Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is reportedly in danger of missing multiple games after he suffered a knee injury in last week’s win over the Chicago Bears.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that it would be a “long shot” for Bryant to play against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. He also said the Cowboys are concerned their star receiver could end up being out three weeks.

The more information I gather on #Cowboys WR Dez Bryant's knee (hairline fracture), the more it seems to be a long-shot he plays Sunday.

The #Cowboys are hoping there is minimal risk for Dez to play Sunday. They are also aware of the possibility it becomes a 3-week injury.

Bryant is dealing with a hairline fracture in his right leg, though he supposedly made it very difficult for team doctors to come up with that diagnosis. The Cowboys have said they are hopeful he will play in Week 4, but that sounds like far from a guarantee at this point.
