Dallas Cowboys’ receiver, Dez Bryant, has a tough time staying out of trouble. Coach Jason Garrett is going above and beyond his call of duty to help Bryant and his family with their tribulations. “What we’ve tried to do is come up with a plan for Dez like we would for any player who we feel like needs our support, and help him be his best as a player and as a person,” Garrett said. “And the accountability factor is an important part of that with him and with anybody on our football team.”
Bryant was arrested in July for allegedly assaulting his mother. Although she has said she doesn’t want authorities to pursue charges against him, he still stands a chance of being disciplined by the NFL. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told The Associated Press in an email Monday that the league “will review the facts once the case is resolved by the court.” He said the team’s guidelines for Bryant will have nothing to do with league discipline.
“We’re going to control what we can control as an organization, and Dez has done everything that we’ve asked him to do up to this point both on and off the football field,” Garrett said. “Any decision about that is out of our control.”
