Dallas Receiver Bryant Could Be Out Longer With Foot Injury

(Reuters) - The Dallas Cowboys could be without star wide receiver Dez Bryant longer than initially expected after breaking a small bone in his foot in their win against the New York Giants last week, according to NFL.com.

Two-time Pro Bowler Bryant, 26, could miss between 10 and 12 weeks instead of the initial projection of four to six weeks after he required a bone graft as part of his surgery, the league's website reported on Sunday.

The talented wide receiver suffered a fracture in the bone running along the outside of his right foot during the opening game victory.
