived Bryant (knee) from IR with an injury settlement Tuesday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Bryant returned to practice nearly two weeks ago, opening the 21-day window for him to be activated from IR. The Cowboys waiving the receiver could be a sign that he wasn't going to be healthy at the end of the window, but it may simply mean that they're content with their wideout corps. Bryant will seek a depth role elsewhere once he's healthy.

Bryant (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, indicating that his 21-day window to return from IR has begun, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Bryant could return as soon as Sunday's game versus the Giants, but if he's not activated by Oct. 28, the 24-year-old wideout will be shut down for the season. If he returns to the lineup, he'll likely operate in a special-teams role.

Coach Mike McCarthy said Sunday that initial exams on Bryant's left knee injury "seemed to be not of high concern," Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Cowboys' Ventell Bryant: Makes lone catch count in 2019
Bryant finished the regular season seeing only 23 snaps on offense and catching his only target for a 15-yard touchdown through 12 games.
An undrafted free agent out of Temple, the rookie receiver initially got a look from the Bengals over the summer before winding up as primarily a special-teams player in Dallas after his promotion from the practice squad in Week 5. His Week 13 visit to the end zone provided a nice highlight, but there's no guarantee Bryant can even hang onto a roster spot in 2020.

Missing practice and appearing on the injury report at the end of the week is never a good sign for a player's prospects of playing. The Cowboys would be without some of their special-teams depth if the 23-year-old sits.
