FRISCO, Texas (AP) _ Dez Bryant appeared in the locker room Thursday and seemed
to be in a good mood, which was more than the Dallas receiver could say for the
first two days of the week.
The 2014 All-Pro missed medical appointments and team meetings over two days
away from the Cowboys this week, and coach Jason Garrett said he was trying to
avoid news on his injured right knee that he thought would be bad but was better
than expected.
Bryant declined to comment but kept a steady presence in the locker room for
the 45 minutes it was open to reporters, at one point playing music loudly the
same way he did last season when he was out with a broken foot and had a
contentious relationship with the media. Later, he sat smiling on a counter
looking into the locker room while talking to a member of the public relations
staff. And then he took to Twitter to try to explain himself.
“I made a poor decision based on how I felt about my knee (and Garrett)
addressed it to me and I understood the consequences,” Bryant tweeted Thursday
afternoon. He also called himself “day to day.”
It’s possible Bryant won’t miss Sunday’s game at San Francisco because the
Cowboys have had similar scenarios with injury in the past. But he has missed
the first two days of practice this week, an indication he’s unlikely to play.
