The NFL may be the “No Fun League,” but the Cowboys aren’t the “No Fun Team.”

Two days after suffering a hamstring injury that some believed happened when he dunked the ball over the goalpost during 7-on-7 drills, the Cowboys say receiver Dez Bryant: (1) didn’t injure the muscle while dunking; and (2) won’t be prohibited from dunking.

“Dez is a passionate guy and he loves football,” coach Jason Garrett said, via Clarence E. Hill, Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “If we get every player and every coach and every staff member in our organization to have the passion, emotion and enthusiasm for the game that Dez Bryant has, we’re going to win a lot of games. Sometimes there are manifestations of that. Certainly you don’t want a player getting hurt when he celebrates. That’s not what happened. Dez got hurt on a route. But we don’t think his injury is serious. We don’t want to take the Dez out of Dez, though. Dez is a special player and he brings so much to our football team.”

Bryant won’t be practicing on Saturday as he continues to recover from the injury. It’s unclear when he’ll be back on the field, risking further injury by leaping up to throw a football over a horizontal bar.
