and ESPN's Chris Mortensen is reporting that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones say Bryant
will miss 4-6 weeks.

Clipped from the ESPN article by Tim McMahon: Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver
Dez Bryant suffered a right high ankle sprain near the end of Friday's practice,
and the team said he will be out 4-6 weeks.
That means Bryant could miss the entire preseason.
The injury occurred after cornerback Orlando Scandrick broke up a pass intended
for Bryant on the second-to-last play of practice. Backup quarterback Jon Kitna
threw the ball slightly behind Bryant on a crossing route, and Scandrick made a
good play on the ball and landed on Bryant's leg.

It would appear that Bryant will be missing crucial time for a rookie WR. He'll be
able to have his "head" in practice mentally taking reps and such but not being able
to physically be on the field in August is a big blow. I've had high hopes for the
guy but this is clearly a setback. Let's see how this develops and what kind of real
further medical diagnosis we see here. But right now, this looks like
a significant setback for Bryant's development. At least in the short term window.
