Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant received a special Jordan Brand cleat powered by Nike for his surgically repaired foot.

Bryant broke the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during the season open which required surgery and a bone grafting procedure. The wide receiver returned to the practice field just last week to do conditioning and rehab work with a trainer off to the side. Bryant was the recipient of a modified cleat, according to Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News.

"Nike re-worked Bryant's game cleats so that his right shoe is now wider than the left one. Nike made the right shoe wider for Bryant because they strengthened a plate that is already built into the outside of the shoe to better protect Bryant's foot when he returns to the field. "Cowboys athletic trainers have been working with sole inserts this week to give Bryant some extra cushion. On Wednesday during the Cowboys' open locker room session for the media, a team athletic trainer was seen going to Bryant's locker and putting in sole inserts in both of his game cleats."

Bryant's special cleat should help protect and prevent his foot from re-injury as he works his way back to the playing field. There's plenty of concern for the talented wide receiver if he returns too soon. Bryant didn't practice on Wednesday and his status is currently up in the air for Sunday's game against the Giants.
