FRISCO, Texas -- Dez Bryant hesitated to talk about playing a day after the death of his father, and preferred not to try to add anything to Tony Romos heartfelt statement about the quarterback situation in Dallas.The Cowboys star receiver had already drained enough emotion on the field in a wild win at Pittsburgh, less than a week after his passionate reminder that critics didnt think hed still be around six years after he slid in the draft because of concerns over character.To try to get Bryant talking, someone offered a description of his game against the Steelers , when he had six catches for 116 yards and a 50-yard touchdown that ended with him in tears on his knees in the end zone rather than in his customary X pose.It was cool, the 2014 All-Pro said, smiling as the brief answer stopped, drawing laughter from reporters.There is another way to get Bryant going these days. Ask about the chemistry hes been raving about for weeks on a team with the NFLs best record (8-1) heading into Sundays game against AFC North-leading Baltimore (5-4).Bryant wasnt expecting that bond to affect him this personally, though. Not until he had to play so soon after finding out his father died, and while the team was on the road.If I didnt have my teammates or that type of vibe -- if we didnt have this type of vibe in the locker room -- I dont think I couldve played in that game, to be honest, Bryant said. These guys are amazing.The scene in the end zone was rare for the normally demonstrative Bryant, who is tied with teammate Jason Witten with 62 career touchdowns, third in club history and nine shy of Hall of Famer Bob Hayes record. The full embrace with coach Jason Garrett is what stood out on the sideline.I love Dez Bryant, Garrett said. Anyone who has had a chance to be around him loves him the same. He believes strongly in developing relationships with people around him. He loves this football team. He loves his teammates. Its hard not to feel the same way about him.Bryant believes team chemistry helped ease the transition to rookie Dak Prescott, who has won eight straight games and is keeping the quarterback job even though Romo, the 10-year starter, is ready to play following a preseason back injury. Romo has been the guy on the other end of most of Bryants 434 catches and 6,223 yards in his career.When Bryant offered enthusiastic updates on Romos recovery from the broken bone in his back from a preseason game, some interpreted it as his desire to get Romo back on the field. But Bryant had been clear from early in the season that he thought Prescott could be something special.Pundits seized on Bryants pair of one-catch games with Prescott. Yet he also has three 100-yard games in the six he has played; Bryant missed three games with a knee injury.I feel like I have been misunderstood for so long, said Bryant, who had off-field issues early in his career and several emotional outbursts on the sidelines. Im really not supposed to be in the league right now, according to a lot of people. But Im here. A lot of people try to say Im a `me, me, me guy. Thats never been. Thats not how I was taught.And he believes that has something to do with why he is still in the league, and signed his big contract.I genuinely care about people, he said. Ive been around a lot of hate in my life. Thats something I try my best to eliminate every day. Like I said, Im no longer interested in trying to get people to see who I am.Witten, in his 14th season and the Dallas leader in career receptions, is among those who have tangled with Bryant in sideline episodes through the years. Those incidents never seemed to spill into the locker room during the week, and theyre less frequent.Thats one of the relationships that Ive cherished the most over the last seven years, Witten said. We talk about it all the time, but when you can have an impact like that and see a guy come along on the field, the skill set he brings, how competitive he is and then the growth that goes with it, hes a brother of mine.Bryant felt that bond more than ever last weekend.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Cheap China Jerseys .

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Sabres forward Evander Kane is set to return on Wednesday, and star center Jack Eichel might not be too far behind.Coach Dan Bylsma announced that Kane will play against Ottawa in his first game since missing 11 with broken ribs.As for Eichel, Bylsma said he was meeting with a doctor to have his sprained left ankle evaluated and could soon be cleared for on-ice workouts.I dont want to suggest that its going to be today or tomorrow or the next day that hes getting on the ice, but hes progressing quite nicely, Bylsma said of Eichel, one of the NHLs top rookies last season.Thats encouraging news for a banged-up team that lost Kane and Eichel to injuries a day apart a month ago.Eichel was hurt during practice on Oct. 12, a day before Buffalos season opener against Montreal. Kane was hurt in a 4-1 loss to the Canadiens, when he lost his balance and crashed into the end boards.Its not feeling pretty good, but its well enough where I can contribute, Kane said, assessing his ribs. I feel I can be a difference maker on the team, so Im looking forward to proving that and going out there tonight and showing it.Kane spent the past week taking part in individual drills, including contact sessions -- the most physical of which occurred on Monday.Hes a two-time 220-goal-scorer and hard-hitting player who is being counted on to fill a spot on one of Buffalos two top lines.ddddddddddddIn his eighth NHL season, Kane has seen his production slowed by injuries.The Sabres acquired him in a multiplayer trade in February 2015 with Winnipeg and after Kane had season-ending shoulder surgery.He also has encountered off-ice troubles.Last week, a Buffalo judge agreed to dismiss charges against Kane stemming from altercations he had with three women and a bouncer at a bar in June. He was accused of grabbing the women by the hair and neck.Erie County District Attorney Michael Flaherty referred to Kanes behavior as arrogant, boorish and surly, but not criminal.Kane denied the allegations, and his lawyer said the agreement does not include an admission of guilt.Kane said his only concern this past month was getting healthy.I really havent felt like anythings been hanging over my head outside of not being able to play, he said. Now that Im healed up and ready to go, thats what Im looking forward to.Bylsma said center Tyler Ennis is being evaluated for what he called a mid-body injury and wont play against Ottawa. ' ' '
