Dez Bryant's locker room outburst apparently wasn't the only drama happening at Valley Ranch last week.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy showed up late for work Thursday - the same day as Bryant's outburst - and missed nearly all of the morning meetings as the team prepared for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports 1.

It's unclear whether Hardy was punished, but the reported tardiness had no effect on his playing time Sunday.

A day earlier, Hardy was spoken to by head coach Jason Garrett over changes made to his Twitter bio proclaiming himself "innocent until proven guilty."

The Cowboys lost their seventh straight game Sunday, and while quarterback Tony Romo is set to return, time is running out for them to salvage their season.

As for all the craziness at Valley Ranch, one player told Garafolo: "We love the attention."
