The Dallas Cowboys are optimistic that wide receiver Dez Bryant will play Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.

The Dallas Cowboys were hopeful that if they went .500 while quarterback Tony Romo and wide receiver Dez Bryant recovered form injuries, they could make a late season push at an NFC East title and playoff spot.

That hasn’t been the case and as the Cowboys prepare to welcome the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday, it is hard to be certain this will be the game they’ll get back to their winning ways.

But the Cowboys are getting reinforcements, after flirting with returning to action last week, the Cowboys are optimistic that Dez Bryant will play this Sunday.

How effective Bryant will be coming off an injury remains to be seen, and fantasy football owners might need to hold off their optimism as they decide whether or not to place him in the line up. He is going to be catching balls from Matt Cassel who has just one start with the Cowboys and limited repetitions with Bryant.

Bryant’s impact on the Cowboys’ offense will be more noticeable surely. Bryant is a dangerous weapon who will draw attention and possibly free up Jason Witten and the running game.
