Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has been fined by the team for missing an MRI and team meetings on Tuesday, the Dallas Morning News reported.

Bryant missing the MRI explains why the hairline fracture Bryant has in his right knee wasn’t diagnosed until Wednesday. The report said Bryant showed up at the team’s facility Tuesday too late for an MRI to be performed.

Bryant was injured Sunday night vs. the Bears, and Cowboys players had Monday off. After the diagnosis, his status for Sunday’s game at the 49ers is uncertain.

The report did not state the amount of Bryant’s fine.
