With the Dallas Cowboys still feeling the media backlash over the Greg Hardy situation, receiver Dez Bryant went on a 10-minute rant at an unnamed reporter and later accused him on Twitter of using a racial slur.

Bryant has missed five games for the Cowboys this season, recovering from knee and foot injuries. He was returning to practice on a limited basis today after incurring a left knee injury in Sunday's overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

"He'll be limited," Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said of Bryant. "He'll start working off to the side and hopefully he can progress as practice goes on."

Bryant, a two-time Pro Bowler, had 12 catches for 164 yards and a touchdown on Sunday.

The 2-6 Cowboys visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon.
