JUMbotron Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 http://www.thehuddle.com/fantasy_football_news.php Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (ankle) appeared to have injured his right ankle in a collision with CB Orlando Scandrick, reports Todd Archer, of The Dallas Morning News. Bryant was helped off the field by trainers. Huddle Up: David Moore of the Cowboys SportsDay blogger writes: "The injury occured when Bryant went over the middle trying to catch a ball thrown by Jon Kitna. He crashed to the turf, unable to make the play, and cornerback Orlando Scandrick landed on top of him. Bryant tried to get up twice under his own power and went back to the field. Two members of the training staff helped him off the field. He was clearly favoring his right ankle/leg." More news as we get it...

Big Country Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Clearly Roy Williams paid Scandrick to lay the extra hit. Guess bryant should have carried those pads afterall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) just watched video of the play. Hard to tell obviously the extent of the injury. MRI coming... Edited July 30, 2010 by HowboutthemCowboys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) just watched video of the play. Hard to tell obviously the extent of the injury. MRI coming... link to video I will speculate and say that the way they went down that I won't be surprised if the MRI shows a high ankle sprain...then again even if it is worse than expected I would look for the Cowboys to downplay it some.

kroyrunner89 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Assuming it's just a sprain and nothing is torn he'll be back to 100% in 3 weeks or so probably, I'd love to see this kid on the field in Week 1 at full strength... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUMbotron Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 http://www.thehuddle.com/fantasy_football_news.php Updating an ongoing story, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said WR Dez Bryant (ankle) will be out for four to six weeks, reports ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Huddle Up: Mortensen just tweeted it. The Cowboys kick off in 44 days on Sunday night September 12th at Washington. If Bryant's sprain is of the high variety it could be more like seven weeks and he'll miss the opener. Plus he wouldn't get any reps in training camp. Hopefully the injury is overdiagnosed and it turns out to be closer to four weeks. Thanks, JUM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 WIth all the hype that Bryant has been getting, he has been moving up in fantasy dratts. Wonder if this will depress his drafting stock and make him a value or if people will still be optmistic about a rookie WR? I bet they remain optimistic. Everyone loves an unproven rookie.

Avernus Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I say he doesn't get on track until week 8 or 9 after missing a likely 6 weeks unless he rushes it, we'll see him catch on a little bit later... I mentioned previously that I thought he would have injury problems (based on nothing and not even my hatred for the Cowboys, just a random gut feeling - the last time I had one like this, Vick was injured in pre-season vs the Ravens) but I didn't expect him to miss what might be the most important part of his season when it comes to being able to perform at a high level earlier on than what he's in for... and yeah, I'm psychic...

lennykravitz2004 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Everyone loves an unproven rookie. My lesson: Kevin Jones, RB, DET, 2004 Two times so far this year Bryant's made the news for the wrong reason(s). Was he on the cover of Madden too?

High ankle sprains are way worse than a three week injury. Especially for a WR. WIth all the hype that Bryant has been getting, he has been moving up in fantasy dratts. Wonder if this will depress his drafting stock and make him a value or if people will still be optmistic about a rookie WR? I bet they remain optimistic. Everyone loves an unproven rookie. Add in that he's regarded as the best wr in the draft and on a high powered offense and I also think people remain optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
