Usually, road teams adjust their injury reports after the team flight takes off, with players who didn’t make the road trip being downgraded from “questionable” or “doubtful” to “out.” But in the case of Dez Bryant, the Cowboys are still saying there’s a chance he could play tomorrow against the Giants, even though he wasn’t on the team flight to New Jersey.
A Cowboys spokesman told the Dallas Morning News that Bryant could still fly to New Jersey on his own and hasn’t been downgraded from “doubtful” to “out.”
Maybe all Bryant needed was a little more rest, and his injured foot is going to feel so much better today that he can make it onto the field tomorrow. Or maybe the Cowboys are just playing games with the injury report and want to wait as long as they can to rule Bryant out, so that the Giants’ defense will have to prepare for the possibility of him playing.
Either way, it’s extremely unlikely that Bryant will be on the field tomorrow. It’s just not official that he’s out. Yet.
