Mon, 07 May 2012 10:31:16 -0700 The Dallas Cowboys are trying to offer WR Dez Bryant a more structured offseason this year as opposed to last season when they could not talk with him. The team is having Bryant focus more on football and less on his finances. Bryant has dealt with off-field issues in previous offseasons.
Wed, 02 May 2012 05:59:32 -0700 Dallas Cowboys CB Morris Claiborne said he would like to play as a wide receiver, in addition to cornerback. "I would love to be a two-way player," Morris Claiborne said. "If they gave me that chance to be able to go both sides of the ball, I'll love it and I won't turn it down. I get in and give it 100 percent." Claiborne is looking forward to working alongside WRs Miles Austin and Dez Bryant. "I'm very excited to get right in and get around those guys. Try to learn as much as I can learn from the receiver standpoint to the cornerback standpoint, and both of those guys are great, big receivers, and I'm looking forward to getting some work in with them so they can make me better."
Thu, 08 Mar 2012 10:54:20 -0800 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant has agreed to restructure his contract. The Cowboys have taken his $1.435 million roster bonus and turned it into a signing bonus which will allow the team to spread the cap hit over the life of the contract.

"I have had communication but I haven't talked to him directly," Jones said. "I've been too busy. It was not a significant enough thing to me....I just didn't have the time and didn't want to make the emphasis with him. It was just not something I felt like I needed to run him down and talk to him about."
Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:31:35 -0800 Former Dallas Cowboys WR Michael Irvin said he believes WR Dez Bryant can be the best wide receiver in the NFL if works on improving his conditioning and receiving skills.

When Dez really locks it all in, understands it, Dez will be the best receiver in the NFL."

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:38:24 -0800 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant had six receptions for 70 yards in Week 17 against the New York Giants. Bryant finished 72 yards short of his first 1,000-yard season, posting 63 grabs for 928 yards and nine touchdowns in 15 games.

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 07:53:20 -0800 The return of Dallas Cowboys WR Miles Austin has decreased the role of WR Dez Bryant. In the four games Austin missed, QB Tony Romo targeted Bryant 34 times with passes. Over the last two games in which Austin has played, Romo has only attempted six passes to Bryant. Romo has thrown to Austin 15 times over the last two games.
Thu, 15 Dec 2011 12:49:12 -0800 Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Aqib Talib (hamstring) will play in Week 15 versus the Dallas Cowboys, and he will match up against WR Dez Bryant. "I'm ready," Talib said. "I'm feeling good. I'm always looking forward to covering the other team's best receiver."
Wed, 14 Dec 2011 08:25:02 -0800 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant saw some double coverage in Week 14 because the team did not put him in motion during the game which did not allow him to get consistent touches. The team has said Bryant knows the offense but have not put him in motion.
Sun, 11 Dec 2011 21:32:29 -0800 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant did not have a reception until the fourth quarter of the Week 14 game against the New York Giants, and he finished with just one grab. However, that catch was good for a 50-yard touchdown. Bryant has scored four times in the past five games, and eight times overall through 13 games.
Sun, 04 Dec 2011 20:06:41 -0800 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant had eight receptions for a team-high 86 yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals. Bryant has visited the end zone in three of his past four games.
Thu, 01 Dec 2011 07:01:50 -0800 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant could receive less playing time upon the return of WR Miles Austin (hamstring). The unexpected emergence of WR Laurent Robinson since Austin's injury may make it hard for Robinson to be removed from the starting lineup.
Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:50:00 -0800 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant is expected to serve as the full-time punt returner in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals. He'll replace WR Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, who had served as the primary punt returner in the past few weeks, but was released Wednesday, Nov. 30.
Wed, 30 Nov 2011 09:19:01 -0800 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant is expected to be the team's primary punt returner for the rest of the season because of the release of WR Akwasi Owusu-Ansah and the expected return of WR Miles Austin (hamstring).

Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:58:29 -0800 Dallas Cowboys receivers coach Jimmy Robinson said Wednesday, Nov. 23, that WR Dez Bryant can be a Pro Bowler, and he is still a "work in progress." Robinson is encouraged by Bryant's development, especially his work ethic. "I think he's making progress," Robinson said. "He's got a long way to go. He know it, we know it, but the great thing about Dez is he comes to work every day trying to improve. He practices really well. He practices hard and tries to improve, and he has a great attitude about that."
Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:05:21 -0800 Dallas Cowboys RB Felix Jones (ankle) could return kickoffs along with WRs Kevin Ogletree and Akwasi Owusu-Ansah in Week 11 against the Washington Redskins. Jones could play in his first game since a four-game absence. WR Dez Bryant said he will lobby for his chance to return punts.
Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:12:02 -0800 Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said WR Akwasi Owusu-Ansah will continue to return kickoffs and punts after his first action in the roles in Week 10 against the Buffalo Bills. The team had been using WRs Dez Bryant and Kevin Ogletree on returns.
Mon, 14 Nov 2011 08:00:58 -0800 Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said WR Dez Bryant has been at times frustrating but also very exciting to watch during his short tenure with the team. However, Jones expected as much when he drafted Bryant. "He has been frustrating and he has been elating," Jones said. "And so it's exactly what we thought when we drafted him right to the T. And so if we didn't plan on having a little frustration we should have gone a different direction. No surprises with him."
Sun, 13 Nov 2011 14:02:24 -0800 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant caught six passes for 74 yards and one touchdown against the Buffalo Bills in Week 10.
Sat, 12 Nov 2011 10:56:16 -0800 The Dallas Cowboys could use WR Kevin Ogletree or CB Terence Newman as their punt returner in Week 10. WR Dez Bryant could also be an option but the team may not want to use him since WR Miles Austin (hamstring) is not playing.
Mon, 07 Nov 2011 07:31:05 -0800 Dallas Cowboys WR Kevin Ogletree could become the team's primary punt returner if the team decides to remove WR Dez Bryant from that role.
Mon, 07 Nov 2011 07:26:29 -0800 Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said WR Dez Bryant may see less time as a punt returner with the injury to WR Miles Austin (hamstring). "I'm still concerned when we had him back there about his injury, especially that now that Miles may be or may not be out a couple of games," Jones said.
Fri, 04 Nov 2011 07:51:33 -0700 Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo defended WR Dez Bryant when asked about his sideline antics in the team's Week 8 loss. Bryant was seen throwing his helmet during an apparent rant. Romo said he had no problem with Bryant's emotions. "Dez is great," Romo said. "His emotion, there is never a negative emotion that comes from it. It's just positive consistently. He's just a kid who loves playing the game. He's passionate. But there is never any malice or anything negative involved. Cameras can catch whatever they want; he is never mean to another person or anything like that. He just wants to win and he's excited about being out there playing. We're lucky to have him." Romo added Bryant is a great teammate.
Tue, 01 Nov 2011 06:25:40 -0700 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant has yet to learn how to run proper routes in the NFL, and as a result the Cowboys' offense has been somewhat predictable. Until Bryant develops some discipline in his route running, QB Tony Romo isn't going to trust him. Bryant also needs to figure out how to beat press coverage by a defensive back. Philadelphia Eagles CB Nnamdi Asomugha had his way with Bryant in Week 8.
Mon, 31 Oct 2011 07:24:02 -0700 Dallas Cowboys WR Laurent Robinson leads the team's wide receivers in 100-yard games this season with two. WR Miles Austin has just one 100-yard game, while WR Dez Bryant has none.
Sun, 30 Oct 2011 21:59:04 -0700 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant had just three receptions for 28 yards in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. His first catch didn't come until well into the second half, and he was visibly frustrated, especially on a play near the end zone where he felt he was being held by Eagles CB Nnamdi Asomugha.
Thu, 27 Oct 2011 10:58:45 -0700 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (foot) injured his foot during practice Thursday, Oct. 27, but was running without any apparent problems on the sidelines after leaving the field.
Wed, 26 Oct 2011 07:44:34 -0700 Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said he is concerned about using WR Dez Bryant on punt returns on a full-time basis for fear of risking injury. "Now, the game is one that you risk injury on every play, but because he just refuses to go down – which is a great thing about him – then you've got to watch using that in situations like kick returns," Jones said. "We'll monitor that as the year goes. We'll play that by ear as to when he'll actually return the ball. We've got to watch him."
Tue, 25 Oct 2011 06:42:00 -0700 All indications are that Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant has taken over punt return duties full-time again. Bryant was back for all five punts in Week 7.
