Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant did not practice on Wednesday, but was spotted doing resistance training on the sideline, according to ESPN’s Todd Archer. Bryant was inactive for the Cowboys’ win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday with a tibial plateau fracture in his right leg. The two-time Pro Bowler injured his knee in Week 3 against Chicago.

The Cowboys have not given any indication as to whether Bryant will be able to play in the team’s matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Owner Jerry Jones said he “wouldn’t rule out” the seven-year wideout to play on Sunday, according to Drew Davison of The Star-Telegram.
Bryant is considered questionable for Week 5.
Fantasy Impact: Bryant’s fantasy owners have good reason to be concerned that the WR is not in practice on Wednesday. He missed Week 4 after the Cowboys’ seemed optimistic that he would be able to play. Bryant should be considered a 50/50 shot of playing as of now.
Owners should keep an eye on backup receiver Brice Butler this week. He caught five passes for 41 yards and a touchdown, and led all Cowboys receivers in snaps played against the 49ers on Sunday. Expect to see more action from Butler this Sunday if Bryant sits again this week.
