Dez Bryant

Cowboys' Dez Bryant (knee) expected to miss Week 4

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant (knee) is not expected to play in Week 4's game against the San Francisco 49ers, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

What It Means:

There have been all kinds of reports swirling, but Schefter is as reliable a source as there is, and it's a safe bet that Bryant will not suit up on Sunday. Cole Beasley -- who already leads the team in targets -- should see an expanded role this week.

Bryant has had a slow start to the season, and ranks second on the Cowboys -- behind Beasley -- in both Reception Net Expected Points (NEP) and Reception NEP per target.
