Dallas Cowboys: Five players that must step up with Dez Bryant out

The bulk of the 2015 off-season was spent discussing and worrying over whether or not Dallas Cowboys All-Pro wide receiver Dez Bryant would sign a long-term deal or hold out of the team’s first game. As we all know, the deal was struck and Bryant played Sunday night.

But after Bryant suffered a broken foot against the New York Giants, one can’t help but wonder if it would have been better for Bryant to have held out. Obviously, this observation is made tongue-in-cheek but the reality is that in Bryant’s absence a number of Cowboys must step up their game.
