Cowboys WR Bryant returns to practice

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant was back on the practice field Thursday after missing Wednesday's session with a sore back.

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said he did not believe Bryant's sore back is a long-term issue. Bryant was running routes in practice Thursday.

Defensive tackle Jason Hatcher (stinger) missed practice for the second straight day, Defensive tackle Nick Hayden also missed practice with a rib injury that limited him Wednesday.
