Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has a broken bone in his right foot that will require surgery, according to team owner Jerry Jones.

Bryant, who was seen in a walking boot following the game, is expected to miss four-to-six weeks with the injury.

Bryant exited the game in the fourth quarter and missed the final three drives of the Cowboys' comeback win, as Tony Romo found Jason Witten for touchdowns on back-to-back drives.

Following the game, Bryant was seen celebrating the victory with teammates in the tunnel leading to the locker room.

Losing the All-Pro receiver is a huge blow to the Cowboys' offense, which will need to replace Bryant's 1,320 yards and 16 receiving touchdowns with a combination of Terrence Williams, Cole Beasley, and Witten.
