IRVING, Texas -- As expected, All-Pro wide receiver Dez Bryant is not present for Tuesday’s opening minicamp practice amid his unresolved contract status.
Conversely, starting middle linebacker Rolando McClain has returned to Valley Ranch after choosing to rehab from knee surgery in his home state of Alabama during voluntary OTAs. Head coach Jason Garrett said McClain would participate in the walkthrough portion of practice but won’t have a rigorous workload.
Although the three-day minicamp is technically mandatory, Bryant is not obligated to show up because he’s not under contract, having yet to sign his one-year, $12.
