APCowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday that Dez Bryant would make the ultimate decision about whether or not the wide receiver continues playing with the finger injury he suffered against the Bengals.
If that’s true, Bryant’s going to be in the lineup. He told Mike Fisher of Scout.com that the injury isn’t enough to keep him off the field.
“It would take more than this to take me out,” Bryant said. “No way. They’d have to break my leg to keep me out.”
If it just comes down to Bryant’s will, it sounds like he’ll be on the field. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s playing.
Fisher reports that Bryant is headed for another appointment with doctors after the memorial service for Jerry Brown on Tuesday and that Bryant is trying to “find a way” to keep playing with an injury that the Cowboys originally thought meant the end of Bryant’s season. The results of that appointment will likely shed more light on whether or not the Cowboys will have Bryant in the lineup again this season.

It’s about time he showed a love for the game, and not strippers and parties. Hope he is growing up. Finally, maybe, hope so.
Swag
Did he just put a bounty on himself?
Finally, a Cowboy with a little heart besides JW & Sean Lee.
I wouldnt say that Dez you’re playin Vilma and the Saints in two weeks.
Cowboys ganna destroy steelers. No ike! Dez, miles ganna rock it! Murray ganna run all over this old rickety defense! can’t wait!
And then the doctor will say that he can’t play and he’ll say “ok”.
Play injured for 3 games and never let it heal properly possibly affecting your entire career: Smart.
I’ll make that a reality for ya..

This guy plays with complete abandon, not a Cowboy fan but I have great respect for the way Bryant puts it all on the line.
Knock on wood, Dez. If you can’t find wood knock on your blockhead
Can’t stand him as a human being but man do I respect his game.
Harrison is washed up and washed out! he’d have to catch Dez first and we all know that aint happening!
When Dez is out of the league in 3 years and he is shopping at the Mall will it still be considered a “5 finger discount”?

If the Cowboys looked like legit contenders, I’d say go for it Dez. But since it seems likely their season ends early, think long-term Dez. They’re gonna need you the next 5 years more than the next 3 weeks.
The decision to play should be left to the doctors. Jerry Jones has put an unconscionable burden on Bryant by saying the decision was up to the player. Jerry Jones should stick to designing the cheerleaders’ outfits.

You mean the awful CB that Dez burns literally every time they play because Dez is a physical monster and D-Hall is a little punk? Okay.
I liked seeing D-Hall riding Anquan Boldin about 10 yards this weekend because he can’t tackle, and isn’t big enough to bring anyone down.
James Harrison can’t keep up with Dez Bryant and if he tries it will be the easiest 6 Dez has ever scored. Even easier than scoring on Asomugha lol

Shut up. We all know you’re just a Cowboys fan trying to make the Redskins fan base look bad. Anybody who’s ever seen DeAngelo Hall play knows he couldn’t break an egg.
I loathe Bryant and the Cowboys, but I admire his attitude on this subject. The man clearly wants to play. He has the talent. Now if he can just learn the playbook and keep his violence restricted to the field…
Wow, Jerry Jones and Bryant are even more stupid than I thought. I didn’t think that was possible.
Dez has really turned it around this year. From a dismal start not only on the field but off the field he was a complete distraction. Glad to see the young man getting his priorities straight.
BEAST!
If you had the Saints this week, I would say good call. Give them a week — they’ll get you then.
Dez is a BEAST!
Ronnie Lott whispered in Dez’s ear: ” cut it off ”
A broken leg didn’t stop Greg Jennings Dez! He did it for Madden!
I don’t know if you guys have noticed, but the Steelers and Saints are pretty bad. Especially the Saints, with that dead-last in the NFL defense BY FAR.
Beast Mode Activated.
“Cut me Mick”
What do the doctors say?
wouldnt it be crazy if he actually broke his leg in the next game??
He caught a touchdown pass AFTER he broke his finger… yeah, he’s playing!
Maras pulling for the Rooneys in this one. Football royalty sticks together when possible. Go Steelers.
The kids growin up
Wait a minute. Do we actually have someone who calls themselves “kenstabler” bagging on Dez Bryants personal life? I’m not aware of Dez being associated with strippers and parties. Of course on the other hand, isn’t Ken Stabler pretty much regarded as a party boy drunk who had way too many connections to known gamblers? Aren’t all the whispers about point shaving and throwing games effecting his chances for Canton?
Got to love the irony.
Why is there no talk about Dez new mentor, Jay Novacek this year? Kids got unbelievable talent, but never had a stable force in his life guiding him before. Grew up in a terrible chaotic situation and was always given leniency because of his abilities… Now with some people actually looking out for Dez in place… He seems to be getting it.
I’m not a fan of the Cowboys (they broke Packers fans too many times in the early 90s to actually want to cheer for them) but it seems either people either hate or love the Cowboys and more hate them so the media doesn’t give much credit when they’re doing well the past few years.
