Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant continues to make progress on his way back to fully participating at practice with his teammates.

On Thursday, Bryant hit the practice fields of Valley Ranch with his shoulder pads and helmet to do rehab work off to the side with a trainer. Per Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News, it was mostly resistance-chord training for Bryant.

This was the first time Bryant has been spotted on the field in football gear during the open media session of practice. He had previously been spotted without a foot bracing or support walking around the practice facility.

Bryant is rehabbing his way back after breaking the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during the season opener. Head coach Jason Garrett suggested earlier in the week that it would be best for Bryant to practice with the team before playing in his first game since the injury.

The Cowboys are on a bye this week and don't practice again until next Wednesday. For now, it appears Bryant is taking his rehab work day by day with a Week 7 or Week 8 return date in sight.
