Dez Bryant might have a window to make his return to the NFL.

The New Orleans Saints are bringing in three receivers, including Bryant, for workouts on Tuesday, according to NFL Media's Jane Slater.

Brandon Marshall, the six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver who was released by the Seattle Seahawks last Tuesday, is also expected to be among those trying out, according to multiple reports.

Bryant, who turned 30 on Sunday, has remained unsigned since he was released by the Dallas Cowboys in April. He worked out for the Cleveland Browns in August but has remained relatively quiet since the start of the season, saying on Twitter in late September he would be signing "soon."

In an Instagram post on Sunday, Bryant wrote: "Not doing what I love (football) put a weight on me that I never thought I could lift off due to my situations and sacrifices.. life will forever be a test no way you can cheat it."

The Saints are 7-1 and riding a seven-game win streak but could be in the market to give Drew Brees another target.

Wide receiver Michael Thomas ranks fourth in the NFL with 880 receiving yards on 70 catches, but no other player at the position has more than 12 catches. Rookie third-round pick Tre'Quan Smith stepped in for Ted Ginn Jr., who was placed on injured reserve in October.
