Cowboys WR Bryant fractures ankle

Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant fractured his right ankle during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.



The Cowboys confirmed the injury after Dallas’ 38-35 overtime win.

Indianapolis’ Kavell Conner held onto Bryant’s leg while tackling him on a kickoff return, and the Cowboys immediately took Bryant to the locker room.

“That sets us back,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. “That sets us back. I really feel bad for him, but it really sets us back. The good news is we’ve got some depth there. That’ll give (Kevin) Ogletree and guys like that a little more play time.”

Bryant, a rookie from Oklahoma State, has 45 catches for 561 yards and six touchdowns this season.

“He’s certainly made great strides in his rookie year,” Dallas coach Jason Garrett said. “For a guy who missed as much training camp as he did to make the impact he’s made on our football team has been significant.”
