Maybe Drew Pearson has a point.

For all the excitement that Dez Bryant generates on the field, he doesn’t stay on the field enough. Matt Mosley of the FoxSportsSouthwest.com reports that Bryant and cornerback Terence Newman will both miss practice again on Thursday.

It looks like Newman will miss his second straight week. Bryant also missed practice Wednesday with a “thigh contusion” and his status for Sunday’s game against the 49ers looks to be in doubt.

Bryant missed four games last year and was at less than 100% for many more. He hurt his quad against the Jets and was gimpy for a large portion of the game.

UPDATE: Jerry Jones said Thursday Bryant will play. Newman will miss the game.
