Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant made a surprise visit to the team's minicamp on Thursday but did not practice, according to ESPN.
The Cowboys placed the franchise tag on Bryant this off-season, which would pay him $12.823 million in 2015, but Bryant is holding out and hoping to secure a long-term deal. His agent said earlier this week that Bryant is willing to skip regular season games if he doesn't have a multi-year deal in place.
Players who have been franchise tagged have until July 15 to sign a long-term extension.
According to ESPN, Bryant spent much of the practice sitting with teammates in the stands.
The 26-year-old was named to the Pro Bowl last season after he caught 88 passes for 1,320 yards and a league-high 16 touchdowns.
