Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Dez Bryant practiced for the first time since July 30 on Tuesday. Bryant, who had been out because of a high ankle sprain, already falls into the category of first-teamer without having played in an exhibition.
Coach Wade Phillips said he would prefer to use Bryant with the first-team offense. Because the first-team offense will not appear as a group in Thursday's exhibition against Miami, that makes it more likely that Bryant will not be used against the Dolphins.
Phillips said the more important factor with Bryant was his physical status. His work in practice will help the club set a plan aimed to having him ready for opening day, at Washington on Sept. 12.