Mon, 24 Oct 2011 11:44:39 -0700 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant was on the field for all five of the punt return opportunities in Week 7 and it appears Bryant may be the full-time returner moving forward.
Mon, 24 Oct 2011 06:23:12 -0700 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant had his best second-half performance of the season during the team's Week 7 victory. Bryant entered the matchup with only two second-half grabs for a total of 50 yards. In Week 7, however, he caught four passes after halftime, totaling 56 yards and a touchdown. Bryant admitted that his preparation was much better.
Sun, 23 Oct 2011 17:17:15 -0700 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant had five receptions for a game-high 90 yards and a score in Week 7 against the St. Louis Rams. Bryant has now found the end zone three times over his past three games.
Sat, 22 Oct 2011 06:25:11 -0700 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant said he believes the NFL is an easier league to play in than college because of the types of coverages he faces. "I really think the pros is much easier. The reason I say that is because in college I didn't see too much man, too much one-on-one," Bryant said. "I always got double-teamed and a lot of zone coverages. When I see that one-on-one in the league, my eyes get big. I start visualizing what I'm going to do after the play."
Sat, 22 Oct 2011 06:22:09 -0700 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant said he believes the team can't be defeated. According to Bryant, the Cowboys have simply been beating themselves this season. "As far as the team, I like our chances. I feel like, it may sound crazy, I think we are unbeatable," Bryant said. "I think the losses, we lost those games ourselves. I feel like once we get back in that meeting room and regroup, and we learn from our mistakes, the sky's the limit."
Fri, 21 Oct 2011 12:14:44 -0700 The Dallas Cowboys are expected to use WR Dez Bryant as a punt returner in Week 7 when the St. Louis Rams are back deep into their own territory because of his ability to make plays.
Fri, 21 Oct 2011 06:31:46 -0700 Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo said it is so difficult to get the ball to WR Dez Bryant more often, particularly late in games, because defenses are focusing so much of their attention on Bryant. Opponents continue to double Bryant inside the red zone. "When it's one-on-one, (throwing the fade to Bryant) is what we're going to do," Romo said. "When they have a safety and they get two guys, it's not a good matchup." Bryant has caught only two passes after halftime this season and has been targeted only twice inside the 10-yard line.
Thu, 20 Oct 2011 10:28:22 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray, WRs Dez Bryant and Kevin Ogletree and CB Terence Newman worked on returning punts during practice Thursday, Oct. 20.
Thu, 20 Oct 2011 06:44:17 -0700 Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said the team must be careful on how often WR Dez Bryant is used as a punt returner because he is also a starting wide receiver. "We feel like he's a dynamic returner; at the same time, he's our starting X receiver, so you've got to be selective how you use those guys in the return game," Garrett said. "He has to continue to catch punts and even catch some kickoffs as well. If he's needed to do that, he has to be ready to do that."
Wed, 19 Oct 2011 18:41:30 -0700 Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys WR Kevin Ogletree is likely to handle most of the punt returns in Week 7 against the St. Louis Rams. He is being looked at since WR Dez Bryant plays so much on offense, and CB Terence Newman is used so much on defense. "What we'd like to do (is) be able to to use those guys when we need to use them," head coach Jason Garrett said. "That's why they'll continue to be back there working in practice and be ready to do it in the game."
Wed, 19 Oct 2011 08:28:26 -0700 The Dallas Cowboys could use WRs Dez Bryant and Kevin Ogletree and CB Terence Newman as punt returners moving forward after the team released WR Dwayne Harris.
Wed, 19 Oct 2011 06:08:03 -0700 Part of the reason Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant has not been a factor late in games this season is because he does not have the full trust of QB Tony Romo. Bryant also does not know the playbook as well as he should. Head coach Jason Garrett also said a few weeks ago that Bryant's conditioning wasn't great because he's been out with a deep thigh bruise that he suffered in Week 1.
Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:54:15 -0700 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant will likely go back to sharing punt return duties with WR Kevin Ogletree and CB Terence Newman after the team released WR Dwayne Harris.
Mon, 17 Oct 2011 06:28:09 -0700 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant has made just two catches for 50 yards in the four second halves he's played this season. In Week 6, Dez Bryant failed to catch a pass after recording four receptions for 78 yards in the first half.
Sun, 16 Oct 2011 19:34:42 -0700 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (thigh) picked up a game-high 78 yards on four receptions in Week 6 against the New England Patriots.
