Vudu Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Report: Dez Bryant "likely" has high ankle sprain Posted by Evan Silva on July 30, 2010 7:24 PM ET ESPN's Tim MacMahon reports that the injury suffered by Cowboys rookie receiver Dez Bryant toward the end of Friday's practice is "likely" a high ankle sprain. Bryant is scheduled for an MRI on Friday night. Cowboys executive V.P. Stephen Jones expressed optimism when asked about the injury earlier in the day, but league sources tell MacMahon that the damage to Bryant's ankle is significant. Bryant was the talk of spring practices and the start of training camp, and will lose momentum if he's sidelined for 2-4 weeks. The injury also likely means that Roy Williams' starting job is safer. Assuming MacMahon's report is correct and Bryant's ankle sprain is of the high variety, slot receiver Patrick Crayton figures to get a bump in practice reps. Once a staple of Dallas' three-receiver sets in the slot, Crayton opened camp no higher than No. 4 on the depth chart. UPDATE: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Friday night that he expects Bryant to miss 4-6 weeks. And Roy Williams just dropped another pass. Jerry Jones suggests Dez Bryant was overworked Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on July 30, 2010 8:42 PM ET Reporters love Jerry Jones for the same reason that probably drives coaches crazy: Jones talks and emotes like a fan when things go wrong. It's no surprise, then, that Jones wasn't pleased when told about Dez Bryant's high ankle sprain, which will cost the rookie 4-6 weeks. In fact, he nudged his coaching staff under the bus. ESPN's Chris Mortensen writes on Twitter that Jones suggested Bryant was "overworked" and wasn't happy the injury happened on the second to last play of practice after all his reps and his kick return work. "Got a feeling someone has gotten their butts chewed," Mort wrote. Wade Phillips has a pretty sweet gig, but an unreasonable "butt chewing" or five from Jerry Jones every season comes with the territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djrulesall Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Are you sure Roy Williams didn't "accidentally" trip Dez Bryant when no one was looking? I mean it's not like anyone wants to watch Williams in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
