But according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Bryant will likely undergo surgery on Monday, and his recovery may be closer to four weeks than six after being given his initial timetable. It's worth mentioning that the Cowboys have a Week 6 bye, which could influence the team to keep him out of action until Week 7 when they play their divisional rival New York Giants once again.
Fantasy Spin: Bryant’s owners can take solace in that he may not miss as much time as previously thought, but it likely won’t undo the blow to the confidence of their teams. Until his return, reports must be followed carefully to see if there’s any hope of him taking the field any sooner than anticipated.
For now, the fantasy value of Tony Romo has been dealt a massive blow in wake of his No. 1 receiver's injury, but a boost in value should be on the horizon for Terrance Williams and Jason Witten.
