Dez assisted off field, MRI coming

rotoworld,
Dez Bryant needed to be assisted off the practice field with an injured ankle at Cowboys training camp Friday. He is scheduled for an MRI.

This will put a dent into hyped rookie's fast start. The injury reportedly looked serious on the field, and occurred after a collision with Cowboys nickel back Orlando Scandrick on the second to last play of Friday's practice. For what it's worth, Scandrick believes Bryant "will be all right."

He has a sprained ankle.

High ankle or low ankle, that is the question?

I saw the collision and tangle on NFLN, so I'd have to guess a low ankle sprain. Could be wrong, but I've had so many low ankle sprains (to the point where my ankle tendons are basically loose rubber bands) from playing basketball I'm fairly familiar with the injury.

The thread title is going to give some folks in early draft dynasty leagues a brief fright. Good thing it is only an ankle.

It was a high ankle sprain.

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.

That was what I was worried about when I heard MRI. That usually signals a little more concern about an ankle injury.
