FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant, who avoided having an MRI initially because he was fearful the results would reveal bad news about his right leg injury,?is not expected to play Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Thursday.Coach Jason Garrett confirmed Thursday that Bryant missed an MRI, a treatment session and two team meetings. Bryant didnt undergo the MRI until Wednesday, and he was diagnosed with a hairline fracture of his tibial plateau in his right leg near the knee, according to a source.Garrett remains hopeful that Bryant, who did not practice for the fourth straight day Friday, could still play against the 49ers on Sunday.Bryant posted a message on Twitter on Thursday, saying he understood the consequences. He also said he was day to day and got great feedback from Dr. James Andrews about his injury.Garrett said the team had indirect conversations with Bryant during his absence, but he did not elaborate how. The coach also did not answer whether Bryant would be fined, other than to say there would be repercussions and that Bryant was completely well intended in his actions.Hes a very, very passionate person. He loves football. He loves this team. Hes a driven guy and his response to this was not the right one, Garrett said. It was an understandable response given his personality and everything he puts into this.Hes an emotional person and he didnt handle it the right way. What we have to do as a team is we have to handle it the right way. We understand where he was coming from and then we address it, we solve it, we move on. Thats how we handle things here. And thats what weve done.Bryant suffered the injury Sunday when his knee and ankle got caught under Bears linebacker Christian Jones during a tackle on the second play of the game from scrimmage. He had X-rays after the game and, according to Garrett, received information that had him suspecting it was a serious injury.The frustration of possibly missing significant time for the second straight year was apparently too much.It stems from someone who is very passionate about what he does, and he did not handle this the right way, Garrett said. He expressed that to me. He expressed that to other coaches and teammates. You can understand why he did what he did, given the passion that he has for the game and for this football team and where he thought he was.Im not excusing any behavior that he has. We address it. We solve it. We move on. There are repercussions for his action, and we move forward.Bryant had surgery to repair a broken right foot after last years season opener and missed the next five games (seven total). He also had a second bone graft during the offseason to help stabilize his foot.Were hopeful by the end of the week that he can do something, Garrett said. Hes moving around better and better. But again, well take his situation day by day.If Bryant cant play Sunday, Brice Butler, who has one catch for 16 yards in three games, would move into the starting lineup.Jose Juan Barea Mavericks Jersey .

This weeks panel comprises Jason Sobel, Bob Harig, Jonathan Coachman and Michael Collins, as well as FantasyGolfInsiders Jeff Bergerson, Zach Turcotte, Taras Pitra and Jason Rouslin.Note: Golfer salaries listed are for DraftKings.Jason Sobel -- Jordan Spieth ($10,600)One year ago, Spieth missed the cut at the first two playoff events, only to win the Tour Championship and still claim the FedEx Cup. He learned a lesson from that: Its not how you start the playoffs; its how you finish em. Ive felt that Spieth has just been pacing himself over the past three tournaments -- and he even admitted as much. Now its time to finish strong, though. If he does, he could be the first back-to-back FedEx Cup champion.Bob Harig -- Jordan Spieth ($10,600)The defending champion is motivated by the off year talk and would dearly love to end the season with a victory here. It wont guarantee him the FedEx Cup, but itll put him in position to claim it again if others falter.Michael Collins -- Dustin Johnson ($11,700)Now that the PGA Tour will switch the nines (finishing the Tour Championship on a par-5 instead of a par-3 at East Lake), expect DJ to be part of the fireworks in the final round since hes got a Sunday scoring average of 68.7. Last year, Johnson dropped a Sunday 64 and in 2013 he shot four rounds in the 60s. Hes got 10 million reasons to play well.Jonathan Coachman -- Jordan Spieth ($10,600)Last year, Spieth came to the Tour Championship not in form and he promptly left the field behind, making Henrik Stenson look average. I think Spieth gets two straight at East Lake and sets the stage for a huge 2017. Spieth is my guy this week.Jeff Bergerson -- Charl Schwartzel ($7,700)For a while this season, Schwartzel was too cheap, and we made sure he was in our lineups. Well, that time has come again, as he is only $7,700 this week for the Tour Championship. Schwartzel has four top 10s this season, including a win at the Valspar Championship. He onlly has one appearance at East Lake, and I think that will affect his ownership.dddddddddddd If you are selecting Dustin Johnson at the top, Charl will be in the ideal price range as a player to pair with him, and I think he has some really nice upside for GPPs.Zachary Turcotte -- Kevin Na ($6,500)Is Kevin Na going to win this week? It is highly unlikely. However, in terms of crafting a winning strategy, it is going to be essential to have the winner on your roster this week. Since the winner is probably going to be one of the elite stars (Johnson, Spieth, etc.), you will more than likely need to utilize a stars and scrubs methodology this week when building your teams. A great place to start near the bottom pricing tier is Kevin Na at $6,500. He has plenty of experience at East Lake, and while his performances have not been stellar, they have not been awful either. Na should be able to handle the many par-4 holes well and keep his mistakes to a minimum to keep him in the middle of the pack with potential for a Top-10 finish.Taras Pitra -- Phil Mickelson ($8,100)Phil has had some strong performances at East Lake over his never-ending career, and a fluke win after the year hes had could be in the cards this week. Its interesting to see how well hes playing in most facets of his game and yet hes failed to win this season. He has been the runner up in three events, T-3 at the Career Builder (his first event of the year) and T-4 at Quail Hollow. Im not shoving all of my chips in because hes burned me a lot since The Open, but the majority of my chips are in on Phils first win of 2016 coming this week and at a very nice discount.Jason Rouslin -- Brandt Snedeker ($7,500)A former Fed Ex Cup winner, and Tour Championship winner, Brandt comes off a decent performance finishing in a T-13 two weeks ago at Crooked Stick. Pair that with two other top fives in his last six starts, and good form paired with good stats could help him walk off with a win here. Brandt may make a final push for that coveted Ryder Cup spot, so look for him to be in the running come Sunday at East Lake. ' ' '
