Cowboys Execs Confident Dez Is Still On Original Schedule For Recovery

PHILADELPHIA – There’s been no change in Dez Bryant’s prognosis for return, as far as the Cowboys’ front office is concerned.

Reports surfaced early Thursday morning that an added procedure – a bone graft, to be exact – would add weeks onto Bryant’s return from a broken metatarsal. Those reports suggested an absence of 10-to-12 weeks, as opposed to the initial report of six-to-eight.

Following Sunday’s 20-10 win against the Eagles, Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones said Bryant is on the same schedule as expected.

“In no way, in our opinion, will that prolong and increase the amount of time Dez Bryant will be out,” Jones said.
