Rotowire
Bryant won't suit up in Sunday's game against the Bears due to a thigh injury.
Bryant was deemed doubtful for the contest Friday after logging a trio of limited practice sessions, so this news isn't surprising. Bryant will miss his second straight contest with the thigh issue, and he's only appeared in two games so far this campaign. With Da'Shawn Hand (groin) also sidelined, Romeo Okwara Everson Griffen and Frank Herron are the only healthy defensive ends on the roster Sunday.

Lions' Austin Bryant: Returns to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Bryant (pectoral) returned to practice Wednesday, indicating the beginning of his 21-day window to be activated from the reserve/PUP list, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Bryant didn't participate in training camp, and this was his first time on the practice field this season. The 2019 fourth-round pick has been dealing with a pectoral injury, but it appears he could make a return to the lineup soon. Trey Flowers (ankle) and Da'Shawn Hand are the Lions' starting defensive ends, but once he's healthy, Bryant will battle for leftover reps with Romeo Okwara.
