Dez Bryant's injury has cast a dark cloud on the Cowboys season however hope is on the horizon. Stephen Jones stated in an interview that Dez Bryant has a "real shot" to play against the Giants in 3 weeks.

The Cowboys know that they will likely face the defending Super Bowl champs without Bryant or their main weapons which already puts them behind the 8 ball. A Bryant return against a division rival could jumpstart this team's offense again especially as the keys would likely be handed over to Tony Romo before week 11.

The Cowboys are struggling to find offensive playmakers especially now that Lance Dunbar has a season ending injury. With Dunbar out expect the offense to get the most out of Brice Butler, Devin Street, Terrance Williams, Cole Beasley and Christine Michael.

Williams has been filling in as Bryant's wide receiving replacement but even Williams will have to acknowledge that he does not have the hands of his superstar teammate even though he caught what should have been a game winning touchdown in the Cowboys week 4 matchup. But it has not just been one aspect of this team that is suffering from injury it's all aspects.

Special teams and the offense get even thinner with Dunbar's injury and the defense is still waiting for their star second round pick Randy Gregory to return from a high ankle sprain. Simply put the Cowboys need to get healthy, and that can all start with Dez Bryant.
