Dallas’ Bryant injured

Rookie WR suffers high ankle sprain
 

SAN ANTONIO – Cowboys rookie receiver Dez Bryant could miss the rest of training camp after the first-round draft pick suffered a high right ankle sprain near the end of practice Friday. The team said he will be out four to six weeks.

Bryant became entangled with cornerback Orlando Scandrick while trying to catch a pass that was thrown behind him on the next-to-last play of the day. It quickly became apparent that something was wrong.

Bryant didn’t immediately get up, and when he finally did gingerly get to his feet while taking his helmet off, he took only a step before falling back to the turf.

The injury could keep Bryant from playing until the regular season. The season opener is Sept. 12 at Washington.

After Bryant had been evaluated by doctors, the team announced in a camp update more than two hours after practice that he would be out the extended time.
