S. Jones: Dez Bryant 'on target' to return by bye week

Oct 03, 2015

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones recently provided the latest rehab update for Randy Gregory [ankle] and Dez Bryant [foot].

"They're doing well," Jones told Ben and Skin Friday afternoon. "We're on the timeline. The goal all along has been to try to get them back by the bye, so far they're on target."

The Cowboys bye comes in Week 6. They travel to New York to take on the Giants in Week 7.

Fantasy Impact:

Despite numerous reports Bryant could miss 8 or 12 weeks or even the season, the Cowboys continue to say Bryant could be back for Week 7 after the team's Week 6 bye. It's been hard to decide who to believe in this injury situation, but if you chose to trust the team, Bryant could be back in a few weeks. We'll continue to monitor.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
