IRVING – The future of receiver Antonio Bryant with the Cowboys could be in jeopardy after he was involved in a brief altercation with coach Bill Parcells during Tuesday’s practice, according to several witnesses.
Although the Cowboys concluded their three-day veteran mini-camp on Monday, they are participating in on-field activities the rest of the week, which that are not open to the media.
The witnesses said the incident occurred early in practice during team drills.
It began with after Bryant being became upset with the number of repetitions he was getting during a drill. He began openly complaining, and Parcells told him to stop.
After an exchange of words, Bryant took off his pads, slammed them to the ground and began to leave the practice field. Parcells followed and they exchanged more words.
Several players separated the two men – Bryant had to be restrained by teammates – before the incident escalated further.
The rest of practice continued without incident.
The Cowboys could choose to release Bryant, fine him for conduct detrimental to the team or keep him on the roster do nothing. If Bryant were released, he would count about $300,000 against the club’s 2004 salary cap. He is scheduled to earn $455,000 this season.
In December, the Cowboys released nickel cornerback Derek Ross, their nickel cornerback, after several off-the-field incidents.
Bryant and Ross are close friends.
