"Dez Bryant's a great player," coach Jason Garrett said. "He's one of the best players we have and one of the best in the league and he makes a huge difference for us.
"Sometimes, those guys aren't available to you, so the next guy has to go in there and play, and everyone has to do their job."
Furthermore, Cowboys rookie defensive end Randy Gregory will also be out four to six weeks, after spraining his ankle on Sunday night according to Clarence Hill of the Star-Telegram.
