Dez Bryant participates in Dallas Cowboys practice

Dallas Cowboys star Dez Bryant has participated in the team's organised activity on Thursday, despite ongoing contract talks.

Bryant has yet to sign a franchise-tag tender, and until then he is not obligated to show up for the team's mini-camp between June 16 and 18.

A long-term deal needs to be agreed upon before July 15, or Bryant would have to play the season on the tender offer.

The Pro Bowler has made a handful of appearances during the off-season conditioning program, before going through individual drills on Thursday.

Bryant led the NFL and set a team record with 16 touchdown receptions last season to go along with 88 catches for 1,320 yards.
