Dez Bryant says he will play Week 8
The Dallas Cowboys are heading into the bye with an NFC East-leading 5-1 record, and they should be in even better shape in Week 8.
After his team’s 30-16 win over the Green Bay Packers Sunday, Bryant assured a reporter he will be suiting up in two weeks.

Bryant indicated before Sunday’s game that he wanted to play, but it’s no surprise the team held him out with the bye coming up. There’s no use risking their star wide receiver tweaking his knee again.
The good news is it does not appear Bryant has suffered any setbacks in practice, meaning there’s little risk of him pulling another immature stunt before Week 8.
