Report: Bryant reports to camp 3 hours late, misses conditioning

Tim Heitman / USA TODAY Sports

On Thursday, Dallas Cowboys star receiver Dez Bryant spent the day feeding thousands of people in his hometown of Lufkin, Texas after throwing an impromptu barbecue.

The following day, Bryant may have paid the price for his generosity, as he reported to training camp three hours late and missed his conditioning run, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Bryant told NFL Network's Jane Slater that he'd been fighting a sinus infection and headaches, and apologized to the Cowboys coaching staff and "took full responsibility" for his tardiness.

The pass-catcher admitted to Slater he was wrong not to inform the Dallas staff earlier and said he's prepared for the consequences, though it's unknown if the Cowboys will take any disciplinary action.

The 28-year-old has a long history of off-field issues such as this, with the Cowboys famously hiring handlers to curb Bryant's unreliability.
