Dez Bryant has hairline fracture in knee, could still play Week 4

The Dallas Cowboys got a mixed bag with the MRI results of star wide receiver Dez Bryant.

Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett announced on Wednesday that Bryant has a hairline fracture in his knee, per Cam Inman of Bay Area News Group. Nevertheless, Garrett remains hopeful that the two-time Pro Bowler will still be able to play in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Bryant, who has been held to 11 receptions for 150 yards and a touchdown in the first three games of the season in the absence of starting quarterback Tony Romo, hurt the knee last Sunday night in a victory over the Chicago Bears.

While such an injury would likely topple a more mortal man, the Oklahoma State product has played through much worse before. As such, don’t be surprised if Bryant ultimately suits up Sunday afternoon against the Niners.
