Dez Bryant

Dez Bryant may end up missing his second straight game with a knee injury.

Bryant did not participate in practice on Thursday and reportedly is unlikely to play on Sunday for the Dallas Cowboys against the Cincinnati Bengals.

#Cowboys WR Dez Bryant is described as unlikely to play Sunday, source said, though he'll try to test his knee tomorrow in practice.

The Dallas Morning News described Dez as a “longshot” to play in the game, so Ian Rapoport’s report is not surprising. Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett did say Bryant did some work on the side Wednesday.

Bryant has 11 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown in three games this season for the Cowboys. The team is 3-1 after beating the 49ers without Bryant last week. Dez suffered a hairline fracture in his knee in Week 3 against the Bears and avoided his MRIs because he was fearful of bad news.
