Bryant has visited this week with doctors and has decided to put off having surgery. Garrett said Thursday that the Cowboys would give Bryant every chance to play in Week 15. Garrett suggested that Bryant might be able to play because he caught a touchdown pass last weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals after breaking the finger.
Fantasy Impact: Fantasy owners will have to remain patient with Bryant, who appears to be headed for a game-time decision in Week 15.
Bryant should be considered a fringe No. 1/2 fantasy receiver until his status for Sunday is determined.
