Dez Bryant: The Cowboys' most indispensable player

FRISCO, Texas -- Dez Bryant has replaced Tony Romo as the most indispensable player on the Dallas Cowboys roster.

No one can replicate his athleticism, production or playmaking ability.

The 27-year-old receiver, who suffered a hairline fracture in his tibia during the Cowboys' 31-17 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 3, is expected to miss up to three weeks.

This is a huge problem, starting with Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, because this team is built around its offense, and Bryant is the only player who makes everybody better.
