An MRI confirmed the team's fear of a high ankle sprain. Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones had expressed hope that Bryant, who had a spectacular start to training camp, would be out for only a few days or a week.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to SI.com's Peter King, Cowboy executives have instead been told that Bryant will likely ready for regular-season opener which is six weeks and two days from Friday, when the rookie sprained his ankle. Still, as King wondered, would the Cowboys play Bryant immediately after such a prolonged absence? Probably not. And even though he won't miss many regular-eason games, the real issue will be the time missed in camp getting on the same page with Tony Romo and establishing himself as the starter opposite Miles Austin. ... In other words, Roy Williams gets a reprieve -- at least early on.
