Cowboys' Bryant to miss finale

Dez Bryant's injury-plagued season is Bud Dupree Youth Jerseyending early, and the Dallas receiver faces the likelihood of more surgery on the right foot he broke in the opener. Coach Jason Garrett said Wednesday that Bryant was still having issues with the foot and his left ankle, and that the Cowboys ''anticipate him having something done to both the foot and the ankle here in the next week or so.'' Bryant will miss the finale against Washington on Sunday with the Cowboys (4-11) eliminated from the playoffs and http://www.steelersnflofficialonline.com/Authentic-Bud-Dupree-Jerseythe Redskins (8-7) already in as NFC East champions. The 2014 All-Pro missed five games after getting hurt in the second half of the opener against the New York Giants. He played in eight straight games while also dealing with soreness in his left knee before sitting last week against Buffalo after Dallas' playoff hopes had ended. But Garrett wouldn't say the http://www.steelersnflofficialonline.com/Authentic-Bud-Dupree-Jerseydecision with Bryant had anything to do with the Cowboys' final two games being meaningless in the standings for both teams. ''We try to make the determinations on the health of our players independent of where we are, who we're playing, what our record is and what the opposing team's record is,'' Garrett said. ''Dez did everything he could to come back and play as quickly as he could. We tried to do the right things as an organization by him like we would with any player.'' Bryant had surgery almost immediately after getting hurt, and Randy Gregory Elite Jerseythe Cowboys were told there was a chance he would need another one, the same way Atlanta's Julio Jones did after breaking the same bone in 2013. About a month later, Bryant underwent another procedure to try to speed the healing process. ''He came back pretty http://www.officialcowboysnflstore.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_RANDY_GREGORY_JERSEY.htmlquick, probably sooner than he should have,'' receiver Cole Beasley said. ''But that's the type of guy he is. He wants to be back and he wants to help the team win and do whatever is necessary. You admire the guy just for that.'' Bryant, who wasn't in the locker room when it was open to reporters Wednesday, finished with career lows across the board - catches (31), yards (401), touchdowns (three) and games (nine). Last season, he led the NFL with 16 touchdowns. The broken foot came after Bryant missed the entire offseason in a contract dispute. After signing a five-year, $70 million deal, he missed a significant portion of training camp with a hamstring issue.
