DALLAS, Aug. 19 (UPI) -- Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver Dez Bryant lost an earring and maybe a little dignity Tuesday in a scrimmage skirmish.
Bryant and the Cowboys were facing the St. Louis Rams in a joint practice. Bryant was involved in a dustup with a teammate earlier this off-season on the practice field.
During this big brawl, you can see Bryant get clocked in the face. Many onlookers captured the event, with NBC 5's Pat Doney even grabbing a video of Bryant having his diamond earring returned by a security guard.
After the fight, Bryant sent then deleted a tweet profiling the event.

"I wish I would have cheap shot his [expletive] then all of y'all would have seen the difference ... You can't even put that [expletive] on world star lol," Bryant tweeted.
