The Cowboys may've stunned the Giants (and their inability to do basic math) last Sunday night, but they still took an L when it came to the injury report as Dez Bryant was listed as being out for about a month with a broken foot. Well we've got good news and bad news about that.

No wait, actually only bad news.

Turns out Bryant needed a bone graft during Monday's surgery, which more than doubles the estimate for his return. What was once four-to-six weeks is now 10-12. That means Bryant could be out until after Dallas' annual Thanksgiving game.

Adjust your expectations and fantasy rosters accordingly.
