IRVING, Texas - For all the drama Dez Bryant created on and off the field early in his career, the Dallas receiver has never really had a public spat with a high-profile rival.Tony Romos top target isnt going to start with Richard Sherman, the talented Seattle cornerback whos been known to call out opposing receivers in pointed ways.I feel like at times he says what he feels and thats what he believes, said Bryant, who will try to match his second-longest touchdown streak at five games when the Cowboys (4-1) visit the Seahawks on Sunday. Theres really nothing wrong with what hes doing. He has issues with other players that are a conflict, but thats not here. We have respect.Days after dismissing Washingtons Pierre Garcon as a receiver who doesnt matter, Sherman had entirely different words for Bryant, one of the leagues most productive receivers since the Cowboys drafted him in 2010.The timing might have had a little to do with it because Bryant had just made one of the best catches of his career a€” a leaping, juggling 37-yarder on third down to set up the winning field goal in a 20-17 overtime victory against Houston.He made a fantastic play for them last week, which is indicative of what he can do when the ball is in the air, Sherman said. Hes definitely physical throughout the route.The Cowboys bring a surprising record and NFL rusher leader DeMarco Murray to Seattle (3-1), and the matchup of Murray against the leagues top rushing defence is certainly a talker. But Sherman against Bryant is probably the most intriguing one-on-one battle in the game.Its unlikely that Dallas will follow the lead of other teams and simply stay away from Sherman. The Cowboys have generally been better when theyve found ways to get the ball to Bryant, whose 44 scoring catches through 64 games are more than twice what Drew Pearson had and 15 more than Michael Irvin at the same point in the careers of those No. 88s for Dallas.They have really good players all across their defence, so I think if you got into that game with these guys you wouldnt really snap the ball, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said. Theyre awfully good. Just put the tape on. But we have to do what we do.Even if Sherman took aim at Bryant the way he did with San Franciscos Michael Crabtree, its unlikely he would get much of a response from Bryant. While the fifth-year receiver had a petty sideline moment as recently as last season when he went to the locker room before the clock expired in a loss to Green Bay, he usually dances away from headline-grabbing sound bites.He wouldnt oblige reporters Thursday when asked if he considered himself the best, and after Garrett playfully pushed him away from the conversation, he came back for one more answer a€” and a politically correct one at that.But Bryant isnt naive enough to believe all the niceties will extend into the game.Im pretty sure hes going to say something to me, said Bryant, who said he chatted with Sherman and exchanged phone numbers at an event during the off-season. Im pretty sure Im going to say something to him. But at the end of the day, when its all said and done, were going to congratulate one another and talk and take pictures and get back on the plane and go our separate ways.NOTES: LB Bruce Carter is out for a second straight game because of a strained quadriceps, but LB Rolando McClain (groin) practiced Friday. Hes listed as questionable, but owner Jerry Jones said on his radio show that he anticipated McClain playing.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Crystal Dunn Jersey .

On Tuesday, coach Chuck Pagano said Indianapolis had activated the former Giants running back and linebacker Pat Angerer from the physically unable to perform list. The Colts wasted no time in putting Angerer on the field, sending him in halfway through the morning walkthrough. The timing of Bradshaws actual return isnt as clear. "He feels great, and if it was left up to him, he would go today," Pagano said. "But were going to protect him from himself. Hes going to be day-to-day." The Colts had about a dozen players sit out of Tuesdays practice in pads, including the latest addition -- Coby Fleener, who has a concussion. Bradshaw has not practiced since opening training camp on the PUP list, barring him from practice. After he participated in a walkthrough last week, the Colts and league officials began talking about whether Bradshaw, who is recovering from off-season surgery on his right foot, should be activated. "We had discussions with the league concerning Ahmads status and decided it was time to bring him off the list," Pagano said. Bradshaw is now eligible to play in Sunday nights preseason game against his former team, but that isnt going to happen. The former New York star told reporters he did not expect to play. Bradshaw was cut by the Giants on Feb. 6 and didnt sign with Indy until June 11. In six seasons in New York, Bradshaw had 921 carries for 4,232 yards, 32 TDs and three 1,000-yard seasons. He also won two Super Bowl rings and will be best remembered for scoring the go-ahead touchdown against New England in the 2012 Super Bowl, whicch was played in Indianapolis.dddddddddddd Its the only time a Super Bowl was won with a rushing touchdown in the final minute. He left New York ranked sixth all-time in yards rushing, seventh all-time in carries and ninth all-time in TD runs. When fully healthy, Bradshaw is expected to compete with Vick Ballard and Donald Brown for the Colts starting job. "Were going to take it slow. I feel great right now, but its a process," Bradshaw said. "The most exciting part is that I see a lot of potential for this offence." Angerer also has been recovering from off-season surgery on his right foot. Indy took Angerer in the second round of the 2010 draft, and he wound up starting 11 games and making 50 tackles as a rookie. In 2011, Angerer led the Colts and finished fourth in the NFL in tackles (146). Last season, though, Angerer was slowed by a foot injury and finished with 57 tackles, started only three times and missed five games. The absence of Fleener leaves Indy thin at tight end. Dwayne Allen, who was expected to work with Fleener in double tight-end formations, is already out with an injured right foot. Allen was on crutches for practice. The only other tight ends on the roster are Dominique Jones, who caught one pass last season, and Justice Cunningham, the last overall pick in this years draft. Pagano said Fleener was going through the concussion protocol but it means he will probably be out at least a couple of days. Indy also signed cornerback Johnny Adams and linebacker Monte Simmons, and waived injured linebackers Justin Hickman (foot) and Quinton Spears (hamstring). If Hickman and Spears clear waivers, they will go on injured reserve. ' ' '
