One tackle in TNF win
Bryant recorded one tackle (zero solo) in Houston's win over Buffalo on Thursday night.
Analysis: With Jalen Pitre (concussion) sidelined the last three weeks, Bryant has taken over as the Texans' slot cornerback in his absence. He's recorded 17 tackles (nine solo) in that three-game span, playing at least 74 percent of the defensive snaps in all three contests.

Paces Texans in tackles Sunday
Bryant logged eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 16-13 win against Tennessee.
Analysis: Bryant got a chance to start for the second straight week with Jalen Pitre (concussion) unable to suit up. Bryant ended up playing all 59 of Houston's defensive snaps and leading the team in tackles. The Texans play on Thursday night this week, and if Pitre isn't able to return (he was estimated as limited in Monday's walkthrough), Bryant would be in line for another start.

Signed to active roster
The Texans signed Bryant to the active roster from their practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Bryant had already been elevated for the maximum three games this season, meaning he would've been unable to play in another matchup without joining the active roster. If Jalen Pitre is unable to clear the league's concussion protocol in time for Sunday's matchup versus the Titans, Bryant would likely step in as the team's starting slot cornerback.

Back with Houston
Bryant re-signed with the Texans on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: The five-year NFL veteran has inked a deal to return to Houston after spending part of the 2024 campaign with the team. Bryant appeared in 11 regular-season games last season, recording 14 total tackles while playing 188 total snaps (67 defensive and 121 on special teams). With Bryant returning to the Texans, he's expected to compete for a depth spot in the team's secondary.

Promoted to roster
Bryant was signed to Houston's 53-man roster from the practice squad Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Adding Bryant to the 53-man is a reaction to Jalen Pitre's torn pectoral injury, which will sideline him indefinitely. Jimmie Ward will slot in a nickel cornerback for Pitre, while the versatile Bryant offers depth and nickel, outside corner and safety. Bryant can also return punts if needed.

Finds new opportunity
Bryant signed a contract with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Bryant will suit up for a new franchise in 2024 after spending the first four years of his career in New England. The Washington product appeared in all 17 games last season, recording 77 tackles (65 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also forcing two fumbles and grabbing an interception. The 26-year-old should have the opportunity to bolster the depth in Houston's secondary in the upcoming campaign.

Career-high numbers in 2023
Bryant racked up 77 tackles (65 solo), including 1.0 sack, seven pass breakups (one interception) and two forced fumbles across 17 regular-season appearances in 2023.
Analysis: Bryant also accrued 11 yards on kick returns and 105 yards as a punt returner. The versatile contributor mostly handled slot snaps at cornerback for New England, but his dual-threat ability to handle punt return duties as well inarguably increased his value for the Patriots. Bryant is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Over illness
Bryant (illness) is active Sunday against the Jets.
Analysis: Bryant was able to log limited practices Thursday and Friday despite dealing with an illness, so it's probably no surprise the Washington product will be on the field Sunday. He should get the start at corner, opposite Shaun Wade.

Questionable for Sunday
Bryant (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Bryant could be trending in the right direction to play Sunday, as he began the Patriots' week of practice with a DNP but followed that up with limited work both Thursday and Friday. If the Washington product is unable to suit up in Week 18, Alex Austin could shoulder an increased workload in New England's secondary, and Demario Douglas would likely assume the team's top punt-returner duties.

Back at practice
Bryant (illness) was a limited participant at the Patriots' practice Thursday.
Analysis: Bryant missed the team's first practice of the week Wednesday with an illness, but his return Thursday seems to suggest that he'll be ready to go for Sunday's regular-season finale with the Jets. The dual-threat cornerback has recorded 15 tackles and a pass deflection while compiling 49 punt-return yards over the last three contests.

Gets first interception of season
Bryant recorded two tackles (two solo) and an interception in Sunday's 10-6 loss against the Colts.
Analysis: Bryant failed to tally five total tackles for the fourth time in 10 games this season, but he salvaged his day by running under a tipped Gardner Minshew pass early in the third quarter to secure his first pick of the campaign. Opposing quarterbacks have mostly had their way with Bryant in 2023 though, and his tackle production isn't consistent enough to warrant IDP consideration in all but the deepest of formats.

Set to face Colts
Bryant (chest) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: After being limited in practice this week, Bryant approached the contest listed as questionable. With his availability confirmed, the cornerback is in line to remain a key cog in the Patriots' secondary in Week 10. Through nine games, Bryant -- who notched seven tackles in a Week 9 loss to the Commanders -- has recorded 48 tackles, two forced fumbles and a sack, numbers that keep him on the radar in deeper IDP formats.

Gets 'questionable' designation
Bryant (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: After being limited at practice all week, Bryant is now in danger of sitting out his first game of the season Sunday. If he's sidelined, New England could find themselves precariously thin at corner, which might tempt Indianapolis to throw the ball more than they would otherwise.

Limited with chest injury
Bryant (chest) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: After starting four of New England's first five games, Bryant has been a sub-package player the last four weeks. On the season, Bryant has 48 tackles (40 solo), two pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one sack. He should be able to play Sunday in Germany versus Indianapolis.

Returning to New England
Bryant signed his restricted free agent tender with the Patriots on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Bryant now is officially tied to the Patriots for the 2023 campaign after registering 70 tackles (45 solo) and an interception for them last season. The 25-year-old will look to build off of his career year and should be in line to start at corner as well as serve as an option on punt returns.

Offered contract tender
The Patriots have offered Bryant, a pending restricted free agent, a contract tender for the coming season, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per Reiss, the defensive back's contract tender is reportedly for $2.6 million, which is at the right-of-first-refusal level. The move signifies that the Patriots hope to have Bryant reprise his role as the team's primary slot cornerback this coming season. In 17 games during the 2022 campaign, the 25-year-old recorded 70 tackles and an interception.

Notches seven tackles in MNF
Bryant logged seven tackles (five solo) in Monday's 27-13 win against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Bryant logged his second-most tackles in a game while also playing at least 63 percent of his team's defensive snaps for the fourth time this season. The 5-foot-9 cornerback also tied for New England's third-most tackles on defense along with Marcus Jones, who saw his most playing time of the season after cornerback Jack Jones was forced out with a knee injury in the first quarter. With the availability of starting cornerback Jalen Mills (groin) also still unclear, it's possibly Bryant and…read more

Able to practice
Bryant (undisclosed) is practicing Monday, indicating that he has been removed from the active/non-football injury list, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
Analysis: The nature of Bryant's injury wasn't revealed, but it evidently wasn't anything major. He's expected to earn a roster spot in 2022 and reprise his depth cornerback role from the previous season.

Goes on injury list
Bryant (undisclosed) was placed on the active/non-football injury list Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Bryant was a steady contributor for the Patriots last season, seeing action in 12 contests and recording 41 tackles, plus a sack, forced fumble and interception. Once healthy, he'll work to keep and potentially gain a larger role in the Patriots secondary.

Activated off reserve/COVID-19 list
Bryant was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old tested positive for COVID-19 on Jan. 3, ultimately missing the Patriots' Week 18 regular season finale against the Dolphins. Bryant returns just in time for the team's wild-card matchup with the Bills on Saturday, potentially stepping into a starting role in the secondary with fellow cornerback Jalen Mills (undisclosed) being placed on the COVID list Tuesday.

Placed on COVID-19 list
Bryant (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports, as a result of testing positive for the virus according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Analysis: Bryant has had a steady role in the Patriots' secondary this season, so any potential absence moving forward would be a blow to the defense. However, Bryant still has time to clear protocols before the Patriots travel to Miami for a Week 18 contest.
