Dez Bryant could return after Cowboys' bye
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a radio interview that wide receiver Dez Bryant (broken foot) has a chance to return following the team's Week 6 bye.
Well, that would be a pleasant surprise. Bryant's timeline for return has been all over the board, but Stephen Jones said the same thing two weeks ago. The team would still be without quarterback Tony Romo at that time because of his broken collarbone, but Bryant's return would be huge for the team's passing game.
It's impossible to overstate Bryant's value to the team. He was second in Reception Net Expected Points (NEP) per target among the 58 receivers who were targeted at least 80 times. Terrance Williams has filled in well enough in Bryant's absence as he currently sits 22nd in Reception NEP per target among the 54 receivers with at least 20 targets, but it's hard to measure up to Bryant's consistent level of production.
