He made a couple of really big plays in the ballgame early for us, running the 9 route, making the play over his head and then catching a slant and breaking a couple of tackles to score. Not only did he make those plays, but he made a number of other plays in the game. I think he's grown. I think he's playing with a great deal of confidence. He and (Tony Romo) have a really, really good relationship. They're seeing the field the same way. He's been good. There's no question about that."

I'm going to get that out there right now. I'm playing New Orleans. We're just going to be careful with it throughout the week and get ready for the game."

Bryant plans on being in the starting lineup in Week 15; however, he also accepts that he'll likely have limited flexibility in that finger for the rest of his life and will have to fight through excruicating pain for the rest of the season.
Fri, 14 Dec 2012 15:06:25 -0800 The Dallas Cowboys have fixed a solution to protect WR Dez Bryant's (finger) broken finger. It will allow him to catch passes in Week 15, but it will also be a matter of pain tolerance for him.

Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:43:46 -0800 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant's (finger) finger has improved this week, and the swelling in his finger has subsided. He'll wear extra protection for his finger in Week 15. However, head coach Jason Garrett is calling Bryant a game-time decision. "I feel like with my finger it is a mental thing," Bryant said. "I felt like if I go out there and am worrying about my finger, about catching the football, there is no need for me to be out there. I went out today in practice as if there wasn't anything wrong with my finger. I feel like that's my mindset about it."
Fri, 14 Dec 2012 11:16:34 -0800 Dallas Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said the team won't do anything to jeopardize WR Dez Bryant's (finger) future in the wake of his broken left index finger that will require surgery. However, Bryant said he still plans to play in Week 15 despite the diagnosis. "We sure wouldn't do anything if we really felt like it was going to compromise his long-term career," Jones said on. "Dez has got a bright career in front of him. He's obviously growing from a maturity point right before everybody's eyes. He's understanding the game better and playing well on the field."

Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:51:04 -0800 Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said the team is giving WR Dez Bryant (finger) every chance to play in Week 15 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bryant hasn't caught passes this week and won't do so Thursday, Dec. 13, because his finger is still swollen. The club is confident that he can play this weekend because he caught a touchdown pass last week after fracturing his finger and having it taped together with his middle finger. Fantasy Tip: Obviously, check back Sunday to make sure Bryant is starting. If he is, you'll be hard pressed to bench him unless you have other studly options at wideout.

The team's medical staff will attempt to devise a means of protecting the finger that also enables Bryant to function at the position. It is uncertain whether Bryant will take part in practice; however, the Cowboys will have him catch some passes to determine how to proceed.

"Unless the doctors say he medically can't do it, Dez is going to play," the source said. Bryant is dealing with significant swelling and the flexibility in his finger could be compromised for the rest of his career if he plays. Pain tolerance isn't the issue. The team has to take into consideration how Bryant can be protected and whether he'll effectively be able to catch the ball with protection on his finger.
Tue, 11 Dec 2012 08:56:02 -0800 Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the final decision on whether to undergo season-ending surgery on his left index finger will be up to WR Dez Bryant (finger).

"The reason for the surgery is because you could have life-lasting stiffness there." The team is still evaluating Bryant's medical reports, and Bryant is adamant about playing through the injury.
Tue, 11 Dec 2012 08:55:41 -0800 Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said no decision has been on whether WR Dez Bryant (finger) will have surgery on his finger. "He's chomping at the bit and wants to take the route of playing," Jones said.

Mon, 10 Dec 2012 13:59:14 -0800 Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said there is a 50-50 chance on WR Dez Bryant (finger) playing again this season. Bryant is visiting with a hand specialist.
Mon, 10 Dec 2012 13:20:32 -0800 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (finger) could miss the rest of the season pending the results from a hand specialist. His injured finger may need to be operated on. Fantasy Tip: This would be a tough loss to a Cowboys team battling to make it into the playoffs. If Bryant needs surgery and is forced to miss the rest of the season, expect Miles Austin and Jason Witten to become a much bigger part of the offense. Kevin Ogletree could regain some of the early-season value he had when Witten and Austin weren't healthy.
Mon, 10 Dec 2012 04:59:30 -0800 Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant caught all four of his targets in the second half of Week 14, including a 27-yard touchdown reception. Bryant has caught over 76 percent of his targets, including all nine of his touchdowns, in the second half this season.

He was able to return, and caught a fourth quarter touchdown pass. "I tossed the ball a little bit before I ran back in to see if it was OK," Bryant said. "Hey, I felt OK, so I went back into the game." Fantasy Tip: Bryant now has seven touchdown grabs in five games, and he went over 1,000 yards. The team hadn't had a 1,000-yard receiver in two years. In addition, his 2,517 yards make him 20th on the team's all-time list, and his 24 touchdowns make him 12th. He is quickly moving up the charts, and his hot play has moved him well up the fantasy rankings, too.
