EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant said he injured his thigh returning a punt early in the first quarter Sunday against the Jets.
Bryant said the thigh injury was "kind of bothering me, but I felt like I could push through, so I stayed in."
Bryant had three catches for 71 yards, all in the first eight minutes of the first quarter.
Bryant said he also cramped up during the game, having to go to the locker room in the second half. Bryant said his thigh is "nothing serious."
"It's just tight a little bit," Bryant said.
Bryant said he'll get treatment this week and should be fine for the game next week at San Francisco.
Bryant's season ended prematurely last year when he fractured his right fibula returning a kickoff Dec. 5 and missed the Cowboys' final four games.
