Dez Bryant assisted off field with hurt ankle
Dez Bryant needed to be assisted off the practice field with an injured ankle at Cowboys training camp Friday. He is scheduled for an MRI.
This will put a dent into hyped rookie's fast start. The injury reportedly looked serious on the field, and occurred after a collision with Cowboys nickel back Orlando Scandrick on the second to last play of Friday's practice. For what it's worth, Scandrick believes Bryant "will be all right." Jul. 30 - 5:42 pm et

Romo had positive spin on Dez if it's nothing too serious - if he's out 2 weeks might be good for him, he can get his legs back under him.

All in all, I didn't sense any serious concerns on Bryant.

I love Scandrick but the guy needs to take it easy on the WRs in practice. Very similar thing happened last year between him and Roy Williams twice.

so.. what you're saying is, the guy has a chronic tendency to fail?

What I am saying is that he knock the mess out of you. Which is fine but I prefer he didn't do it to our starting WRs. The reports say that it was a clean play so I might be jumping on him a little too soon.

Dez told Corby (The Ticket) that he just rolled it.However, Scandrick mentioned that he felt Bryant was having trouble with the ankle before this incident.So, we'll see.

It sounds like it was the same ankle he has been taping up pretty heavily.

Time in camp is like dog years for a rookie WR. Took Nicks until late in the season to break the starting lineup after getting hurt in camp.

I had pretty much made up my mind to take him with the 1st overall in my RB heavy dynasty league. I am not super solid at RB but I feel like Dez is where it is at. I just want him on my team. I have the 1.06 pick too, maybe he will fall there to me.

Somehow now Roy Williams is better that his suckage of 2009?

The only way he falls to 1.06 is if they have to amputate his leg and even then it's not a guarantee.

The words "Roy Williams" and "steal" only make sense if "paycheck" is included in the sentence.

Seems like it's always something with this guy. 
1. Suspended in college for the year
2. Was said to be late for meetings/games in college
3. Shows up out of shape for his pro day, forgets shoes, somehow with a year off he was injured for the combine
4. In the news whining about the Dolphins GM
5. Not carrying pads and then gets all bent out of shape with the media blaming them for his alleged ignorance
6. Injured and now misses all of training camp
Nothing big like a Brandon Marshall obviously but this does look to be a pretty immature fella, immature for his age (probably just like Axl from the TV show the Middle)

If you can't distinguish that my saying he is immature was a separate point from him being injured then I suggest just trying to open your mind a bit and figuring it out on your own that those were separate issues, but maybe you were trying to point out how dumb I am, I do feel dumb having to clarify it for you.JamesT said:There's dumb.

from what i understand, you're here to point out supposed "character concerns" in an injury discussion thread... i think those concerns have been hammered out pretty well already in the multiple other threads. regardless, i think the confusion came about when you made one single list. you may want to include separate lists if you're trying to make separate points. that should prevent future confusion.If you can't distinguish that my saying he is immature was a separate point from him being injured then I suggest just trying to open your mind a bit and figuring it out on your own that those were separate issues, but maybe you were trying to point out how dumb I am, I do feel dumb having to clarify it for you.JamesT said:There's dumb.

I thought the separate numbers of things that have gone wrong for Bryant made his point pretty clear.from what i understand, you're here to point out supposed "character concerns" in an injury discussion thread... i think those concerns have been hammered out pretty well already in the multiple other threads. regardless, i think the confusion came about when you made one single list. you may want to include separate lists if you're trying to make separate points. that should prevent future confusion.If you can't distinguish that my saying he is immature was a separate point from him being injured then I suggest just trying to open your mind a bit and figuring it out on your own that those were separate issues, but maybe you were trying to point out how dumb I am, I do feel dumb having to clarify it for you.JamesT said:There's dumb.

Sorry it confused you, I am actually surprised that someone could think that getting injured was a character concern, seems like Apples and an asteroid circling between Jupiter and Mars to me.oh, so you understood his point! i'm so very happy for you.as i stated, wasn't so clear for me. please forgive me for the confusion and any trouble i may have caused.I thought the separate numbers of things that have gone wrong for Bryant made his point pretty clear.

So the season ends in 6 weeks ?So much for his impact this year.

Yeah, I know. It's my sign I need to take Matthews, it's RB heavy league, it's the "right" thing to do, I just don't feel it.

WR is one of the most difficult transition for rookies as is. Now Bryant will be missing what is probably the most critical 4 weeks of preparation for any rookie. On top of that Dal is loaded at the skill positions with other options. Plus, there is a reason people call it the "dreaded high ankle sprain." Those things don't go away until you give it lots of rest, which I doubt he will really get.So the season ends in 6 weeks ?So much for his impact this year.

Hopefully the Cowboys can give him enough time to heal due to their depth and then the ankle lingering isn't so much of an issue. IMHO Dez Bryant is a rare talent, very rare. I think his season ending numbers will suffer because of a slow start but I would be surprised if he isn't a difference maker in the second half of this season. He's simply that good and I think it will show eventually this year.

I think Crabtree is a bigger talent and already in the process of proving it. Calvin/Fitz/Andre/Moss/Roddy/Austin/etc; are very talented.I also think Peter Warrick, Charles Rodgers, Koren Robinson, Braylon Edwards, etc; were far greater talents and none of them lived up to their rare talent.
I think people are getting way ahead of themselves just assuming this guy is the next great thing, he very well might be, I just don't think he's one of the best 5 talents in the past 5 draft classes, I guess I am saying I don't see him as having "rare" talent. The one thing he has going for him is that he is already signed. He had like 3 fantastic catches in college with the one over his head, facing forward while running with arms stretched out being what I see as his ticket to fame. Mike Wallace has a better pro football highlight reel than Dez's college reel IMO.

Crabtree could be a bigger talent than Bryant, but I wouldn't go as far as saying he's done anything to prove it. He doesn't even have 1000 yards and 10 TD's in the NFL yet. Everything you say about Dez is true, we don't know if he'll do anything in the pros, we'll have to wait and see. I think this injury will definately slow down any fast start Bryant may have had in his rookie season. It's good for the Cowboys that they do have Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton to pick up any needed slack. I'd look for Bryant to emerge and start making an impact 1/4 to 1/2 way into the season. With the talent on the Cowboys and him being a rookie, I don't think his fantasy numbers will be consistent even when he starts making an impact on offense. It's a long season and the Cowboys are All In this year with the SB in Big D, they won't rush this guy back with all the talent they have on offense.
