MORE: Best-ever Cowboys | Tony Romo may have surgery | Ravens’ Steve Smith decides against retirement 

Bryant suffered a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot in the Cowboys’ season-opening win over the Giants and immediately underwent surgery. He was able to return in the team’s Week 8 loss to the Seahawks after intense rehabilitation. However, Bryant never quite regained form with the revolving door at quarterback and ensuing foot and ankle issues.

Bryant had 31 catches for 401 yards and three touchdowns in nine games, with just one 100-yard game this season.
