Cowboys’ Bryant out 4-6 weeks
Update: NFL.com is reporting that Cowboys rookie wide receiver Dez Bryant could miss the rest of the team’s training camp after suffering a high right ankle sprain near the end of practice Friday. The Cowboys have said he will be out four to six weeks.
Fantasy Impact: This certainly isn’t what you want to hear, but it’s not the end of the world for Dez Bryant or the Dallas Cowboys. If six weeks is the maximum amount of time he will be out for then he will be active for the Week 1 matchup in Washington. Bryant can use this additional time to study film, get more familiar with his playbook, and learn from the example that Dallas’ veteran receivers set. Remember also that Michael Crabtree wasn’t even in camp until October last year and was able to produce at a high level, in spite of less production from the quarterback position and lesser complementary receivers than Dez Bryant has now. My original take on Bryant was to not take him until three wideouts had already been selected, but to not be afraid to make him a no.4. This injury hasn’t changed that.
