Dez Bryant travels with Cowboys to San Francisco

Last weekend, Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant suffered a hairline fracture near his knee. However, the Cowboys have not officially ruled him out for the team's game on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
Ian Rapoport of
NFL Network is reporting that Bryant has traveled to San Francisco (actually the Santa Clara area) with the Cowboys. Had he been officially ruled out, he likely would not have made the trip. Bryant was listed as questionable on Dallas' official injury report on Friday.
On Thursday, Adam Schefter of
ESPN reported that Bryant could miss up to three weeks with the injury. While he is very unlikely to play against the 49ers on Sunday, we probably won't officially know for sure until about 90 minutes prior to kickoff when teams announce their inactive players for the game.
For the 49ers, CB Jimmie Ward has officially been ruled out and it is likely that either Rashard Robinson or Keith Reaser starts in his place. Ward suffered a quad injury during the second quarter of Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He is reportedly week-to-week.

Kyle Shanahan feels "really fortunate" with 49ers' QB room
Kyle Shanahan praises his quarterback room every year. Last season, the San Francisco 49ers went through three starting quarterbacks and still made it to the NFC Championship Game. Trey Lance was the Week 1 starter but suffered a season-ending ankle injury during his second game. Eleven weeks later, Jimmy Garoppolo sustained a broken foot.
That opened the door for rookie Brock Purdy to show his coaches and the NFL world that he belonged, despite being the last overall pick in the draft. Purdy guided the 49ers to eight consecutive wins before suffering a severe injury in that NFC title game matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Two of the quarterbacks from last season—Lance and Purdy—remain. Both are just 23 years old. They are joined by Sam

The San Francisco 49ers entered the offseason with several questions after key figures, such as Jimmie Ward, Mike McGlinchey, Samson Ebukam, and Charles Omenihu, departed in free agency, creating the possibility for position battles in organized team activities(OTAs) and training camp.
