Now that the Saints are pretty much out of the playoffs, things are potentially falling the Saints way; although I never want the Saints to benefit from another teams injury.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport confirmed a report from Nick Eatman of DallasCowboys.com via a team source Monday that Dez Bryant could miss the rest of the season with an injured finger that might require surgery. The third-year wideout is set to visit with a specialist who will determine Bryant's fate.

Bryant was injured during his 27-yard touchdown reception in Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He played through the pain and told Rapoport after the game it was a sprained finger and happened before the catch.

Bryant has developed dangerous chemistry with quarterback Tony Romo over the past month. Over the last five games, four of which were wins, Bryant has 525 yards on 33 catches for seven touchdowns. Losing him for the rest of the year would amount to a devastating setback for a 7-6 Dallas team still alive in the NFC East race and battling for position in the conference playoff picture.

Bryant's 75 catches on the year are second to only tight end Jason Witten's 92, and the receiver's 1,028 yards and nine touchdowns lead a team that has no replacement for a player like this.

UPDATE: Nick Eatman of the team's official site spoke with coach Jason Garrett, who described Bryant's situation as "50-50." Garrett later told reporters Bryant is probably "literally right now seeing the doctors," and emphasized that no diagnosis or decision had been made on the receiver's availability.
