The Cowboys returned from their week off for a practice on Monday and it appears wide receiver Dez Bryant remains on track to make his return to the lineup after missing the last three games with a hairline fracture in his knee.
Bryant was on the field working with his teammates during Monday’s session and said last week that he feels ready for game action. The Cowboys don’t have to issue an injury report for Sunday’s game against the Eagles until Wednesday, but Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News reports that Bryant, who was limited in the team’s one bye week practice by a cut on his hand, was catching passes and running routes while the practice was open to the media.
Several other Cowboys who went into the bye week dealing with injuries returned to work, including cornerback Morris Claiborne and defensive end DaMarcus Lawrence.
Left tackle Tyron Smith did not practice as he continues to deal with the back injury that kept him out of two games. Quarterback Tony Romo also has not been cleared for practice yet, leaving Dak Prescott to continue adding to the strong case he’s already made to hold onto the job.
