It suddenly dawned on viewers that his injury was serious. Hurns received immediate medical attention from the Cowboys' medical team and was taken to hospital.
It was later confirmed by owner Jerry Jones that the 27-year-old suffered a dislocated left ankle in addition to fractures.

It was also Jones' understanding that Hurns was in surgery following the win, and remarkably a source told ESPN that Hurns is expected to be ready to return to football by August.
Cowboys teammate Cole Beasley spoke about the injury afterwards:
"It's terrible, man. You never want to see an injury like that to any of your brothers out there. It's unfortunate." he said after the game.
"I feel for him, and I just hope he's in good spirits. I'm sure he's got a lot on his mind. It sucks, man. That's never a good feeling."
