Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant is active and ready to go today against the Lions.

Bryant had been listed as questionable with the thigh injury he suffered in Week One, but Werder reports that Bryant has improved dramatically in the last few days and is much closer to 100 percent than he was on Monday night against the Redskins.

The Cowboys’ other usual starter, Miles Austin, was already declared out with a hamstring injury. ESPN’s Ed Werder reports that Laurent Robinson has moved ahead of Kevin Ogletree on the depth chart, and Robinson will be the Cowboys’ other starting receiver.
