          IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant went through his first full practice on Wednesday since injuring his right shoulder Sept. 14 against the Tennessee Titans.

          Bryant has not missed a game, but he had been a limited participant in the previous six practices. In the two games since getting hurt Bryant caught nine passes for 133 yards and two touchdowns in wins against the St. Louis Rams and New Orleans Saints.

          Linebacker Rolando McClain also went through a full practice for the first time since injuring his groin against the Titans.

          Defensive tackle Henry Melton (hamstring) and defensive end Anthony Spencer (knee) were limited. Both played last week against the Saints and barring any setbacks will be available Sunday against the Houston Texans.

          Quarterback Tony Romo (back) and linebacker Bruce Carter (quadriceps) were the only Cowboys not to practice. Romo will practice on Thursday, following the same plan he has used the past two weeks. Carter will not play against the Texans, but hopes to return Oct. 12 against the Seattle Seahawks.
