IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett is not sure Dez Bryant will practice Wednesday as the receiver continues to rehab from right foot surgery performed Sept. 14.

There is hope Bryant can play Sunday against the New York Giants, but Garrett said Bryant will have to practice during the week. The Cowboys’ first full practice for the game is Wednesday, but the team has a quick walkthrough on Tuesday.

"We don’t put these things down like the Magna Carta and say, ‘These are all the different standards that we have for Dez. This is what his standard is for this day and for this day and for this day,’” Garrett said. “We have an objective. We want to get him back on the football field as quickly as we can. We have different processes we’ll go through to help get him there. Then, day by day we’ll evaluate it and see if he’s able to do what we’ve asked him to do, see if he’s capable of doing more, see if we should dial it back, and we make our best decision as we go.

“We’re not going to make any determination today about whether or not Dez Bryant is going to play in this game. We’re going to see how he’s doing. He’s made a lot of progress in the last few weeks.”

Speaking on 105.3 The Fan Tuesday morning, owner and general manager Jerry Jones indicated the decision will be based on “if he's comfortable putting it down and driving off on his foot, then we're comfortable with him playing."

Garrett said the decision will be a collaboration of the medical staff, Bryant, the coaches and front office.

“His input matters,” Garrett said. “Nobody knows his body like he knows his body, so how he’s feeling, what he’s able to do functionally, what that feels like, the different stresses he puts on it, he’s the one who knows that better than anyone else. That communication is critical. But there also has to be another set of eyes on it. The medical people are great at working through injuries and certainly there is a coach’s perspective as well as to how he looks.”

There is also a conditioning factor. Bryant did not take part in the offseason program and was limited to half of the training camp practices over the summer with a hamstring strain. He caught five passes for 48 yards against the Giants in the opener before getting hurt.

"I think anytime a player comes off an injury, conditioning is a factor,” Garrett said. “He has to be physically ready to play and when you have a leg injury or a foot injury sometimes that conditioning gets compromised. You have to condition different ways. There’s a lot of different machines you can use to help you get in condition. The best way to get in condition is to be on a practice field practicing in your football pads and your cleats. But sometimes you don’t have those ideal situations with everybody. Dez is a veteran player. He understands how to get himself ready to play. We’ll take his situation day by day.”
