Already playing with a bruised back and a sprained left ankle, Dallas Cowboysreceiver Dez Bryant suffered a broken right ankle on a fourth-quarter kick return against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Indianapolis’ Kavell Conner held onto Bryant’s leg while tackling him on a kickoff return. Bryant was taken directly to the locker room by the medical staff. He did not put any pressure on his right leg as he was carried off.Earlier, Bryant had a kickoff return to the Indianapolis 16-yard line called back because of a holding penalty. He had one catch for 14 yards after being held without a catch on Thanksgiving by New Orleans.
Bryant’s rookie season has been filled with dazzling plays and injuries. He missed five preseason games with a high right ankle sprain. He has also played through bruised ribs.
Meanwhile, Cowboys slot cornerback Orlando Scandrick suffered a concussion and did not return. Scandrick was injured in the second quarter, returned after missing one play, but missed the rest of the half.

In the first half, Scandrick picked off a Peyton Manning pass and returned it 40 yards for a touchdown that gave the Cowboys a 17-0 lead. It was one of two turnovers for the Cowboys.Alan Ball also picked off a Manning pass.
Go Cowboys! Good win against Indy
