Dez Bryant healthy, eager to play/O-Line hurting

Dallas Cowboys first-round pick Dez Bryant said he's ready to "unleash" his abilities in the regular-season Sunday against the Washington Redskins.
He's not expected to start at receiver against the Redskins but will see significant playing time on offense and punt returns and possibly kick returns.
"It's crazy, that's all I can say," Bryant said following Cowboys' practice Wednesday. "I'm just ready to get back on the field and play, because it has been a long time. I just feel like I'm just ready to unleash."
Bryant said his ankle is 100 percent and he's cutting and pushing off it with no problems.

Dallas Cowboys right tackle Marc Colombo and left guard Kyle Kosier missed practice again Wednesday because of knee injuries suffered during training camp, leaving little time for them to prove they are healthy enough to play this weekend.
Colombo is the surprise. He was supposed to have been back a week ago based on the initial timetable when he underwent arthroscopic surgery.
"If he doesn't practice this week, I would say he probably wouldn't play," coach Wade Phillips said.
Kosier sprained a ligament and is three weeks into a recovery that was expected to take 4 to 6 weeks.
Dallas has veteran backups for both: Alex Barron at right tackle and Montrae Holland at left guard.
