Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant will start against the Carolina Panthers and also return punts on Sunday, he told ESPN's Bob Holtzman.
NFL.com and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Saturday that Bryant would be in the starting lineup barring a setback.
Bryant was listed as questionable on the Cowboys' injury report Friday with a groin injury.
