Fans of the Dallas Cowboys probably went to bed quite happy on Sunday night after getting a come from behind victory against the New York Giants. Jason Witten goes into Cowboys' lore yet again as he had two fourth quarter touchdowns to cap the rally with a 27-26 win. But, despite the good news of what happened on the field during the game, sometimes the worst news comes off of the field. Because that is when we all learned that Dez Bryant was expected to miss 4-6 weeks because of a broken bone in his right foot.
It was reported early this morning by Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News on Twitter. @DMN_George, "Dez Bryant has a broken bone in right foot and needs surgery, Jerry Jones said."
While the initial expectation is that he is going to be out for just 4-6 weeks, a team just up Interstate 35 wants to remind Cowboys fans that foot injuries are more complicated than most injuries, simply because there is so much pressure being put on their feet. In case you missed it, yours truly was referring to Kevin Durant. But just like a basketball player, an NFL receiver also has to be able to jump. It is important to realize that four weeks from Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys will be taking on the New England Patriots. But after that week Dallas has a bye week, so they should probably just hold him out until week seven at the earliest. Ironically, the Cowboys would be going to Metlife Stadium to face the same New York Giants.
There are only three other receivers on the roster so the Cowboys will probably add someone this week. But this means that Cole Beasley and Terrance Williams should be the starting receivers. Also, Devin Street, the third receiver on the roster, should get some additional playing time as they will need to find an alternative to Dez.
As always, the writers of VAVEL USA will be wishing Dez Bryant a quick recovery from his foot injury as sports are always the most exciting when the best players are on the field.
