Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant did not practice Wednesday as the team continued to evaluate his injured right knee.

Coach Jason Garrett said at his press conference that Bryant, who suffered a sprained right knee Sunday night against the Chicago Bears, is day-to-day and "doesn't feel good enough to practice."

Garrett would not say when Bryant had an MRI even though the star receiver tweeted Wednesday after a fan asked about the results: "We'll find out today."

Bryant was injured on the second play of Sunday's game when Bears linebacker Christian Jones dragged the receiver down after an 11-yard gain. Bryant missed six plays before returning and finished with three catches for 40 yards, including his first touchdown of the season.

After the 31-17 win at AT&T Stadium, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Bryant would have more tests Monday.

Jones told 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday morning that Bryant did not yet have an MRI and "maybe" would get one later in the day. Jones expects Bryant to play this week against the San Francisco 49ers.

"He hasn't taken an MRI to my knowledge, so I'm assuming he's going to go," Jones said Tuesday. "He certainly finished the game out. That in and of itself is a good indication, it doesn't mean he's going to be free of the symptoms or the injury, but again we may look at an MRI before this day is over."
