Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant missed practice Wednesday with a rib injury. Bryant was not used as much in Week 2 as he was in Week 1, so this could partially explain that. Check back tomorrow to see if Bryant returns to practice. Rib injuries are often a lingering concern.

Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten (concussion) is expected to practice Wednesday after passing his concussion tests. Witten’s concussion looked very minor, as he was seen screaming at the Cowboys medical staff to let him back in last Sunday’s game against Chicago. He appeared woozy only for a few moments after hitting his head on the [...]

Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten left Sunday’s game with an apparent concussion, as the team fell 27-20 to Chicago. Witten hit his head on the turf after being tackled in the second half, but looked OK on the sidelines while pleading with the Cowboys’ medical staff to re-enter the game. He should be fine for [...]

Dallas Cowboys RT Marc Colombo (knee) and LG Kyle Kosier (knee) are both expected to return to practice on Wednesday, according to Mike Lombardi of NFL Network. Big news for Tony Romo, who will be glad to see penalty-machine Alex Barron return to the bench. This should be a boost for all Cowboys skill players [...]

Donovan McNabb led the Washington Redskins to a 13-7 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. The Redskins look like a completely different team fundamentally under new Coach Mike Shanahan, however they still lack talent on the offensive side of the ball. Their lack of weapons in the passing game outside of Santana Moss [...]

The Dallas Cowboys have signed WR Miles Austin to a six-year, $54 million extension, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Austin went from intriguing sleeper to top-5 wide receiver in one season, and the sky is the limit at this point. He should contend with Andre Johnson to be the #1 fantasy WR in 2010.

Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant returned to a full practice on Monday, as expected. Bryant will play against the Redskins on Sunday, but his role has yet to be determined. Don’t expect a lot of production right out of the gate as Bryant eases back in. It’s excellent news for Tony Romo though.

The San Diego Chargers have acquired WR Patrick Crayton from the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick in 2011. A good, low-risk addition for a Chargers team lacking depth at wide receiver, Crayton at the very least offers a better option as a #3 WR than injury-prone Craig Davis. This is good [...]

According to Owner Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant will be held out of the team’s preseason finale on Thursday. The team will rest its starters, so they don’t feel putting Bryant on the field will do any good. He’s still right on schedule for Week 1, and will play in three-receiver sets early [...]

Dallas Cowboys starting RT Marc Colombo is on schedule in his recovery from knee surgery and is expected to be ready for Week 1. Colombo will resume practicing next week, and should be ready to step back into the starting lineup for the opener. This is good news for Tony Romo.
